When I woke up on Mother’s Day I
had a memory of me as a kid. I remember asking my mom, why there is a Father’s
Day and a Mother’s Day, but no kids day. And she said, “that’s because every
day is kid’s day”.

Back then I didn’t think this was
true. But now as a mom I know it’s the truth. Every day is kids day.

Which is why, I was glad that my
hubs put some effort into making Mother’s Day about me.

I got to sleep in for as long
as I liked which, was really only a half hour longer than normal but it was
still nice.
John and Jack got my favorite
Sunday morning delights, a chocolate frosted cinnamon roll donut, a Carmel latte
and the Sunday paper. And though my attempts at reading the paper uninterrupted
were foiled by a little boy who’s current obsession is sitting on his mama’s
lap, it was still wonderful.

We
walked around Smithville, one of my favorite places, where I picked up my favorite
treat chocolate covered gummy bears.

Jack loved the train ride that we went on
but didn’t feel the same way about the Merry Go Round. He screamed so much we
had to exit the ride before it started.

That night we planned to get an
early dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants, Smitty’s Clam Bar. They
do not take reservations and even though we arrived at 4:30 the wait was over
an hour. But Jack hung in there like a champ and was a good boy throughout the
meal ,even if he threw all the sugar packets on the floor and only ate his French
fries.

Then I tucked Jack in and drove to
my mom’s to watch the finale of Desperate Housewives. When the show premiered I was in college and home on the weekends. On
Sunday nights I would watch Desperate with my mom and then jump in my car and
drive back to school. It was our little tradition so it was nice to watch the
finale together.

I loved that I spent most of the
day with my family but still got to spend some quality time with my mom. She’s
my best friend and one of the things I miss about my life before kids, is all
the time my mom and I had just the two of us.

In between all the fun I did some
laundry (sigh) and emptied the dishwasher (double sigh), but it was still nice
to feel like a bit of the day was about me, even though let’s face it, it’s
just another kids day.

Here we are on the train and yes that is chocolate on my lip from the chocolate covered strawberry I had to have at the candy store.

I quit watching DH a few seasons ago myself, but I love that you watched the ending with your Mom! And I love that you had all kinds of treats for YOU on Mother's Day! Love that photo of the three of you. 🙂
Totally, every day is kid's day! I thought chocolate covered cinnamon bears sounded bad but when I tasted them, oh my gosh, so good.
Great family photo.
I did laundry and some cleaning, too, but my hubby did do the cooking!
So true, it is kids day everyday…even Mother's Day!
