[QUOTE="SRL, post: 43860, member: 701"] Congratulations to all for surviving another year! Your difficult child's are very creative in their expressions of mother honoring. This year I was awakened by my difficult child kitty at 4am with a gift of a freshly killed sock from the laundry room. I can hardly get mad about the 4 am thing because like the preschooler that's made a huge mess to make you the perfect treasure, he's so pure hearted and so proud I see right past it. Last year I made Baked Beans For 25 On My Special Day. This year I was determined not to cook so I was going to pick up a veggie tray at the store and wouldn't you know they didn't look fresh? Making the trip across town during graduation weekend didn't sound fun either so I wound up making a Veggie Tray For 20 On my Special Day. Next year I'm planning to spend it with Helpmehelphim at a restraunt! Who needs this!? Fran, I know what you're saying that it's about time to be top mom, but I guess it wouldn't mean much were I to demand being treated well on Mother's Day. I was actually less surly than most years, in part because I've realized that what I've always wanted was for my husband to protest loudly that this was a sorry way to treat the mothers. If he hasn't done that by now, it's a totally lost cause, so I've turned my attention to the kids. I've made sure in no uncertain terms that if my boys treat their wives like this on MD, I will *kill* them. This means I'll probably be sitting home alone on MD when I'm old, but so be it. This is one family tradition that's got to go. When I arrived home I had a bra and five socks waiting for me on the kitchen floor from the cat. [img]:angel:[/img] [/QUOTE]
