Jumping to conclusions and expect the unexpected...is always nice! PS Happy Mother's Day!

You know something I was wrong, yes this woman, AKA Tobi, of many mistakes making daily again was W-R-O-N-G! Today was surprisingly good and nice and pleasant, and not at all sad or miserable.
And I will tell you that that was quite a relief!
Being wrong has its rewards.

Everyone and his Mother knows what today was, oh excuse me for the pun, nah, since today was Mother’s Day!
And somehow in my mind I played it over and over like a broken record why this day was so powerful over me and my past issues of family life and the preconceived notion on how it should all go down to be a successful day, and never ever could be.
That alone should have told me it was doomed for failure.

But as I said when beginning this rant that again I was proven wrong!
Let me start at the beginning, OK?

Sadly I awoke before five A.M. expecting magically I know not what.
Oh yes I do, a pile of Mother’s Day cards littering our dinette table.
Or at least some emails from my sons telling me how much they love me and that they were on their way to visit and that we would all go out to brunch!
I know only in the movies, huh?

But Hubby is the one who changed/saved the day for me!
When he awoke he uncovered the pool so I could take an early dip, but then made breakfast for me!
While he was sleeping I was able to finish the second of the double header of movies we were watching last night but I was unable to stay awake for. The line up had been, ‘Nine’ and then ‘The Tooth Fairy’. With the second one being the one I fell asleep on, and so this morning in the wee hours I watched that.

After my morning pool exercises and shower and dressing, but of course you knew that; we got into the car and went over to Fishville to see the Arts and Crafts Show and have some lunch at our favorite waterside fish restaurant. We both had the lobster casserole, a new dish on the menu and it came with their delish Cole slaw and our choice of a second side which happened to be the house salad for us both! Hubby had coffee and I had my unsweet iced tea, same as usual.
But let’s face it, it was a special occasion! And believe it or not; that lunch was not that dear in price for what we got, and was worth every cent.
I felt as special as the meal.
What did you expect at this size?
Food is my diamond necklace!
And when you stop that nasty habit of smoking everything tastes that much better!

Wait... there is more!
Hubby bought me an orchid, a beautiful lavender colored one that came with instructions how NOT to kill it!
I always wanted one and so at only eight bucks we went for it!
After a few more short stops, including one at the bakery section of the best grocery in the south, Publix where Hubby purchased a doubled fudge chocolate cake. I hear you saying: how decadent of you both!

Wait there’s more: When we got home we still had one flick left to see in our rentals and since it was in to the ninety degree temps outside and so we sat back in our air-conditioning, relaxed and watched, Its Complicated, and it was good too!


Come on folks, you know he had that big job of making this day a VERY HAPPY ONE!
He succeeded and do you know what the icing on the cake was actually?
Our son, the elder one, that I thought would forget to call, well he didn’t!
Of course the hole in my heart from the other one not, is still in my heart, but I guess you could say I am batting in the fifty percentile and that aint too bad, huh?
Nah, I’ll take it!

Hope that all you Moms out there too had a VERY Happy Day!

Good night to you all and to all of you please count those blessings and we will too!
