Mother's Day has changed completely I think from what it used to be. Back when I was a young Mother I never once missed getting my Mom something for Mother's Day. I still would if she was alive. I don't remember when I started getting my daughter's something but now I always do.
This day was great. My daughter Jana's husband fixed us breakfast. We had biscuits with gravy, bacon, eggs and fried potatoes.They invited me along with his Step Mom for lunch. We had hot dogs, steak , baked potatoes and salad. Dustin(my son) came over also with his wife Lana and daughter Ella.
I got two bouquets of flowers. A gift card form Barnes and Noble. Flowers on a stand for outside. A family birthstone necklace . When I got home my next door neighbor brought me a single rose. I had a nice time.
Still when you get home from all that excitement and then your all alone it is just a let down. Not because I have nothing to do either. I got plenty to do. I have to write an article of 3,000 words by tomorrow. I have put it off. I got to really get on that soon as I finish here.
I think having a large family of seven kids ruined me for living alone. When I get home from visiting family I just feel so lonely sometimes. Then again sometimes I love being alone. I love my private time. Don't get me wrong.
And I cant wait until tomorrow when I take my gift card to Barnes and Noble and purchase some books. I am most happy when I am buying books. I don't know if I will get them all read in my lifetime but I am going to try.
Hope everyone had a great mom's Day.
