My Best Mother's Day Ever

Tweet

Okay, you can dial it way down from what you might be thinking. I've come a long way to get this far. In days gone by, I would sit alone at home without even a phone call from my kids, no cards, no anything and I would have a pity party and end up in mild depression because my kids didn't even think to call or come over. Last year I made a little change in that idea. I went to my daughter's with a small gift in hand, pictures I had of her kids when they were little, and a four generation picture that had her in it as a baby. So this year my daughter called me on Saturday. I had planned on calling her to wish her a Happy Mother's Day yesterday, which I still did. However, on Saturday, she texted me - I don't do texts - and wanted to know if I have a sewing machine. I texted back with my flip phone and the old way of texting - finding the letters - and texted back 'Yes.' She texted again. I called. She wanted to know if I would teach her to sew. I told her yes. I need to find the instruction book for the sewing machine - it was Mom's and I haven't used it yet and all machines are different. She's going to be upholstering the deck cushions for their boat, and making new cushions for the patio furniture chairs. So I'm very happy. I'll be teaching my daughter to sew. . Yesterday, started out a bit disappointing. My oldest said he would go to church with me. He didn't. However, he did call and apologize. He wasn't feeling good, and sounded it too. He did call back later to wish me Happy Mother's Day when he realized he didn't say anything on the first call. My youngest son also came over before going to work and visited for about half an hour, wishing me a Happy Mother's Day, and I called my daughter after I got home from church to wish her a Happy Mother's Day. They had just put the boat in the water and were getting it cleaned up. She asked/invited me to come out on the boat if they took it out, which she doubted since they had just gotten it in the water and there was a lot of cleaning to do before they took it out. They didn't go out, but just the fact they invited me, was a blessing and made me very happy. That was my best Mother's Day ever and the first time I didn't have a pity party by myself feeling sorry for myself because my kids didn't call or come over. I hope you had a good Mother's Day yesterday. Thanks for reading.
