Mother's Day 2005
Mood:  special
It's still early in the day that is set aside once a year to honor all mothers. I have had many a disappointing celebration,if you care to use the word "celebration". I also had some of the best moments,today being one.

As much as I daydream of the "perfect" day,I'm just greatful that my children make the effort.My youngest son Josh printed up an online card he made himself and gave me that this morning.My middle daughter who she and I always seem to clash,since we are both head strong and opinionated,got me the perfect card,that fit our relationship and a photo frame with all six of my kids pictured in it.

Still waiting on the rest of them to show up,my middle son gave me a huge hug,which for any parent of a 15 year old boy,knows that's just something they generally don't do....My best friend Jay is taking me out to lunch, and I plan on taking my Eleanor out for dinner later...a Mother's Day treat for us both.

I am sitting here thinking about what would be the best thing they could do for me,which I did just happen to mention to them,but sitting here thinking...yup...it would be the best...if they clean the house and kept it that way,that would indeed be the perfect Mother's Day gift! Sarah has made the attempt,so that's one...3 more to go. Now that would be perfect,but I better not get to lofty in my thoughts,reality bites and I hate to have to be bitter with disappointment when so far,my day is going great!
