Yesterday

My daughter had a science project to do that is due today. She had to make a animal cell out of a cake, which is kind-of ironic because she had to do the same thing in 7th grade. My husband was suppose to pick up a cake when he went shopping, but of course he forgot! So, off to the store we went after school. Well we decide to get a cake mix and have her make the cake because all the cakes at the store are already decorated. We pick out the cake mix and the frosting and we check to see what colors we need for all the stuff she has to put on top of the cake to make a animal cell, well it turns out we have to get just about every color. I also had to pick up something to go with dinner, the funny thing is my husband planned on hot dogs, but he got nothing to go with it. In the mean time we run into my oldest son who works at the store and of course I have to stop to give him a hug! I see this display with thermometers and I saw this one that says "It's not SHOPPING it's retail therapy" Well I had to have it!! I stop to talk to son1 and son2 says, "Did you get a hat yet for your costume"? Son1, "No I haven't", son2 "What about those ones"? son1 "They cost to much", Me well how much are they son1 tells me, well I will buy it for you, son1 oh ok thanks!! I go to the check out and they have one checker and the self check outs I hate the self check outs so I go to stand in the line. Well there are like six people behind me and there's a checker who doesn't have her light on so no one is moving over there and she isn't offering anyone to go over to her, I was a little ticked off and was about to say something when a checker came over and lead me to check out 9, lucky for the gal in check out 13! We get home and my daughter makes her cake and everything I get dinner going and everything going along good, oh I forgot when I was talking to son1 he said he had something for me from his girlfriend he said it was money and a letter. Oh why is she giving me money? Because she feels she needed to pay you back for the dress. Me: I never ask her for the money back I wanted to do it? Son1: I know but she feels like she should. I go over to where she is working to say hello and to tell her I didn't want the money. She says she appreicated everything I have done for her and she felt she owed me. I said I was sorry for the way things turned out and hope that she finds what ever she is seeking. So I get home like I said I read the note, well let me tell you I lost it! I could not stop crying! I know big news there!! So we have dinner and my daughter starts to finish up on her cell and my husband comes home. My daughter finished her cell and ask if I have something she can carry the cake in to take it to school. Well I thought I had grabbed my mom's cake carrier but I didn't so than I thought well maybe son1 had it so I called. He said he didn't either than ask me what the note said, so I read it to him and lost it all over again, but than there was silence on the other end, me: Are you still there? Yeah. Ok by the way I have the hat and I wrote a letter if you want to come by after work or you can wait until tomorrow. I will probably come by after work. I go out and my husband said are you crying? Yeah I just read the letter to son1. So I let him read it well he was a little up set because in the letter she mentioned what a great job I did with raising son1. I see she didn't mention me, I told him, the letter is to ME so of course she isn't going to say anything about you. This whole thing has got us all upset, so I just told her I hope that she finds what she is looking for and that she doesn't give my son false hope. It is hard and I hate to see my son hurting and I want to make it all better! So it doesn't matter how old your children are as a mother you want to be there and protect them and make the hurt go away. Even when you are in your forty's your mom is going to say, You better put on a coat it is cold outside! That is my thought for today: No matter what, no matter how old your mom well always care for you!
