Good Mother’s Day Memories
I hope all the moms had a lovely Mother’s Day! Mine was very nice. I had the school-made gifts from both my boys–a painted tile to use as a coaster from the younger and a iron-bead magnet creation from the older. The older also wrote a poem and the younger a letter. I’m including it in its entirety here:
Dear Mom, you are the best Mom I’ve ever had and you will allways be my faverot mom forever! I never want you to die or else all cry. I allways want you with me. If you are not with me I would be crying and I would be very very sad and mad. I would be nothing without you.
On the back is a picture of me singing, “Sunshine, sunshine” while a lizard snaps a fly off my leg with his tongue. Love it.
I got my store-bought present right before church. It was presented to me in a red Foley’s box, which makes me think I need to clean out my gifting supplies as we’ve not had a Foley’s in these parts in probably five years. Inside was a pink polka-dot shortie bathrobe, two Target gift cards (one each from my boys), and a pretty little wrapped package from Lavish, an Aveda spa near my house. Unwrapping produced a gift card and the prettily typed information that it was good for a manicure, pedicure, and a Brazilian. My eyes practically bugged out of my head, because there was no way–NO WAY–that I would be cashing that last part in. And besides, what sort of Mother’s Day gift is that? I glance up at my husband (likely panic in my eyes), and he’s giggling delightedly. Apparently he typed the info onto the Lavish card just to freak me out.
Loveable dork.

well see…at least you knew what a brazilian was. i asked for one once because i’d heard people reference them without actually knowing what it was…pain. mind-numbing pain.
