I woke up early this morning to the sound of Ryan rustling around in his closet. I asked what he was doing, naturally. When he’s up before 7am on a Saturday, it must be serious.
But, I was instructed to go back to sleep. So I did. I don’t argue with sleep these days. Until something crashed down on the floor in the kitchen. So I asked again what he was doing.
And again I was instructed to go back to sleep.
The next time I woke up, it was to find a plate full of food, a card and this:
(Pay no attention to the spot where the cat tried to eat the pretty flower. He’s a jerk)
Ryan works on Sundays, so he conjured up an early Mother’s Day complete with breakfast and a PIG.
I harass Ryan at least a few times a week about getting a pig. I tell him how much Dewey would love having a pig. I tell him how cute we’d all look walking around the neighborhood. I give him my sweetest “you can’t deny my desires” smile.
But it never, ever works.
He always gently reminds me we don’t have room for a pig. He brings me back to the reality that we already have five cats and a dog. A pig would be insanity. And he’s right. I know it. But…pigs!
He’s not an unfeeling man though. Because he found a way to get me a pig. If I’d needed proof that I picked a good man to have a family with, I think this would be it.
Oh, and he did the dishes. And took me to the movies. To see The Avengers. In 3D!
(I looked awesome in those glasses, by the way)
I even made it through the entire movie without a bathroom break.
It was a pretty great first Mother’s Day.

Happy Mother’s day. The first one is really special, especially because the clothes you wear are not yet covered in spitup, unless its your own.
What a fabulous Mother’s day! You’re one lucky girl to have such a fantastic fella. Glad you had fun & I for one, don’t doubt you looked awesome in those 3-D glasses haha.
Awwwwwww, I love the pig! Glad you had a great day.
Happy first Mothers Day! Sounds like you hooked a good one 😉
Now let me give you some instruction to get around this “no pigs” rule. Just get a pug. They as basically furry pigs. Mine evens snorts/oinks. Curly tail? Check. Garbage-disposal-like tendencies? Check. Good around kids? Infinity check.
Happy first mother’s day! So very exciting! And excited for you!!
What a good hubby!!!! I love pigs too. I collect little figurines and the like… Mostly on accident. I showed pigs in 4-H and FFA, so everyone assumed I liked them and gave them to me. So I developed a love I guess. haha! Happy Mother’s Day girl!
What a sweet thing for your husband to do! So glad you had a Happy First Mother’s Day!

Hi Trish,
I saw you on SITS. How exciting that this was your first Mother’s Day! Here’s to many more breakfasts in bed!
Happy first Mother’s Day C: They are VERY much fun. Happy SITS day.
Aww, happy (much belated) first Mother’s day to you! It most definitely sounds like you found yourself a great guy! I have always loved pigs too, and think it would be pretty cool to have one as a pet – at least it wouldn’t shed incessantly like our lab does! Happy SITS day to you!!
A good Mother’s Day indeed. Hope it is the first of many many many. Your Ryan sounds like one of the really good ones! Congratulations to you both on your baby.
how sweet!!! 🙂 hope it was a great day! i am very impressed that you didn’t need a bathroom break during a movie! when i was pregnant, every single day and trimester i was going around every hour!
