[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 153656"] My morning started with a parade of cats on my pillow. Obviously something very interesting was going on outside and it could only be seen from my window. And of course, they decided they could only get to that window from my pillow...not from the pillow next to me. Hydro and Puddles are not little cats. And Hydro seems to stomp when he walks. So, first it's Hydro in the window with Puddles standing next to my head on the pillow. Then they trade places. Then Puddles gets down and Hydro gets up. Then Hydro gets out of the window and Abbey gets in there while Hydro is still trying to get a peek. Then Abbey does this coughing thing and, quick reflexes at work, I move cause I really didn't want a hairball on my head. Then I looked and noticed that she had managed to get her collar caught on the blinds and had it halfway across one of the parts thingy. Sigh. So I disentangle her. I noticed a card on the pillow next to me (I guess the card was why the cats couldn't use that pillow? My head was better to step on than the card?). I picked it up and it read, "Mom", in easy child's handwriting. I smiled and went back to sleep. I didn't want to read the card until I was awake. It's been a long time since easy child has acknowledged Mother's Day, so that made me feel really good. I got up and there was a note from easy child that he was at his girlfriend's and if I needed him to call and "P.S. I still need to make you breakfast." An hour later, the tornado sirens started going off. When they go off, we're supposed to get an emergency broadcast message on the t.v. Well, Time Warner just updated their system and every time the tornado sirens went off (they went off at least 4 times), the cable, internet and phone went out. So, I couldn't call easy child to make sure he was ok. After that settled down, I laid down for a nap and ended up sleeping almost 5 hours. I called easy child when I got up wondering if he was going to come home. Apparently he had while I was sleeping. He wished me Happy Mother's Day about half a dozen times and told me he loved me as many times. Last year he didn't even acknowledge the day, so it was really nice. difficult child signed the card, too, but other than that didn't acknowledge the day. Tonight I was helping difficult child with her cooking/homework assignment and it was fun. She did get mad at me for laughing (thread on wc), but I made her come out of her room and I shared some of my cooking disasters and that made her feel better. It went downhill after that, though. easy child came home around 10:00 and isn't feeling well and went from walking in the door and giving me a hug (a rarity) to being grouchy and snappy. Ah, well. I got a card and my son remember which is more than I've had in several years. So, I guess all in all not a bad day. [/QUOTE]
