I didn't mean to do it. I told myself I wouldn't. But I did. Tears on Mother's Day. I've had two Mother's Day's in my life and I've cried on both...and not happy tears either. Last year I can't even really remember the issue. Doing dishes and laundry possibly? No plans were made for me, I remember this one for sure. My present was incredible and possibly one of the best gifts I've ever received, my Nikon D80 camera. I remember it ending well but the start of it was a huge bust.
This year, even before the day started, at 8:00pm the night before, I was told "I don't have any plans for you for tomorrow". ERK! WHAT?! I was not a happy Mama. We were driving home from KC's parents house after a lovely afternoon to celebrate Mother's Day with him mom, on the ferry heading home. I spoke not one word the entire ferry ride. My first words to him on the subject were about half an hour after we arrived in Seattle and this is what I said. "I'm sad and disappointed and I can't believe you've done this again, made me cry for a second year in a row because you've made no plans, haven't gotten me a gift and didn't even think to get me a card". KC reminded me that he DID give me a gift last year and I've told him about 10 times since that it was the best damn gift ever. "Oh ya, sorry I forgot. Well, that doesn't take away from the fact that you've completely dropped the ball this year." He told me that wasn't true and he felt bad. I felt bad too.
Things blow over pretty quickly with us. It's one of the many reasons why we work. We laugh a lot, especially if we've had an argument or disagreement. It's hard to stay mad at KC as he's incredibly sweet and charming. So, needless to say it didn't take very long for us to make up and for him to start doing the dishes (our 1927 home has no dishwasher). After he was done, he asked me if I wanted to open up my gift. What? You really did get me something? Feeling like such crap now, really. What a boob I am. Of course I said yes because I have nil for patience. I closed my eyes and opened them to a nice Nordstrom box. Inside were a beautiful pair of Kate Spade 'Celeste' sunglasses.

They make my nose look a little big and KC agreed. So I'm going today to exchange them for these 'Rae' glasses:

At least you had the shake! I would have crumbled and begged for french toast.
How is your fierce lifestyle overhaul going?? I am dying to know!
Decorno, it's going pretty well. As you can tell my posting has been nil as this program is like taking on a third job. Crazy time commitment. I'll have sometime this long and absolutely beautiful weekend to post a few updates. Maybe with pictures.
