Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms, Grandmas, Great-Grandmas, and the special people who aren’t family but have been a mother to us.

I got a call from my mom yesterday. She got the card I sent – a cute one with Snoppy on the front. I’m the kind that likes mushy sentimental cards, but Mom likes the funny ones. My parents live in Florida in a really nice retirement complex. I don’t get to see them very often.

Today has started off very nicely. My son took me to see the 11am showing of Star Trek. He knows I don’t like crowds and don’t really enjoy going to the theatre, but after a good talking to myself I screwed up my courage and went. And I’m very glad I did. It was a great movie and a lot of fun to do something with Dave.

On a side note, he’s been through a lot with me and anxiety attacks, agoraphobia, etc. But he’s always been patient. Couldn’t ask for a better son and it makes Mother’s Day very special.

We stopped back at my place to pick up Bootsy “da pup” as we call him. We then went and picked up lunch, and now it’s nap time. Oh, and watching the Cubs, of course. Tonight we’ll put in an order for pick up at one of the best Italian restaurants in the area and watch the finale of The Amazing Race.

All-in-all a very nice and enjoyable Mother’s Day. Hope yours was as well.
