An Actual Conversation With My Sister

by Mrs. Chicken on May 11, 2008

K: Hello?

Me: Hey! Thanks for the flowers! You didn’t need to do that.

K: You’re welcome. You sent some to me, too, right?

Me: Ummmm … last year I did. Not this year …

K: Then who sent me flowers? There are some waiting for me at the neighbor’s.

Me: Mom?

K: No, she said she didn’t.

Me: Your husband?

K: Why would he do that?

****

Thrice yesterday my doorbell rang, and three times I was handed a vase of beautiful blooms. My mom, sister and husband all sent me flowers this year.

But the best gift? Waking up to the sweet face and sweeter kiss of my little girl and feeling my son kick and flutter in my belly.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you!

I slept late *although Chase was in bed with me* and then had a quiet brunch with girlfriends and their mothers. It’s something I do every year. Men get to go to the golf course so why not a nice lunch to myself? :)
