Well this morning I was greeted with a beautiful daisy plant, dark chocolate m&m's, and a card from husband. Nice
easy child ran in & grabbed a quick shower, gave me a big hug & "Happy Mothers' Day" on his way back out the door, and difficult child called me from the road to wish me Happy Day.
Mothers' Day is hard for me because I miss my own mom. This year is double-tough because it marks the 1 year anniversary of the loss of our beloved black lab Shadow.
I wll bring rose petals out to the cabin to honor my mother this afternoon. I will play with our new yellow lab puppy Mahli.
Right now we're sitting here relaxing with afternoon coffee while we jam Jethro Tull on The 101 (Direct TV)
Last night I celebrated with difficult child at his band's debut, a show with 4 other bands at the VFW an hour's drive from home. "Faded Descent" plays nasty melt-your-face-off heavy metal, but what the heck. I found myself involuntarily banging my head, and spontaneously screaming (yes, in fright!) Here is a few snippets of conversation I enjoyed during the breaks in between bands:
One young man made a strange noise after the song was done, and when I turned around he told me, "I can make the best cow noises" and I replied, "Well, that's a good talent to have." Another young man, after difficult child introduced me as his mother, said, "This is your mom?!" "Yep." The young man said, "Hmmmmm.....Wow." I took that as a compliment.....
Peace
