Mother's Day

My Mother's Day post is a little late coming as I slept through it. It was a long day with a lot of work related problems that I had to navigate. I would typically come home and sleep a couple of hours, but on Mother's Day I slept until 11:00 p.m. When I got up, my daughter was still awake. She had baked the most amazing chocolate chip cookies. But also on her menu for Mother's Day was chicken fried steak, she didn't get to make it. We sat up on Sunday talking about her meal and what she envisioned it would have been like. Here is what she said:

I thought it would be like in the magazines where we would laugh and cook together. Then you could read your cards and get your gift, which by the way, I picked out.

Ohhhhh, how sweet. That in and of itself was like a "magazine".

Monday I opened my gift...new shoes for work! I cannot tell you what a great gift it is. I am off today and walking around in them. Feels soooo good. What a difference the right shoe makes.

Since I am off tonight, I think we will have our "magazine moment" and make that dinner together.
