One Happy Momma

I had a fantastic day!  I wasn't planning on it when I woke up this morning, as it is just a Wednesday and all that was on the docket was house chores and work.  But work was actually the thing that made it so much better!

Wednesdays are the days that we have our medicare meetings where we discuss each patient's progress and therapy plan.  When noon rolled around, I walked into the therapy gym to do the good ol' regimen only to find a surprise baby shower for myself and my coworker, Gretel.  Gretel is our PT Assistant and is 5 weeks ahead of me.  We were both shocked.

Our coworkers had organized a little luncheon. There was chilli in the crock-pot and a salad bar and of course, my all time favorite, cheese cake! Now I did walk into work today mid-morning and exclaimed "Mmm, it smells awesome in here."  I also saw the crock-pot.  I still did not put it together.  It doesn't take much to pull the wool over my eyes.  Fortunately, I wasn't alone.  Gretel also had no idea and she works in the gym (my office is just down the hall) so I didn't feel so bad.

We took turns opening presents.  Ironically, I mainly got two things:  outfits & bath essentials. Momma is going to have a lot of laundry to do, but I can't wait until our baby boy can don all of his fancy duds.  We got cute little whale themed towels and rags and a bunch of bath toys.  We also got books, a humidifier, and a handmade quilt!  So amazing!

To top it off, I had my yearly work review (which I had non surprisingly forgotten about). It clearly went well  (otherwise this paragraph would have started with "to ruin my day...").  I was rewarded with a lovely bonus... and a raise!  Hello, good day??? Things just got a whole lot better!

I'm worn out and exhausted but I don't think this smile has left my face all day.
