\"\"<\/a>Yesterday I posted about how awkward Mother’s Day can be. Today I am delighted to say that I had a very UN awkward Mother’s Day! My daughter (who is 10) was as easy going and natural as could be and came in while I was posting to give me a handmade gift of a little pot of flowers that I will take to my office. While I was getting a cup of coffee before we were going to leave for church, my 13 year old son came in and gave me a gift. A beautiful scarf (thin so I wouldn’t get too hot – he knows me well) that he had obtained beknownst to his father. I was able to put together an outfit for church in about two minutes that it would work with well. He said I didn’t have to change clothes, but it pleased me to do so and I think it did him somewhere deep inside. I called out goodbye to my 17 year old son and left for church. During the morning prayer I saw something move out of the corner of my eye – my eldest son had shown up (he attends a different church) and came to sit right beside me. He even put his arm around me occasionally. I can’t explain how that makes a mother feel, to have her son acknowledge her in a public place with a gesture of love and possession. I am blessed to have two sons who are affection in public, but it seemed to be especially poignant on Mother’s Day. Especially since I had not asked him to come to church with us. Anyway, we came home afterwards where my husband and kids had made plans to prepare lunch for us (my mother-in-law and I). It was wonderful to watch them bustle around us doing all the “stuff”. My two sons prepared a “gift” for Grandma and myself. I share it below. This wisdom was gleaned from things we have both said and they have heard in various places. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

10 Things our Mother Taught Us – May 9, 2010<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
  1. Anticipation – “Just wait till your father gets home.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Receiving – “You’re going to get it when we get home.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Logic – “If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you won’t be able to come to the store with me.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Humor – “When the lawnmower cuts off your toes, don’t come running to me.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. Genetics – “You’re just like your father.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. How to appreciate a job well done – “If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning the house.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. Religion – “You better pray that comes out of the carpet.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. Time travel – “I’m going to knock you into the middle of next week.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. Reason – “Because I said so.”<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. Foresight – “Make sure you wear clean underwear in case you’re in an accident.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n
    I will say, that in complete honesty – this was the best Mother’s Day I’ve ever had. I think I’m looking forward to my birthday!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
