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!
