Mother’s Day Thoughts

This Sunday we are celebrating Mother’s Day.  I miss being a mom to young children.  Now they are young adults.  I’m still mothering my soon-to-be 20-year-old son.  We are almost finished with finals week.  He has one more exam and one major project to submit by Sunday night.  After that I do not know what the boy is going to do with his time.

I miss when my kids were young.  I miss their hugs and kisses.  I miss picking out their clothes, driving them places, and seeing their performances either in sports or music.  I love that I have those memories.  My Facebook memories this week are all about proms and high school achievements.

My husband asked me last night what I want for Mother’s Day.  I usually get some kind of lawn ornament and flowers for the yard.  He wants to get new yard lights.  So I know that will be one thing I will receive. He said we could go shopping Saturday at the local Walmart and Menards.  I reminded him we need to get something for his mom too.  It will most likely be something lawn related.

I mailed a homemade card to my mom who lives in Missouri.  I know that she hinted that she wanted me to come down for the weekend.  Unfortunately,  I don’t feel right about leaving town at this time.  I will give her a gift when I do make it down, hopefully in early June.

So what are your Mother’s Day plans?  Will you see your children?  I will be missing my daughter, but hope to talk to her.  I wish that we could video chat.  We will see about that.  Do you have any traditions?   It will be different this year. That is for sure!!

I hope that you have a great Mother’s Day weekend!
