[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 426659, member: 65"] Over-all, I had a great day. I was totally surprised by the first "person" to wish me a Happy M's day. Miss Daisy woke me up at 6:30. Daisy never gets up early, she doesn't get out of bed until she hears her dogfood hit the bowl. But yesterday, she was up and in my face all happy and thrilled with the "get up, get up" licks and tail wags. As soon as I was up, she ran and got her toy so we could play. After we played, she went back to bed. It was like she knew it was a special day and wanted to help start it off in a good way. Then, I gave myself the nicest treat.....I sat and enjoyed peace and quiet. I got myself a cup of coffee and did nothing for over an hour. Just sat. Just relaxed. Just enjoyed. It didn't cost me a penny but was worth a million. Then it was time to get back to reality. Ant called first to wish me a Happy Day and to say that he got a 2nd job and had to work, he'd see me when he got off of work. easy child didn't call until 6pm. I was starting to get worried. Turned out that he woke up with a migraine, took some medicine and slept the whole day away. He apologized for not calling earlier, he didn't think he'd knock out for that long. Steph didn't even send a text. (over heard husband tell Ant and he was ******. He told husband that he even called and reminded her to call).... I'm glad she didn't call or text. It was actually easier having her continue her silent treatment. (maybe detachment is working?) We had dinner at my Mom's. My Mom is a unique person and is thrilled with the strangest gifts.
