the blind lead the blind

Whew. Made it through another mother's day. One thing i've come to terms with about myself is that i really don't like holidays. I'm not crafty, i don't like to entertain, i don't really like being around people, i don't like the stress of planning and i don't like attention drawn to me.
Every year, prior to this one, the kids have lovingly made me breakfast, woken me up with kisses and demanded that i eat "right now!" I don't like to eat first thing. I don't even like to eat second thing. I like to wake up, have coffee and ignore everyone for as long as possible. Or at least 15 minutes. I am not what one would call a morning person.
This year though i just told the kids "i don't want you to make me breakfast, i just want us to hang out together during the day." And, surprise, they were just fine with that.
And we did just that. Hang out. We went and browsed dollar stores and pet stores and they bought me lunch before i had to scurry off to work. It was a perfect day.
