I am feeling sulky at this moment, and just have to put this out and I know it will pass. I will even giggle at myself later on. I can do this, and actually DO often! I got my sweet little school made gift from Aidan for Mother's day today. Here is what he wrote in the card....
Dear Mom, I will love you forever and forever. You will be the most wonderful mother. You mean everything to me. Happy Mother's Day. Love Aidan.
heheheee... I am wondering what he meant by "will be"? but it made me smile nonetheless! It was a delicate red tissue paper rose that accompanied the card.
Josh was out to Gramma's for the day, doing her yardwork, so I did not get to see him much today. Mike was working a hockey tournament and gone the early part of the day. It was me and the babes! We just set out to the mall to return Aidan's tuxedo from yesterday's wedding and we ran into Mike. He was trying to pick out a bouquet of flowers to bring home to me. I was stunned, this is not really like him. But he said it was for my Mother's Day and gave me a sweet kiss out on the street. It felt so nice that he thought of surprising me!!! He offered to take the boys and let me run over to the mall on my own... which was great. Then I open my dumb mouth! I tell Mike... do not get me flowers, do not waste your money... go to the grocery store and get some food instead... that is what we really need! We debated this a little and when I insisted, that is exactly what he did.......
Oh, sure, listen to me NOW, when I am being the queen of martyrdom in all her glorious practicality!!!!!!!! Way to be!
Mike did what I told him to do and I love him for it.... My lone paper rose sits on my desk to remind me...lol. I am left to try and imagine what kind of flowers he would have bought me now!!! I might never get flowers again and I will now know why! I never let him spoil me, and when he doesn't I feel sad about it. I am a confused girl... The sentiment is going to be with me for such a long time.... like I said, I just needed my little rant.
Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!
Oh ya, see what other gifts I have got.....
I am so lucky for these gems!

Laurel, this one made me tear up! I know how touched you must have been to find Mike picking out flowers for you!You know what, I told Troy years ago not to waste money on flowers too but every now and then I too wonder why I set that trend! But it is the thought that makes the difference, our own practicality and thrifty sense
( thanks alot Mom!)makes us think that it is a waste. Troy and my gifts to eachother is often time spent together. You may never get flower's again, I haven't yet, but knowing that he wants to buy them for YOU is what matters most!!!
BTW, I HAVE gotten flower's from Troy, the day he surprised me at church and we re-married, the bouquet he gave me to hold was the most precious bunch of flower's I had ever received. I have a feeling that you'll get one of those too someday!!
