Show me the Mommy! awesome friends edition

Last week two packages arrived on my doorstep right after Jon left.

Janna sent me a Starbucks gift card (love), a book (love), and some Justin Beiber stickers (I like one song of his, I swear!).

Maria sent me a scarf (because I was complaining my neck gets cold in winter with short hair, love), tons of chocolate (love), and ring pops for the kids (which I will give them 15 minutes before Jon walks in the door and I hand them over).


Gifts


Such simple gifts that meant so very much to me. Thank you and YUM.

While this time away from Jon hasn't really been *bad*, I can absolutely say that what I've always said about Jon is true - he grounds me, keeps me from being crazy, and is the perfect partner for me. These last few days without phone or internet access to him have been the toughest on me and the boys. We are all on edge to see him tomorrow.

Also we've been saving those boxes of girl scout cookies for two weeks and we're dying to rip into them. Hurry home!

Awesome! I love getting goodies in the mail from friends and family too! I'm glad Jon will be home soon. I know exactly how you feel about him being gone. I was the same way without Matthew last summer for a week. We're just better together!

Congrats. You made it. And I love the thoughtful gifts. So sweet!

I can go it alone with the kids when I have to, but it does make you realize what awesome partners and dads our hubbys really are. Cheers to that!

I say this so often but I don't know how single people do it!!!!

Also, your b**bs look awesome in that top :) I couldn't help noticing!

Saving girl scout cookies for two weeks? Now that is LOVE!

And would it be inappropriate to mention how busty (in a good way) you look in that top? Vavoom!

Inappropriate reminds of last Tuesday's Tosh. Best episode of the season so far IMO.

Having girlfriends is one of the best gifts of life. Or guy friends for that matter! (Even though even my best guy friends might not think to send chocolates!) Congratulations on being so awesome that you attract other really awesome women. That says as much about you as it does about them.
