Mother's Day is a day for homemade gifts, tissue paper flowers in papermache' painted vases and cereal on a string. Sadly, my kiddos are in Middle School and I won't be seeing homemade gifts this year. So, I thought I would offer a few gift suggestions to the family.
I am not (too) materialistic. Saving their money...is saving my money. So, I will gladly accept the following items for Mother's Day this year.
1. The pair of kitchen scissors secretly MIA in "someone's" bedroom. I know they used to live in the junk drawer. They lived next to the (also missing) Scotch tape. They miss each other... and I miss them as well.
2. A pair of earrings, my blue skinny belt and the new sequin heart top I bought from the Limited. I think they are residing in "another" closet...down the hall. Secretly, I am giddy that my clothes are just cool enough to be borrowed. Too bad, I may never get to wear them myself.
3. An emptied dishwasher...without being asked, over and over. And, while we're at it...the ability to find the measuring cup in its usual cabinet, top shelf. Its a lot to ask, but finding the measuring cup next to the wine glasses last week, took ten minutes. By then, I had to pop a bottle of wine to calm my nerves.
4. Towels draped on towel racks. I haven't seen those since I walked through Bed, Bath and Beyond. I know that's what the rack is for, right?
5. A smile. I see alot of frowns and eye rolls...I know the mouth can curve up sometimes...it would be nice to see a smile on my kiddos face, just on Sunday.
These items don't need gift wrap. The scissors and tape are gone anyhow. I kept the cost down so you can buy more songs on itunes and save for another pair of Vans.
I would also gladly take a Fruit Loop necklace, a homemade picture frame or a Lego model of our house. I miss those too.
To all you Moms, I wish you a Happy Mother's Day!
