Last year was a bit
of a mess ( a lot !!! ) on Mother's Day and I
wrote about it on my blog . I had my mom up at cottage and in the morning the
kids were just really not attentive to the specialness of the occasion and very
dismissive . It was extremely rude and hurtful as my
mom and I always put so much emphasis on their special occasions .My mom and I
were insulted and walked out of the house angry and went out for breakfast the two of
us ! We came back to a big apology sign on the door and many tears - but it
upset us a lot . And those kids learned a lesson I assure you !!!!
This Mother's Day was
the complete opposite . Like by far the nicest one I ever had .
Beautiful cards from
each that took time to make and attention with beautiful heartfelt messages .
Each kid gave me a wonderful gift that was so carefully chosen and Beauty made
me a playlist too and wrote out all the songs by hand for my moods of the day .
Was so extremely sweet !
And then my card from
hubby had a bike on it and told me to go to garage and he bought me an electric
bike ! I am thrilled as the plan this season
is to do some major kayaking and biking but my issue is biking up hills so
always makes me say no to the trails . This way I can use as a normal excercise
bike most the time but with the hills use there motor . I am super excited and
had asked for this but didn't think I would get it and so happy I did !
And a beautiful book
of all the things they love about me that the three kids filled in . I bought
that one for myself . Reading the things they said though was extremely fun . I
gave the same book to my mom . Made us both feel good to be celebrated like
that and love for us articulated . Made it feel all worth it
We went for a walk at
the lake my mom and I while the rest cooked us dinner . Delicious and such a
long and relaxing evening too . Love those kind of slow and relaxed nights .
And this weekend went
with hubby two of us for a short overnight at cottage . Stopped for lunch ,
shopped for shoes, watched a great movie , had a quiet dinner , walked in the
rain with lunch out again and read . Romantic and fun and just what we needed
after weeks of not being at our fave part of the world : TRENT . It rained all
weekend but I truly could not care less - weather does not matter anymore as
long as I am at that cottage !
Was a perfect
Mother's Day and so happy our kids learnt to underline the occasion in that
special way . I even got texts from their friends and girlffiend and boyfriend
. It was really really special .
Happy Mother's Day to
all the moms in the world . Those with kids , those who nurture other people's
kids , those who are moms to be , Daughters of moms and everyone else who has
mom qualities
