Today is Mother's day. Yesterday Kaylee let us sleep in till 8am. Today she was up at 6am, I'll take that over 5am, but I think she thought yesterday was mother's day. So I'm getting Kaylee changed and dressed around 6:20, when it became apparent she wasn't going back to bed. Julie walks through Kaylee's room and asked me if I was going back to bed. I told her I wasn't, but I would stay upstairs for a little bit. It's a Mother's day tradition that I get breakfast in bed, so after Kaylee was dressed I went in and sat on the bed. This is something they love doing, so I figured even though I was up I wouldn't rob them of being able to give me breakfast in bed. Of course as soon as they brought it up Kaylee put her hand in the cereal. She's recently discovered feeding herself, and decided my cereal looked good. Tyler gave me a beautiful drawing with different cars on it, and Julie gave me a flower pot she decorated at school. Jon offered to take them shopping yesterday, but neither kid said they needed to go. I guess they were satisfied with what they had made me. Which is just fine by me :).
I sent my Mom her stuff this week Thursday. It was waiting for her in the mail on Saturday, but with life being busy she didn't have time to get the mail Saturday. She will get her Mother's day stuff from me Monday. I feel for her and my Aunt today. This is their first Mother's day without their Mom. I can't even imagine what they must be feeling today, other then empty. Although it is a joy to be a Mom, the person that has taught you to be a Mom, your Mom is just as important. So as I enjoy my time with my kids today, I think of my Mom and Aunt, and hope they find peace on this day. She smiles down from heaven I'm sure, full of love and pride at her beautiful girls. Hey I bet breakfast with the angels is better then breakfast in bed ;). I love you Mom, Aunt Shelley and Grandma!
Also a few other Mom's I can't forget to mention. My Grandma Lambert, my MIL Michelle, my Grandmother In Law Bev, I hope you wonderful ladies enjoy your wonderful day.
