Mother's Day
Sunday was Mother's Day. It was a fabulous day. Jeff and the kids let me sleep in. Even when I'd woken up, I knew I was not allowed to come out of bed until they said. Their tradition is to bring me breakfast in bed. It was so cute and delicious. They always bring it on the tray. This year there was a cute note and some flowers from the vase-ful Jeff had given me earlier in the week. They brought a delicious fruit bowl, eggs and hashbrowns and a warm cinnamon roll. I enjoyed every bite. The kids were so cute, waiting on my every need. Asking if I need more of this, or can I take your plate? or refilling my water. They get so excited to do it each year. And of course, Jeff heads the whole operation up, cooking, cleaning, etc.
The kids each gave me cute notes and cards. Isaac filled out an information sheet on me and said I was 57 years old and I look pretties when I'm going to Disneyland. (Guess what, we haven't gone to Disneyland since he was 9 months old so what does that tell you?) :) Still, I loved it. Kate wrote and illustrated a storybook about me. Kira wrote a sweet note and Calvin gave me a coupon book and a marigold start. I love my kids. They are the best! I am so grateful they are mine and I get to be their mother. I hope they have good memories of their growing up.
I know I have good memories of my Mom growing up. She was so dedicated. She would do anything and everything for us, and she did! I love my Mom so much. I wish she lived closer so I could see her more often. Take her to lunch. Pop over for a visit. Have Sunday dinners togerther. That would be so fun. But I do get to talk to her often on the phone and she flies over a few times a year. I'm really looking forward to some fun summer visits this year. Thank you Mom for everything you do for me and my family. You are always so kind and thoughtful, remembering every birthday and special occasion. Knowing what and when the kids are doing things. Checking in on me to see how I'm doing. You are an amazing mother and such a good example and inspiration to me. I love you so much!!!
