i am finding as the kids get older, mothers day is sadder for me. i guess i liked the fussing that they do when they are small. xsbrownie is still wonderfully excited and tried very hard to make the day special. the 13 yo and 16 yo made me cards and said happy mothers day, but it is so different than when they were little and all excited. so i can imagine how you felt, i would have been sad also.

xsbrownie made a beaded bracelet at school for mothers day. i wore it on M Day but then forgot to put it on this week (for one thing it has a screw on clasp, which i can't do myself) and she was so disappointed yesterday that i had not worn it to work so this AM i had her put it on my wrist herself. it doesn't match a thing i own, but i will wear it every day : )
