Mother's Day, Hooray!

Mother's Day is such a, well, regular day. What happened?

When I was little, our family used this day as a HUGE celebration for our family. Of course, my mom got all these roses and cards from us (mine always being the best) and we would go out and do everything together.

I remember this one year, I might have been six or seven, and my dad had this big reservation for our family. After our church service, we were forced to get all dressed up and ready because we were going to eat at a big mother's day brunch in this huge center. I can't really remember the details, but I just know there were a bunch of other dressed up familys and that I ate a lot of food. Very good food, of course.

This year, it crept up on me. I was working at my job about three days ago, and one of my work friends was like, "What are you getting your momma for momma's day?". I started freaking out! I had nooo idea what to get her or anything because I had no time to go and shop for something nice, and I also found out that I had to work mother's day, basically the whooole day. So for the rest of my shift, I was trying to figure it all out. What is quick and easy to get, but also thoughtful and nice? Hmmm? All of a sudden, one of my other work friends walks in and starts making a quart of yogurt and writing happy mother's day on it. BRILLIANT. I knew my mom loved our yogurt that we make, and with me working on Mother's day, I could just buy it on my way out so she would never see it!

So today, I worked and grapped a half-gallon of strawberry yogurt, her favorite, and drove home. Running inside, I put the yogurt in the freezer and called my mom upstairs. Before I knew it, she was smiling and happy, so surprised that I had gotten this for her!

Mission accomplished.
