Are We There Yet?

The Day After

So it's the day after Mother's Day. I can't button my jeans because I ate ALL the chocolate my boys gave me. The theory being just get it over with and don't eat the rest of the week.
I'm still wiping down cupboards. My 18-year-old baked me a cake when I was out of town with the rest of the family (he had to work). Apparently, the mixer got away from him.
I can barely walk through the house because I wasn't allowed to pick up a thing all weekend. And, well, no one else seems to notice things like mens size 13 SHOES in the MIDDLE of the floor.
I wish they knew that the very best thing about Mother's Day is the fact that I feel so fortunate to be a mom.
How 'bout the rest of you? Does your day of pampering add up to a week's worth of cleaning?
