Here are a couple of pictures from our dinner with writersblock and sherlock last week.
I have four days, counting what remains of today, of maternity leave left. The first few weeks seemed to have taken forever, and now it seems that this week is flying by. The only good thing about that is that I FINALLY graduate on Friday. I have a million things to do around the house, but the only thing I want to do is play with the baby, watch him smile and giggle at me, and even just watch him sleep. I'm going to miss all this time with him. It was no picnic when I went back to work after Brandon was born, but I don't think it was as hard on me. At least I don't remember it being this hard. I guess since I knew we were going to have more than one child, it was okay. But this time, since this could be it, it hurts. A lot. And I look at Brandon now, at 4 years old, and I wonder where all the time went. How did he grow up so fast? And it sucks to know that in a blink, I will be thinking the same thing about Matt.
Busy weekend coming up: graduation on Friday evening, my nephew Maxx's baptism on Saturday, and Mother's Day on Sunday. All I want for Mother's Day is to win the lotto, and consequently not go back to work. But I'll settle for something nice from here (good imitations work too) or here (I like me some inexpensive, good quality shoes). I'll have to treat myself though, hubby is working on Sunday, and he always claims he doesn't know what I like. Goody, an excuse for me to go shopping!
I have to go now, I have to go to pick up my cap and gown. =)

And Congratulations on graduation! How cool will it be to be DONE, huh?
