Botched Roadshow Turned into Mother's Day Bliss

On Sunday morning while I was still in deep slumber, I was dreaming about being in a roadshow. My turn was going to go on the stage and I totally had forgotten my lines. I was panicking and sweating bullets. I kept telling everyone that I couldn't go on because I had no clue what I was going to say. I mumbled something about remembering to say "Divine Nature", but that was it. Then a moment not too soon, I was pulled out of this dream by two angelic voices singing "Happy Mother's Day to you"...and I immediately smelled an heavenly breakfast that was placed so nicely on the breakfast tray. ROD'S FAMOUS OMELETTE! What could be a better way to start the Mother's Day than his yummy food and Alex's poetic card. I quickly propped myself up against the pillows so I could take it all in. My men are the best. They treat me like a queen.

First Alex handed me his card and it read: (try to hold back the tears)

"Happy Mother's Day"

"Only and hour:"
Your love is like a flower,
It blossoms in under an hour.
Your love burns inside me, defines me,
and shows me the way.
But even though your hair might just be turning a little gray,
I will always love you..As long as you don't let some
explosive diarrhea ruin your day."

Tears were welling up in my eyes at the first part but then not so much during the latter part of the poem. What a funny, funny guy.
Alex's gift was


Then Rod gave me his card, which read:
".....I know how hard you work, and how much running our small family makes you do. Because of that, I've hired a cleaning woman to begin this Tuesday. She will come to our home twice per month, or as you see fit....."

I was ecstatic!!!

The other gift from Rod was Michael Kors "Island Fiji".

Now I can smell really good while cooking for my family in my clean house. What could be better than that!

The explosive diarrhea part wasn't so sweet, but I would allow for that after the words "your love burns inside me, defines me"
That is really sweet.

Happy Mother's Day, Marja!
