The One on Mother's Day
Current Mood: Irritated 
Current Music: Jason Mraz Tonight, Not Again: Jason Mraz Live at the Eagles Ballroom
So, how's your day going? Are you giving your mother a GREAT Mother's Day?
Did you go out to eat? 'Cuz I didn't. Did you give her a present with the rest of your family in a big present opening CELEBRATION!!!!!! 'Cuz I didn't.
Let me tell you about MY mother's Mother's Day. I woke up at 10:30 this morning because we were going to go out to lunch after churches were out (my parents go to different churches, so I have to use the plural), to hear that we were planning to meet at the restaraunt at 11:30...plenty of time since it's only 15 minutes away. However, when I got out of the shower and got dressed, the house was completely empty. Well, except for Bear. He stayed to keep me company.
It was only 11:00. They left 30 minutes early for a restaraunt 15 minutes away. What, were they afraid to miss the previews? Eye-rolling irritating, but nothing more. But it gets better.
On Friday, my mother and I switched cars so that she could use my truck to get flowers for the back yard. I got in last night and immediately left to see Spiderman 3, so we haven't switched keys back yet. Well, to get to the restaraunt, my sister and my mother used her spare key and took her car.
And they took my keys with them. So, I, of course, scoured the house to see if maybe she had left my keys on the counter somewhere to no avail. BUT, in the living room, I DID find the remains of bags and wrapping paper. Yup, my gifts don't count as REAL gifts to be included in the gift opening. So sad...
So.....I, being the incredibly mature individual that I am, unwrapped the two books I got for my mother and dumped them at her place at the dining room table. I also called and left a *nice* voicemail wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day and to let me know if anybody wants a son sometime in the future.
Okay, I didn't really say that, but I thought it sounded good as I was typing it.
The worst part is, I am not even mad about it! I had to force myself to get mad when I left the voicemail. *sigh* I'm used to this kind of stuff. Oh well. I hope that your Mother's Day is SPECTACULAR!
Mine's about to get interesting, as soon as the "non-step" family checks their voicemail.....

They're on their way to pick me up. And my mother thinks she knows where my keys are. Thinks. Wonderful.

Oh ye of little faith. I did know exactly where your keys are and you have the spare set to my car still -- I kept my own set because I'm smart that way. I love you and I love the books, though it would have been fun to unwrap them myself with you standing there waiting for me to do that like everyone else did one at a time this morning....
