Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms and Moms to be. I hope you all had a good day! Mothers Day can be a pretty depressing day when it seems like your kids or spouse can care less it's the day that you should get a break. I've learned if you don't except much than it is a lot less disappointing for everything in life. I knew not to expect much when on Friday I asked Andrew if he had got my present and he looked at me with a innocent look on his face and said, "Am I supposed to buy you a gift for mothers day? I thought I was just supposed to just make you breakfast and be nice to you all day". Then when we were talking about dinner I asked him if he was going to get anything besides steak and he replied, "Steak we don't need anything else" being completely serious because he really could care less about eating the "sides". So this morning I was totally shocked when Andrew walked into the bedroom with a bundle of Daisy's, breakfast, and a card with a long written message of appreciation. I will have to admit that the thought actually crossed my mind that he went out and picked flowers out of somebody's yard cause I could not think when he would have bought the flowers. Apparently he went when I thought he was helping a friend and left them in the car until I feel asleep. He bathed Jane and helped with what ever he could all morning long until he left to church. He had to go earlier than I to attend a meeting so we met up later in sacrament meeting. When I sat down he said man I'm so hungry I haven't eaten anything all day. I asked him why and his response cracked me up, "I've been so busy I totally forgot about eating". Then he was sweat enough to say, "babe I don't know how you do it". It was nice to have him see for a day what I go through everyday. When we got home from church we made dinner together. Andrew took care of the steak and I covered the sides. It was really a wonderful day for me. I'm so thankful for my husband in making this a special day for me. I love being a mother. It is a lot of work but I would never chose to do anything different.
