So my mothers day was disappointing.My baby boy woke me up with breakfast in bed,Which was really nice.He said happy mothers day.But he didn't make me a card.Daughters
did not wish me a happy mothers day till late afternoon.Then mt daughter text me and says they had some leftover flowers fro church I got for you,I said great.She comes home at 11:00 pm and I say wheres the flowers? She says oh I forgot them at friends house,really?Other daughter says before going to bed oh I plan on getting you something but I don't want to tell you what.Yep ,I'm still waiting on my Christmas present.What I really wanted was some house cleaning as a present.I hear someone on the phone ask my husband what he got me and I hear him say why would I buy her something? she's not my mom.Then Hubby goes to lowe's and buys 60.00 worth of plants after I mention someone locally has tons of four different flowers if we dig them up.Hubby says I don't want to go dig them up.Of course ultimately have my self to blame. They are just too self absorbed.They all volunteer and go mission trips. I think they just take me for granted---stupid teenagers.

Teenagers can be bratty & self-absorbed (I was) but once they hit their mid-twenties they change & Mother's Day should be good for you then, because they then really appreciate their Moms. Keep your chin up, things will get better.

So Sunday was a very teary day. I pulled it together enough to go to my parents home and spend part of the time with my 82yr old mother. I made sure she had a card and presents.
I guess next year, I either need to lower my expectations significantly or make the celebration myself.
Thank you for letting me vent.

This year we invited friends to bring their kids and join us for a casual dinner. Their family had enjoyed the day at the park and it's Thomas the Train' program. It's very 'hands on,' the children get to ride the trains around the very large park twice included in admission. It was so much fun listening to the kids recounting nearly every minute of their day on trains, inspecting the trains, what they saw on the train, what the different trains represented, the story-line of the trains, watching the trains pass at different places at the park and how other children reacted to the train events..
Their dad helped me with the last of cooking and plating and showed off his skills at carving a watermelon into interesting shapes that we all enjoyed for dessert.

Generally speaking, allowing your happiness to be determined by the actions of others is setting yourself up.
Make TODAY a great one Reney!
