I needed a reminder that I am an ugly mom, I had a truly wonderful Ugly Mother's Day moment. Yesterday was also my birthday, which my husband thought was today, but that's a whole other issue. We gathered at my mom's for a relaxing beautiful day complete with steak and seriously when my dad grills steak what else matters?
The kids were eager to do gifts/cards before dinner, so we obliged. Taylor made me a lovely card, so lovely and filled with "35's" was it that I will likely not soon forget how old I am. Then came Lydia's card and I knew it was going to be special, but I wasn't quite prepared for it. On the front it says, "These Are the TOP TEN REASON WHY I LOVE YOU (emphasis NOT added)." And when I opened it, there is nary a reason, not one, zero, zilch, nada. Oh Lydia, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways ......
Hope your Mother's Day was a little bit ugly also too.

Well it's obvious the problem here. Well there's two: 1) You're Ugly; and 2) the stress on this poor child of limiting the hundreds of reasons to just TEN was ovewhelming, so overwhelming that she froze and could not continue. Poor thing.
I got a day-old non-floating balloon from Red Robin from her 9-year-old cousin.
Ooooooh, Jerry. That's all I have to say about that one.
Jerry better have a good hiding place. That is all I will say on the subject.
I agree with Deb. There are truly too many ways, and ten is such a small number. Maybe you got her first draft of the card. Like, she wrote it and then realized it should have been FIFTY (at least), and went to work on that one. Then she lost it and you got draft #1.
Yeah, that's probably it.
And while my Mother's Day was pretty great, the week leading up to mother's day and the couple days following have been less motherly than I had hoped.
suck.
Jerry had better be making up for that one, big time!!
I got half dead (literally - they were black and gooey on the stems already) grocery store flowers and a card with half the words crossed out two days early. Mine was pretty Ugly.
And I'd like to point out that each of your kids pretty much lives in his or her own alternate universe. Just sayin'.
As for Jer? Seems to me like it's pretty much par for the course, no?
Laugh out loud funny! Even funnier, Sam thought that Lydia just "didn't finish the card". Ah, these Kilgores!
