MINE

Happy Mother's Day to you my sister and to our mom (I know she's reading).  I indeed had a grand day.  Even though it was quite ordinary.  We did nothing special ... by design.

Everything ordinary was grand.

Kate greeted me in the morning with her homemade gift.  She gave me her ever famous "hairy eyeball" as I opened her card and gift and examined it.

Matthew accompanied me while I jogged 3 miles.  He biked alongside.  As I'm running he says "Mom, you are looking better already."  (meaning skinnier)  I say "Really?"  He says "No, but it's Mother's Day and I didn't want to upset you.  You still look chubby."

Jack, now a tween, went about his day.  He claims to have encouraged his 6th grade teacher to allow them to make gifts for the moms but it didn't fly.  It's the thought that counts of course.

Mike was turning in for the night around 10:30 and I was watching Brothers & Sisters.  He turns to me and says with a sleepy voice "You're a good mom."  I say "No I'm not."  He says "Yes you are.  You're a really good mom."
