Well mom, wherever you are, I hope you are happily enjoying this day. You had a rough life raising your two kids and it's not like we did much to make it easy on you. Thanks for being there when we needed you and yelling at us when we needed it. Give Dad my love. I miss you both.
I had a beautiful mother's day today. I went out with Honey's mom, his sister couldn't come due to feeling ill, so we missed her during our outing, but we still had a good time. I bought a new plant, orange peonies, they are so pretty and catnip seeds. I got a beaded bracelet kit to make a bracelet for myself (which is turning out to be a lot more work than I thought it would, props to master beaders out there). All in all it was a great day. We walked through a rose garden (professionally grown roses, all different kinds and hybrids) and opted to have lunch at McDonald's instead of waiting in line with a ton of people for a regular restaurant.
I came home to a clean kitchen and living room, which is exactly what I wanted and ask for every year (birthday, mother's day and christmas) and for the first time, have gotten. I guess the Little Lady asked her friends at school what their mom's wanted and it just so happened they all said the same thing: a clean house!
So I got what I wanted and I hope all the moms out there that take the time to stop by and check in on me got what they wanted as well. Happy Mother's Day, on this oh so beautifully created Hallmark day, but in reality, every day is mother's day! We are mom's every day of the year and we work hard at raising our children to be respectable and knowledgeable about the world around them. It's more important to raise them properly than to have a huge house and expensive cars. It's the most important job in the world and the hardest because kids come up with new ways to cause trouble, forget to use the common sense we teach them to use and get bombarded with materialistic views of life each and every day that parents have to contend with.
So for those of you mom's out there who do take the time, thanks for raising your kids to be respectable and a prospective member of society. Have a beautiful day.
