Day for Moms

It has been a very nice Mother's Day. The husband made me breakfast in bed and then I decided to head up to Kohl's and do some shopping for myself. I hate to shop but I wanted to pick up a few things and maybe a new top to wear to the mother's day luncheon with my mom. I got there as it opened and hardly any customers so it was nice shopping in a near empty store.

After my shopping spree, I met my sisters and my niece for lunch with my mom. We went to a new Italian restaurant. It was so good! We all got a red rose on our way out. Next, my mother and I went shopping at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I had received a gift certificate from my boss last week for staff appreciation day, and wanted to pick up a new stir fry pan. They also accept coupons from Linen and Things, so I had one in my purse for 10% one item and that was put to good use.

While we were in the store, my second son called to wish me a happy mother's day. My first born was waiting for me to get home and then he was planning to come for a visit. So I headed back home and had a nice visit with him. Last week I was telling him about an old movie Awakenings, with Robin Williams and Robert Deniro and telling him how great it was and that it is a movie that I thought he would enjoy. I had been thinking about the movie all week. My son noticed that it was being aired this afternoon. That was perfect timing, as I had just sat on the couch and I was ready for a good tearjerker movie.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms that may stop by here today.
