It's been a very nice Mothers Day for me.
To start it off my mom came over and cooked me a breakfast casserole and we sat around and talked and watched old episodes of Soap.
Do you remember Soap? It was a dramody series that aired in the latter 1970s and was a parody of soap operas... very racy for its time... very tame for today's time.
Anyway, it was a nice morning. After mom left, I got started on my goals of grocery shopping, feeding dogs at Dale's place, and doing laundry. Oh and I also laid out for a little bit to try to get some color other than blinding white.
Later, after Jessica came home from her friend's house, she gave me the best gift of all.... a pair of the largest and most beautiful fake diamond earrings I have EVER seen (I'm wearing them right now) and a card with such a nice message it made me cry.
It's not the greatest gift because of what I received, rather given the amount of time we argue and stay mad at each other, it was a beautiful surprise!
For every one out there who is a mom, I tell you Happy Mother's Day. And for every one out there who is not a mom, I tell you call your MOM if you can.
THIS JUST IN......
Jessica just shoved her shoes in my face and explained that she stepped in "poop" and she didn't know where to put them.
After seeing those very shoes on top of the washing machine this morning and hurling them into her room (which is a total pig sty and I am not kidding), I suggested she put them in her room... and the next time she wore them the residue would wear off. I mean I didn't see anything.
So she proceeded to walk two or three steps over to the dining room and drop them right next to her tennis shoes.
Me: (Glaring and just noticing the tennis shoes) I didn't mean to drop them there.
Jessica: Well I'm not putting them in MY room.
Happy Mother's Day.
