My day started at 6:00 AM when I heard T slamming things around downstairs in the kitchen. Was she getting me breakfast in bed? heck no, just pigging out herself before turning on cartoons (abslutely against the rules on a Sunday morning). I drug myself out of bed at 7am acn came down to make coffee. T started jabbering with the dog and doing other things to annoy me. I went upstairs to wake the boys who had to be at church by the 8:30 service since they were in a puppet play for mother's day. Woke J first... he almost moved. Finally got his adhd pill in him and told him to get up and get moving. Then went in and woke up E. while I wasa trying to rouse him I noticed that all the clean clothes I had asked him to put away yesterday were just shoved in the bottom of his closet. Of course when I said something about it he yelled at me - because somehow it was my fault I guess. Then I went in to get dressed. By the time I was dressed C was out of bed and throwing a tantum over something. But why would Mother's Day start any different from any other day of the year?
Went to church with the boys, which went well. Dh dropped the girls off at 10am for Sunday school, then he he came back at 11:00 for second service with us. The two older kids made Mother's Day gifts in their confirmation class. Really pretty beaded things to hang on key chain. But T decided she is going to save hers to give to her birth mom when she gets out of prison. But, of course. I am only her adoptive mom.
We came home and I cleaned the kitchen before in laws came for dinner. Dh made an absolutely wonderful cranbery glazed pork roast on the rotiserie.
I did get some cards and gifts. The kids each made their own cards. Actually I need to ammend that. J made a card at school that was really nice (T made one at school to, but that also goes to b mom). J also made a card for E to give to me. E didn't even sign his own name. that would have been far too much trouble. T made a card at home that said "Sorry I have been such a brat lately, but I love you" and T helped C make a card. Dh gave me a card and a Beth Moore devotional.
Now I need to go finish cleaning the kitchen. Happy Mother's Day.
