So, I am posting this HILARIOUS Mother's Day story I once read, to hopefully cheer you up! Here it is:
So, we had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died. Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on this mat in our bathroom.
Well we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years old, 3 years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves chapstick. LOVES it. He kept asking to use my chapstick and then losing it. So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my chapstick and how he could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to put it right back in the drawer when he was done.
Last year on Mothers Day, we were having the typical rush around and try to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys are fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to nurse my little one at the same time I am putting on my make-up. Everything is a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood.
We finally have the older one and and the baby loaded in the car and I am looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the corner to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was applying my chapstick very carefully to Jacks . . . rear end. Eli looked right into my eyes and said chapped. Now if you have a cat, you know that he is righttheir little butts do look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack didnt seem to mind.
And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cats behind or the hundredth.
And THAT is my favorite Mothers Day moment ever because it reminds us that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there will always be that day when you realize theyve been using your chapstick on the cats butt.
I did have a good mothers day. My DH and I took our oldest DGD who is 2 out to the park went and go ice cream dropped by a friend house it was so cool to just watch our grand daughter explore. There was no fighting no yelling it was great. To the OP I am sorry you had such a bad mothers day why would the make games on mothers day. Oh well next year tell them that what you want and then make it happen. Happy mothers day to everyone.
