[QUOTE="slsh, post: 153182, member: 8"] :rofl: Well, I remembered in time (kinda) to get flowers to my mom, 'cuz heaven knows I'm already the worst daughter in the world in her book. She has a great florist who takes pity on me for being tardy, always. ;) Actually, I didn't remember - didn't even realize the "big day" was this weekend until I got my annual Mother's Day bouquet from my brother. Don't ask me why he sends me one every year... I haven't a clue, but it's a good reminder. Diva and Wee arrived home this afternoon with progress reports that just about did me in - 2 D's for her, 1 F (and straight A's otherwise????) for him. I swear, they must have coordinated their stories on the walk home. They both have forcefully inhaling grades becuase they "forgot" to turn work in. I call fertilizer on that. Have I mentioned we're doing *major* renovations here - well, we're not, but the contractors are. Today was the day they ripped out one of the outside walls - my brain is still rattling from all the noise. Upon being presented with these lovely progress reports, I banished them both from my sight, had a glass of wine with my 3rd Motrin of the day, and told husband to handle it. thank you arrived home this evening... without medications. :hammer:He only has to remember to bring *one* thing home - his medications.
