This is where I’m currently set up…
With my ever-trusty chair…
Yes, I realize it’s Mother’s Day, and no, the team doesn’t take breaks for such days. They practiced the weekend of Easter, although Chicky had Prom so she was home. The girls will be playing in the Final Four next weekend, so they had to practice. With the team scattered all over the state, it’s important that they get together every couple of weekends each month to practice.
Now, you’d think that Chicky would have lovingly greeted me with a “Happy Mother’s Day, Mama. I’m so thankful for everything you do for me, and I love you.”
But no, this is Chicky we’re talking about. She keeps her feeling buried way down deep.
She did manage a, “Hurry up. We’re running late. I knew I should have eaten breakfast in the hotel.”
Oh yeah. That’s what I’m talking about. Nothing like a few endearing comments from the child you went through four weeks of bedrest, 39 additional pounds on your 5’3″ frame, and nine hours of labor to give birth to.
Not to mention hours upon hours of reading and being read to, staying up all night to hold wash clothes on a sweat-laden neck while said child was bent over a porcelain bowl puking her guts out from some stomach bug, school projects, soccer practices and games…and now college visits.
Love you too, Honey.
As Chicky got out of the car at the fields, she came back and handed me my present…
It’s supposed to be a good movie, from all I’ve heard. A sweet gesture, even if it wasn’t accompanied with a hug. It was her way of telling me she loves me. I get it.
Wherever you are, whether it be on a soccer field, a cozy home, or even work, I wish you a Happy Mother’s Day. Kids usually do not fully appreciate the gift that God gave them, but from one mom to another, I appreciate you. So will our children…when they become parents themselves.
