Mothers Day

On Saturday I drove to Springfield, MO. to train a new employee. It's a 5 hour drive and I drive at night, but I really enjoy the time to myself and it's very relaxing (well, except for the deer, possums, skunks and axe wielding men with a 6-pack of Bud-Light that seem to jump out at cars on these 2 lane state highways.)I decided not to spend the night and drove back around 3am(more animals, more axe wielding men) so that I could be home for Mother's Day.
My kids are grown, but we're raising 2 grandkids, so it's back to treating Janet as the Queen and spending a small fortune so that Annie and Hallie can show their love (just kidding about the small fortune)(no, I'm not)(yes, I am)(no, I'm not)(YES, I AM) The kids had picked out and had given flowers to her and she really appreciated them. She told me later that she had really wanted flowers to plant in her garden.(six year olds can be so uncaring)
We all went to church and, of course, it was a Mother's Day theme. There were mothers, grand-mothers, mother's-in-law, to-be mothers and a bad mother(SHUT YOUR MOUTH)(I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft)(THEN WE CAN DIG IT)
Then we went to lunch. Janet bought lunch for her mother(which I paid for), Annie and Hallie bought lunch for their grand-mother(which I paid for) and my father-in-law had lunch(which......I........paid..........for!!!) That last line was for a laugh, I could never repay my father-in -law for all he has done for us.
Then we topped off her day with a gift of which every mother was envious. We took her to see STAR TREK (but, she did enjoy it) and the kids took her to "play McDonald's" after the movie.(but, she did enjoy it)
(NO I'M NOT!)
