Mother's day

I really did not even want to post about this topic.
It was really a horrible day for me,
but today- things got better.

i will for-warn you that some of this may sound selfish, but kill me, it could be worse.

oh and this is by all means NOT why my mothers day was dreadful, this is why it got better today!

on Friday, when i finally got home from the slave factory, i went peeking around Torrie's daycare items to see if she brought me home a picture or something or even a poem for mothers day, and i found nothing.

i thought gee, maybe my mom hid it! cause she knows I'm a snoop! and she will bring it out on mothers day for me!!

mothers day rolls around.
nothing
Nada
zilch.
my mother didn't even get me a card and write love Torrie on it.
this really feels shitty.
last year when i was prego i had an arm load of mommy to be gifts
and this yr, no one even signed her name to a card.
whatever, so me and Torrie did what we did on mothers day and I was happy to be with her.

now today, i wake up and I'm feeling really low about the other things i will not discuss that made my day the worst but i was still feeling craptastic. I got Torrie ready for daycare and I thought, hmm maybe my mom forgot to take my present out of her cubby on Friday!
right! i will look when i get there!
so we get there finally and i snoop around, trying not to look suspicious and I see nothing.

blah, I get to work and a new friend "texts" me and wishes me a happy mothers day :) which made my day and off i went to move on with my life.

fast forward thru all the slave driving business.

I get home and what is sitting on my kitchen table but a present! with Torrie's beautiful face on it!
Its my present!!
 I jumped up and down,
my mother looked at me like i was a freak.
I was so excited to have someone acknowledge that I was a mother.

the first thing i did!
take pictures!

this is the front of the Chinese carton with Torrie's picture on it. shes smiling so hard in the picture!

this is the back it has a poem that says:
"this is a very special box,
that only you can see.
the reason its so special,
it's just for you from me.
its filled with lots of kisses
as sweet as can be,
just hold the box close to your heart
and always think of me!!"

and inside was:

Hershey kisses!!! (well the ones i didn't eat yet!)

so the moral of the story- good things come to those who wait.

right? but i didn't really wait,it was borderline begging....
