Can we get a boyfriend stimulus package up in here?
What’s that, bloggy friends? You want to know what I did on Mother’s Day?
Why, I’d be happy to oblige.
I woke up before the crack of dawn, attempted to make my hair somewhat presentable, took seven phone calls before the sun rose, loaded gifts and flowers and cards into my car, said hello to my extremely attractive neighbor, stopped by my office to pick up something, drove 1.5 hours, saw Grandmother # 1, helped a man who collapsed beside me in a parking lot, went to brunch with Grandmother # 2 and her boyfriend, went to my mother’s house and spent time with her and her boyfriend*, picked up wee little MacKenzie, drove 45 minutes, took her to Bass Pro Shop to feed the fish, took her to the Lollipop Store, took her to a bookstore, bought a mid-afternoon snack for wee child, went to the Widow’s Home and passed out flowers to 37 women, met up with my step-mother and Grandmother # 3 (along with their respective people) for dinner, took wee child home, bought 300-something pastries for a work event, went to a mentor’s house to wish her a Happy Mother’s Day, watched a baby kangaroo be born via the Discovery Channel, decided I’m never giving birth, met a stuffed elephant that’s name is Turtle, drove 1.5 hours home and went to bed.
So, basically, just your average, boring Sunday.
I’d love to tell you more about the details, but I have a three hour meeting to go to now which translates to I-got-five-hours-of-sleep-last-night-so-maybe-I’ll-take-up-drinking-coffee.
Happy Monday, loves. I’ll see you in a bit.
*After realizing that a significant portion of the maternal women in my family have boyfriends, I came to the conclusion that the reason I don’t have a boyfriend is probably because my family has already used up our allocation of the Boyfriend Allotment Per Family Act of 2007 which stated that only 37% of your family members are allowed to be in a dating relationship at a time in order to make sure our nation doesn’t find itself in a boyfriend recession.

I called my U.S. Senator’s office and asked for more specifics on the BAPFA of 2007. According to my Senator, the BAPFA states that your family has only used it’s allotment in the age category 40 and above…and furthermore, your age range 39 and below has not met its quota and thus, you are available to date and have a boyfriend, should the opportunity arise.

1. The BAPFA of 2007 must have gone into effect earlier, because that must explain why I didn’t have a boyfriend until I was 20: because my younger sister, who is 4 years younger than I am, had a boyfriend consistently from the time she was about 11.
2. Totally unrelated, but I thought of you this morning because I just started reading a book by John Piper called This Momentary Marriage. It is SO GOOD so far, and I really think you would like it. You should look it up!
3. I just remembered this as I was writing the above comment, but I also thought of you on our honeymoon, because we drove past Cleveland, TN, and my new husband said, “What’s the name of that girl who does that thing with girls and she went to school at Lee?” “Amy Beth!” I replied. “Well, that’s where it is,” he pointed out. It took every ounce of self-control not to ask him to get off at the exit and go to Lee and find someone who knew you who could tell us where you live, because I think it would be wonderful to meet you, and also I thought I would probably get mentioned on the blog if I stopped to say hello whilst on my honeymoon.
4. Just wanted to make sure you read point 2, because that was the whole point of my comment.
Have a great day!
