Mother's Day. The most uneventful yet.

I remember when I was little, I'd make breakfast bright and early for my mom, then shower her with gifts as she sat confortably in bed. My brother and I would present her with hand-made cards, which she'd exclaim were beautiful even if they were just blobs of color and stickers.

This year mom got up early and went to work. She left us with a list of chores she wanted us to do. Around 6 she came home, my brother and I each gave her a store bought card. At least I made sure mine was a good one. My brother bought the first one he saw that said "From your son."

Oh, and I got mom some flowers, but she knew about them already. It's kinda hard to hide that many flowers. They were the kind you plant, so there wasn't any place to put them without tracking dirt all over the house.

Anyway, then we went to grandma's house. She had ordered food at a local boston-market type place. Everyone ate, and then we sat around and watched tv. Dessert was served. I made my pudding look fancy with whipped cream and strawberries. All semi-professiional looking and stuff.

Then we left. I don't think I ever actually said Happy Mother's Day to Mom or Grandma. I'm a terrible person I guess.... It just didn't feel like a holiday, so it slipped my mind. *sigh*
