For Mother’s Day this year we are doing a repeat of Mother’s Day two years ago. Last night I was looking through my old Mother’s Day posts and two years ago we went to the Eagle Brook Saloon for dinner and I flew off to the PBS Annual Meeting on Monday. Cut to two years later and we are off to Eagle Brook Saloon once again with me scheduled to fly out tomorrow morning to the PBS annual Meeting. This time it is in San Diego.

The kids were adorable with their gifts to Allison. Eva and Andrew purchased a special bracelet that spells out mother in Morse code. the bracelet was priced at $10. Eva had $8. the woman gave it to her for $6. While Allison did not see what Eva had bought she knew about the exchange. She contacted the woman to thank her for being so kind to the kids. Allison got a response from the woman who told her that she distinctly remembered the kids and how polite and well mannered they were. Such a great thing to hear about your kids.

Eva made Allison breakfast in bed and Andrew have her a card. Both kids gave Allison cards. I gave her the gift of coffee and a hanging plant.

Dinner was nice. The whole family enjoys Buffalo Wings now. We had the best plate of them tonight, too. Eva flew through them and even Andrew wanted more than one. Eva gets this real serious face on when she wants more wings. We had a great dinner then I said goodbye to the family and headed to work. A short night tonight and then off to the airport for my flight.

Celebrating Mother’s Day

Allison and the Kids for Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother’s Day today with a meal at the Eagle Brook Saloon. Allison put her favorite places into a hat and picked out one for us to go to after we picked Eva up from school. We had a delicious meal and the kids were very well behaved, even Andrew. He’s getting more and more words each day.

Bedtime with the kids was tough. I am headed to California tomorrow to attend the PBS Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Eva was so upset because that means I can’t bring her to school all week and this week she is “Student of the Week”. Mind you, I am not missing some event at school but I can understand because it is a special week for her and she wants me to hear about it. So I put Eva to bed, read her a book and then comforted her for about 30 minutes as she sobbed about missing me and not having any time during the week to play with me and me having to work every weekend.

She brought up many of the same frustrations that I have as well. She asked me why I couldn’t work overnights all week instead. If it was up to me I wouldn’t have to work at any point when I could spend time with the kids but unfortunately Powerball hasn’t shined down upon me, yet. I had a pretty hard time going to sleep tonight.

Hopefully she won’t be too sad all week and I can wake up Friday and take her to school before I have to leave everyone again for a whole ‘nother weekend of work.
