Mother's Day 2013 - My Weekend in Review

Mother's Day 2013 was a bit different for me as compared to previous years.  It was quiet, serene and without all of the hustle and bustle. It was relaxing and enjoyable.

I was up early, drinking coffee and working on a major report, final product looked pretty good.  No church for me.  I have not been to church on Mother's Day since my beloved mother passed away.  I am not quite ready for that.  Let those with mothers celebrate as I had done for over 50 years.

No sulking here.  Received nice text messages from family members and friends.  Prepared grocery list for a fancy breakfast casserole I will be making for a Saturday event. Rented a Google video, which I promptly fell asleep on (Why do I keep wasting my money?  LOL)


To FairPlay for groceries on this cold Sunday afternoon, then visited my sister Janine, had a nice time with niece Jillian as well.  Returned home to prepared dinner... a simple garden salad and baked chicken wings. My brother Jon came over for dinner and cocktails.

But this was really a nice Mother's Day weekend.  I visit my son Jarrell on Saturday and later took my youngest nephew Drew out for a belated birthday dinner at The Boundary in Wicker Park.

So, in reflection, I made nice family rounds on this Mother's Day weekend.  I did not get a chance to see Jerald and Jamelle, but I did get a nice early morning text from their dad / my brother Jerome.

So it was a nice weekend... peaceful, quiet, connected and reflective.
