[QUOTE="SRL, post: 154167, member: 701"] M, I'm still chuckling over the purple bath bomb. I can just see a child proudly presenting that to mom with a "Now you can take a nice relaxing bath...". I have to admit that I was a nicer mother since taking the No Cooking On Mother's Day stance. I went out to Kroger and grabbed a Starbucks, then picked up my fruit and veggie trays and stuffed them into the fridge. At breakfast one of the kids asked me "What do you want to do for Mother's Day?" and then quickly answered himself "Oh, that's right, you don't have any choice." True, true.. Chatted with my mom and then went to what I'm sure was thought of up as punishment: the parent-teen class at church designed to help us understand the other side better (we decided we'd likely bond better over dodge ball than the discussion questions). When we got home my kids did my gifts: an assortment of homemade cards, poems, and stories. My oldest wrote me some abbreviated classics (War & Peace--Once there was a mother and a teenager. Sometimes there was war. Sometimes there was peace.) He also painted an orc miniature in pinks and reds, standing in the midst of flowers and holding a spear tipped with a heart like Cupid. (Young moms take note, this is what you get when you read Lord of the Rings to your sons). I asked for tickets to go see Prince Caspian and we'll go do that together on Saturday. It was a pretty quiet dinner at my in-laws. No one said a word about the storebought stuff and in fact, the kids downed a bunch of it. Thanks for commiserating with me and sharing your stories. You moms rock! [/QUOTE]
