Mother's Day and Low Expectations

I had probably the best mother's day yet this year!!  And the secret.... is.... low expectations!!  Haha.  I can't figure out if that is good or bad but it's like a new secret sauce I want to tell every newlywed and new mom.  I literally expected nothing but I wasn't bitter about it or anything I am just a sleepy and busy mom and just feel lucky and blessed when everyone is healthy and happy but Paul got me some lovely flowers and a balloon and an awesome card (the kind that opens and music plays) which absolutely made my day!  Lizzie worked hard on a card for me (oh man that girl needs so much more love from me than I have time for.  She has a heart of gold.)  And I got a lot of love and some emergency preparedness from Paul too.  It was just a nice and relaxed day.
