So another Mother's Day came and went, and for good or for bad, here were my thoughts (pretty much in order):
* I love being a mom.
* I'm so lucky to have such great kids.
* That was so nice of The Mr. to arrange for the kids to come and
make brunch for all of us.
* Brunch was actually pretty tasty.
* Wow! The Mother's Day gifts were pretty cool.
* No more tissue paper and pipe cleaner flowers. The kids have
definitely grown up.
* I love my mom.
* I miss my mom.
* My mom wasn't perfect, but she was the best mom I could ask
for.
* I wish I could be a better mom.
* Are the church speakers telling the truth? Are their moms really
that perfect?
* I really need to be a better mom.
* I sure hope the Mother's Day gift from the church is chocolate.
My flowers always die.
* Okay, that was rude. I shouldn't even expect a gift from the
church.
* But I sure hope it's chocolate!
* I really need to be a better mom.
* I really need to stop obsessing about chocolate.
* Yes!!! A three-pack of Lindts by Lindor. My favorite.
* I suppose it would be polite to offer one to The. Mr.
* I hope this is one of his "healthy-eating" days and he turns me
down.
* Bummer. He wants one.
* Okay, I need to be a better mother AND a better wife.
All in all a really great day. And this card from my animal-loving granddaughter was the perfect ending. (I'm pretty sure it even beat out the chocolate.)
