I know Mother's Day is not really until tomorrow, but since most of us have so many "extra" jobs as mother's of CF kids, I thought we deserved an "extra" day.
So, Happy Mother's Day!
Any of you who read my previous post knows I'm having a very hard week right now. Well, my daughter just brought me a card she made for me and she wrote me a poem. It says:
I will be the best in every way,
To be Extra Sweet on Mother's Day.
But if you become upset with me,
Please relax and have a cup of tea!
Isn't that sweet?
And then the "mother of all Mother's Day presents..."
My step son, who I have raised and who hardly ever sees his bio mom as she lives 1500 miles away, comes up to me all excited and says "Close your eyes...no peeking..." So I did.... he hands me something and I open my eyes. It's a really pretty card he made with his picture on it and a Mother's Day poem they wrote at school....then I look further and notice that it says "Happy Mother's Day to my Mom, Sheila"... Well, obviously I am not Sheila... I just smiled and asked, "oh, did you make this for your mom?" and he says yes... I said, "Oh, that was very nice... I'll get an envelope so you can to send it to her."
OUCH!
