Belated Mother’s Day.

With my parents living out their dream of building a custom home in Ireland I have some majorly mixed emotions!! lol

I’m BEYOND happy for them…they are doing what every hard working person wants to be able to do.  BUT at the same time, they are all I have.  When they leave, my side of the family is literally ALL on the other side of the planet.  And that can be hard to handle sometimes. Yes I have great in-laws and friends who are practically my family BUT no one can replace my mama! haha.  My parents original plan was to retire, sell their home in Fontana and move to Ireland.  That made me sad. Like really sad.  I didn’t want them selling my home house for many reasons, one being that its the last place I lived as a Gallagher and when my brother was alive. So many memories in that tiny house that can NEVER be replicated.  So THANKFULLY my parents plans changed…they kept their Fontana house, and built their Ireland house….and have decided to live some time there and some time there.  Yay!

They go to Ireland anywhere from 5-10 weeks at a time…then come back home to us.  Last trip was a 10 weeker…and it was rough.  Thankfully we have technology that allows us to talk everyday BUT its not the same.  I’m appreciative they didn’t up and move away for good though…so I’ll take what I can get!

When my parents are away they miss holidays and events…but are always so great at making it up to us when they come home.  Mom missed Mother’s Day this year, so we HAD to have a girls day to make-up for it. heehee. Any excuse to get to spend some time together!

We headed to Glen Ivy for the day.  We invited some of our besties and had a wonderful girls day together.  My mom is pretty amazing…it more ways than I can count.  As I get older and older, all I ever think about is that I pray I can be my mom when I grow up! Seriously!

 

   

They drank yummy bellini’s…and I drank virgin yummy bellini’s.  We relaxed in the 1000 degree weather. Played in the  mud bath thingy. And Mom insisted I get a prenatal massage.  I told her no BUT then she said “well this is your last chance to EVER get one…you should experience it before its too late!”  Weeelllll when she put it like THAT…holy cow this IS my last pregnancy…and I only have a few months left to enjoy it…SO the massage was got. It was nice…I’ve only had like 3 massages in my whole life…but it felt good yet kinda weird to be nakey some a stranger rubbing on me. haha 

I loved our belated Mother’s Day together.  Thank you Mom for treating me so special.
