The husband should get up when I tell him
The cats should not be screaming at me for food, there not mine
The son should start his chores without a million reminders
The daughter should stop trying to sleep the day away just like the husband
The rain should not be falling when I have outside plans
The coffee should be hot and in my hand when I wake up
I should not have to turn my heater back on at the end of May
The home repair store should be open when I am ready to get started on my projects at 7 in the morning

Mother's Day
Can I just say that I have the sweetest little buggers around. Scott woke me up on Mother's day to breakfast in bed and Faith made me the sweetest Mother's day sign.
I have to tell you that Scott made bacon for breakfast but burnt the first batch so he woke his sister up to have her make the bacon. So he decided that he would make me his speciality. He brought the plate of bacon in with a bowl in his other hand. Now I figured he brought me cereal to go with the bacon or maybe scrambled eggs but nope. To go along with my perfectly chewy bacon and my fresh cold MT Dew at 9 in the morning was a big bowl of luke warm ramen noodles......Needless to say when he asked if I was going to eat it I told him how sweet he was for making it but I cant eat that early in the morning. He promptly asked if he could eat it, so it did not go to waste.
The kids both got me cards (with a lot of prodding on my part for John to take them) that were sweet and my parents sent me a card. Faith made me a dish towel that she asked that we not turn brown. So I told her we wouldn't use it at all. John made a funny face at that but he cant use it if I have hidden it away in the hope chest.
In the evening went to my in-laws for taco salad. My nephew The Tall Skinny One made the dinner, including homemade Guacamole. His brother for Mother's day made their mom a Grandma. My Great-Nephew was born Friday evening weighing in at 7lbs 9ozs, I think.

Yard work
John went to bed early last night, this meant that when I went to bed there was no room for me. He was knocked out and not moving. So I slept on the couch, which is really comfortable except when the fat cat jumps on my chest and starts kneading. Anyways so this morning John was sweet to keep the kids quite so that I could sleep. He woke me up before he went outside. I figured that since he let me sleep in that I should get up and go help him outside....
Three trips to Lowe's, and ten hours later my sprinkler system is fixed and working properly. Last year we had to replace one of the automatic control box's and Matt decided that the whole sprinkler box should be completely replaced. However he ended up covering the whole with a piece of board for the whole winter. Today that all changed.
Also Scott and I tilled and planted out a small home garden. Three tomato plants, two bell peppers, a jalapeno and Brussels sprouts from seed. If anything grows I will be shocked, but Scott wanted it so I figured it would be good for the two of us to do it together.
On another note the fabric swatches came in for the dining room. There really wasn't to much of problem picking the fabric. Taffeta vine on Cinnabar, its on the top on the right in the picture.. It's a shiny material that changes between red and orange depending on the light. It is perfect for my color scheme and we did chose on a color also we went with the darker green.
