Well, I can say that I am loved.  In my first years as a mother, Mother's Day always came and went with a carnation from church but that was really all there was.  We may have done a Mother/Daughter get-together with my Mom but that was it.  The last few years, the kids have decided to do things on their own.
This year, I came home on Friday to an immaculate house.  My husband had spent the day cleaning.  Saturday my two teen boys were away at district Track meet and my youngest got up before 6:00am to go to a fishing derby.  So, my husband and I went to the town south of us and enjoyed garage sales and looking at the calm ocean.  I came up with ideas for a sketch/drawing series--Port Life.  I'll see if it ever gets started.  When I came home, we had  a bit of time before a Mother/daughter tea at church with my mom and my daughter.  We had fun and enjoyed finding out what five items from the local market could be purchased for $10 without going over and what all we had in our purses.  Then it was off to my work where my daughter played the piano for a Mother's Day tea.  We got to take the Miata and it was warm enough that on the way home, we put the top down!  Then it was out to the ocean again for the evening with the youngest, and finish off the evening with a movie with my husband.  
Today,  we went to church and my second son brought me my carnation first thing when we arrived.  Then my daughter and I sang special music:  Laura Story Blessing.  My kids gave me handmade art projects, a walnut knick-knack shelf, an acrylic bluebells picture, and a pillow. After church, my husband suggested doing something unwise financially, but fun for the family.  We went and saw Avengers 3-D.  It was fun!  The kids loved it and so did we.
Now to head back to the real world of teaching tomorrow.  Although it should be fun, because the one class has written and is performing their version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in Spanish.  So, they're working hard on that this week.
Hope you all gave your own Mom's a hug or something special.
