Happy Mother's Day

When Thayne asked me at the beginning of the week what I wanted for Mother's Day, I just kinda rolled my eyes and said nothing because it is not a birthday. I don't believe Mother's Day is a day to go out and buy huge honkin presents. I think showing kind gestures and small tokens of appreciation are great. So when Thayne laughed and asked me again I said "all I want is peace and quiet". To which Thayne said "do we have to give you both". Sometimes he just thinks he is to funny.

My mother's day was great with alot of peace and quiet. It started on Friday when Thayne and the boys left for Father/sons. Not 2 minutes after they left 2 dozen roses showed up at my door from Thayne. Not necessary but you gotta love it when you don't expect it. Now one of my kids and I am not going to say who (tj) broke my Kitchen Aid mixer a month ago and knowing I needed a new one, the kids and Thayne bought me a new one for mother's day. I can now go back to making cookies the easy way. Real mom's don't slave over that stuff anymore, at least this one doesn't. I also talked to my mom on the phone today which was nice because it has been awhile. We also made a quick stop off at Thaynes parents and had some of the yummiest homemade caramel popcorn which is always a treat. We then dropped Thayne off at the airport, he is headed back to San Jose until tomorrow when he gets in his truck and drives back home. On the drive home from the airport TJ was talking to me about all his plans for the near future and they are actually starting to sound promising. I love that most of it included him paying for everything himself. As we walked in the door he says, "wow mom I can't believe I am growing up". What a fun thing to hear at the end of my Mother's Day.

My kids are growing up and I can only hope
that I have taught them well, or at least well
enough that they will survive on their own.
