The restaurant was bustling. Active toddlers fleeing from harried parents in pursuit. Moms and Dads sopping up spills. Shrieks of indignation from the unlucky few unable to escape from a high chair or booster seat.
A waiter appeared at my table in the bar.
"Left the family at home?" he asked.
I grinned. "All of them."
He surveyed the chaos and laughed. "Now this is the way to celebrate Mother's Day," he said.
I turned another page of my book.
"I totally agree."

The kids made construction-paper gifts for me all weekend. I got two lovely cards from my stepkids. And then I spent the ENTIRE afternoon ALONE.
Bliss.

Ooooh, I'm so jealous (but happy for you, of course!). I had a horrible MD and am starting to question my sanity regarding my choice to becomea mother in the first place. Your day sounds like bliss.
Oh, happy sigh... that's awesome!
If I hadn't been bribed with tickets to see Dolly Parton, I would've asked for that very kind of day. It does sound like total bliss.
