Mothers Day # 12

This post is going to have 3 parts the good, the bad and the ugly....

So lets start with the good :) ... and then for all those who don't want to hear the bad and ugly you can skip the rest!

Ben and the kids treated me like a queen... breakfast (homemade) and almost in bed if it wasn't for all that noise they were making, a dozen roses, and two very special handmade gifts from Austin & Mo.

Austin made me a scarf and dyed leaf prints onto it, he even hand made me a card wishing me a Happy 11th Mothers day.... we wont tell him I celebrated when he was just a few months old ;)

Morgan made me a beautiful bracelet... that i think she intended to be a necklace but ran out of wire :) she even wrote me a darling poem

"Mom, you make me glad...
when I am sad
You give me candy
and you are handy....
Happy Mothers Day!"

I am so lucky and loved by the people in my life I couldnt ask for better kids and hubby!!

Thanks so much!!!

Okay now for the bad & ugly.... those weak at heart may want to skip this part

(disclaimer... some of this is second hand from my sister so my facts may be askew by a word or two but never the less still just as bad)... before anyone freaks shes fine and babies fine too!)
(disclaimer #2... there is pg-13 language :), sorry i tried...)

I guess I need to start by explaining my relationship with my mother as "cliff note version" as I can. We are on little to no speaking terms... I don't want to get all sappy feel sorry for me but everyone that attended our wedding knows that its just not a "healthy environment" for myself emotionally. So with her last "I'm going to get attention by committing myself to the psych ward, because i just don't want to live anymore stint" (about a year ago) I decided that I had to finally grieve the loss of my mother.. because the grieving the loss of my mother over and over each time she did this was just too painful...
Unfortunately for Tiffany she was not ready to do this at that time, so as we come upon mothers day ...(here's the disclaimer, sorry tiff if i get the facts wrong) My mother called Tiff and said "so what are you getting me for mothers day?" and tiff responded "well i don't have a lot of money because I'm saving for the baby and our anniversary trip in a few weeks" ..." but i would like to see you maybe we could do lunch" and " maybe misty will come "(ugh thanks)

Then Tiffy asked what she wanted for lunch and my mother the "wonderful, selfless person she is!!!" says "ooh i want steak!"

Okay i know that taco bell, or home cooked spaghetti (something economical) isn't the mothers dream for mothers day but whatever happened to being considerate!! my hell! she just told you she didn't have any money... eek still a bit bothered can you tell???

so..... Tiffy pauses and says "okay ... can we go to sizzler?" AND!!!! that crazy lady that gave birth to me snickered!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Okay so Tiffy is pregnant and has been wanting to go to Texas Roadhouse but just the audacity of this whole thing makes me want to take "mother" there and put a chair in front of the dump and say enjoy (there's a bit of the ugly... sorry to my moms Cindy and Shari)! However, Tiff is nicer than myself so she does offer to take her there...

So the plans in place... we (ugh thanks again!) are supposed to meet at Tiffs at 4 pm Sunday

I actually got her a gift.... reservations made, got all dolled up, make-up, a SKIRT for hell sake! AND as I'm pulling out of the drive way.... ring ring ring...

BIG ASS SURPRISE !!! the crazy cow makes up some excuse for not coming! (eek more ugly! sorry again)

Well since I'm being so nice today I'm just going to share with all of Internet land the wonderful excuse to bail on you children on Mothers Day.... Cramps! She couldn't pop a midol and fake nice for 2 hours and be with the only 2 children she has on the day intended to celebrate what a shitty (oops good... nope i meant shitty) job she did parenting us! I used to be able to blame all her crap on booze and now shes sober and has been for a while... so i guess maybe all along she just had us all fooled.

So... as a few of my pregnant readers know once you get it in your mind that you want something to eat... its do or die ;0

We went to Texas Roadhouse and ate like piggies, well more like ordered like piggies and took a bunch of stuff home :D. But I think I had more fun with just the two of us than it would have been with the three of us anyhow (which is just mean and sad)...

And it gets meaner... here's the really ugly part after dinner we took the money that would have been spent on moms dinner and headed over to Ross and bought 2 of the cutest purses ever!!!

So tonight I shall pray for forgiveness for the mean things Ive said and done.

I will also promise to my children that no matter the ailment... " you are the loves of my life and you will always be first!"

Next Mothers Day I want Spaghetti ( i don't even care if its from a can.....)
