Mothers Day...Today?

Today was Mother's Day...And yes I know its next Sunday :P

this will be the third year I miss Mother's Day and it always eats me alive that I miss it. I have a wonderful mother who deserves to have all 3 of her children there on this special day and I miss it. I do my best to make it up to her. As much as I know that gifts aren't everything and just letting her know that I love her would probably be enough. I knew that things had been and in a sense still are stressful- so I wanted to make sure she truly knew how much I appreciate her and what her sacrifices mean to me. I'd be a horrible daughter if I wasn't willing to sacrifice a little to treat my mom extra special.

I had been contemplating what to do- so when mom picked Joleesa up for work I asked if she'd drop me off at the bank before heading back to work (bank to Dunn County News is maybe a mile- didn't kill me to walk)

Mom thought I was just going to get my checks cashed and my money out for my trip and then go to the book store and then come to her office until she was ready to go home. Which I did but I made a couple stops after the bank....So I went to the bank and did all of that, then stopped at Menomonie Floral to get mom some lilies-mom always gets roses so I wanted something different. Well the cranky lady said lilies have to be preordered...Someone needs to give her some sunshine pills. Anyway so Im like I know they have roses- so I asked for 1 white, 1 peach, and 1 deep red ( 3 roses- 1 for each mothers day I missed). So I placed the order and she said she'd have it done in about 15 minutes.

Ok so I kill time by walking a couple blocks to the Bible book store. I needed to get a card for mom and a book to read on the plane. I picked out my book and found this awesome shirt (bright yellow with one of those cool sayings which I'll put it at the end of the post) I'm about to walk out the door and realize I forgot about the card. The cute couple that own the place apologized for distracting me but it was all good its not to hard for me to get distracted in a book store.

OK in an attempt to shorten this already long story- I go back to pick up the flowers- and she puts before me 1 white 1 dark red and 1 pink- I look again yes that's majorly pink no where near peach debating wither to say something and decided that the cranky lady scared me to much. So then I head to the Dunn County News and on the way I get odd stares and a few whistles *rolls eyes but grins*

finally got to the DCN and gave mom the flowers (flower card said Today's Mother's for you and me- Dinners on me you chose the place) and card. We decided we weren't hungry yet so we went to Walmart and I got the last of my stuff for BTI (have to go back for got 2 things grrr) and then headed to Applebees to eat- forget that the place was packed- then to the Green Mill just as packed...So we decided to go to El Patio over by our house its never packed...Ha that's a joke 25 minute wait for 2 ppl...We ended up at the Kernal and I think I had the best food ever and I think mom would agree.

I had to go back to the DCN less then 2 hrs later in order to clean and then we had us a family midnight run to Perkins- fun stuff...

that was my day so Happy Mother's day mom ;)
