Today Is Mothers Day
I'm kind of indifferent on Mother's Day. I love my mother but it's not like we do anything all that special. In fact, it's usually a typical day, but she doesn't make dinner and she has an excuse to make her do things. The one thing that today made me realize is that indifference is a lot better than dread.
My mom doesn't expect all that much. She might demand massages and what not during the day, but she doesn't expect it to be all that great. There's no pressure. I can't really mess it up unless I get in a car accident, get raped or do something else that would just ruin any normal day.
Erin and I went to Target a little after 2 and decided to make mini scrapbooks for our moms which was not the best idea. It would have been a great idea a month ago, but not a task that should be done in a few hours.
1. We snuck into her house while her mom drove 1.5 miles to get Adam and took scrapbooking supplies and pictures.
2. My house to look for pictures.
3. Trip 1 to CVS: Both printed pictures off of memory sticks.
4. Erin had to go out to dinner but I worked on my stuff.
-Trip 2 to CVS: I forgot to print pictures of myself, so I did that. I also scanned 12 of Erin's.
5. I worked for a few solid hours on my scrapbook while Erin finished her shopping.
6. Erin came back and worked on layout while I finished most of mine.
7. Trip 3 to CVS: Scanned 15 pictures.
8. Remembered we didn't have a glue stick at 9:45PM. Needed to get somewhere fast. Ended up at Walgreeen's seconds before it closed.
9. Scrapbooked at Erin's until 12:15. Both of us were almost completely done.
This entry is ridiculously long which considering it's all about 2 scrapbooks. Ridiculously long is kind of how I feel about today, but it also went by ridiculously fast. That statement is contradictory. I don't care. I'm tired. I had cheez-its for dinner. I'm going to bed.
