Saturday was a crazy day! I was on a mission. My mission was to bring my friend, Jonette, to her super secret surprise baby shower. I secretly trained for this mission by watching old spy movies like The Bourne Ultimatum, Fletch (wait..that's not a spy movie, but it was funny), Spy Kids 3D and my favorite t.v. show, Chuck. It all came crashing down when my friend decided she was going to drive instead of me. All that training and I was about to blow my cover. Luckily, she picked me up late enough (my goal was to stall her until they were ready for her at the party) that we arrived at the party on time. Woo Who!
On our way to the party, she tells me how wonderful it is that I have done so much for MOPS since the time I started the group. (Jonette is an original, she was one of our first MOPS mommies to join. She's seen me grow into my Leadership role and our MOPS Steering Team too. She's seen MOPS go from being this great idea to what it's become now, a great place for moms to come and share and encourage each other.) Her words were kind and generous, but what stood out the most, were the words that came next. She spoke about my husband...how wonderful it is that he supports me in all of the volunteer work that I do. Even though he has a job that keeps him really busy, he still makes time for me, the kids and my volunteer responsibilities. He's always there for us and for that, I am very grateful.
So, Saturday, I just spent time helping hubby with things that needed to get done for his work and volunteer role in Cub Scouts...and I also gave him lots of free time to play his PSP while I took care of the kids.
Just incase you're wondering about the super secret surprise baby shower....I did manage to pull it off but what amazed me was that my friend, Emily, along with my CACE and MOPS friends managed to pull the biggest spy job ever...a super secret surprise 40th b-day party for me. They sure pulled a fast one on me. I guess I need to keep watching more spy flicks. I can't wait until The Spy Next Door comes out on DVD, anyone want to come over and see the movie with me?
Until tomorrow, have a great day!
