What Does Obama Have In Common With Mother's Everywhere?
Thank goodness Twinkies have an unlimited shelf life, because DAMN I'm old! I still remember when my teenagers would give me homemade cards for mothers day with a flower drawn on the front, and a cute poem inside.
This year however, my Teen Twinkie bought me THIS card. Which I think is soooo dead-on it made me laugh.
"stopping fights, handing out money and dealing with everyone else's problems."
He signed it, "I love you mucho"
mucho=lots in Spanish
I don't know how the hell time went by so fast. All I know is I am so blessed to have such great kids who love their momma. I see people around me who have issues with their parents, or with their own teenagers and I just think, "WOW! How sad." it breaks my heart because that's not the way it's supposed to be.
You're supposed to love one another. You're supposed to be there for each other no matter what. When one person pulls away you pull them back towards you.
Unfortunately that's not always the case. And to live with all that anger and hate? Well, I shudder at the thought.
Princess Twinkie bought me Starbucks and some roses. Annequin bought me a coffee mug that says, "I Love You Mom" and it's got butterflies on it which is VERY key! Because he KNOWS I love butterflies. That special touch makes even more special!
Big Mickey made me a drawing, which of course will go in a picture frame and I'll put it up next mothers day. I have a whole box of "Mother's Day" art that I pull out every year.
Anyways, the BEST mother's day present I get year after year? Is the fact that my kids love me. Anything else? Is cake!
Hope you all had a great mothers day! :)
