On mother's day, Danny took Michael with him to go spend the day with Danny's mom at a family picnic in VA. That left Lauren and me to ourselves. What bliss! We could not remember the last time it was just us all day.
We began our day with a long walk with the dogs. Got ready for church and on our way, Lauren treated me to breakfast at Waffle House. We giggled at the sight of how over dressed we were for the meal in our church clothes. Since we were so early for church, we decided to hit the Target to do some shopping. She bought gifts for friends upcoming birthdays. I bought shampoo and thank you cards.
We praised and worshipped God together and held hands during prayer. We confessed we fell asleep during the same prayer. We ate leftovers for lunch. She gave me four small paintings she did that were her own rendition of Rothkos and they are lovely. I know this was deeply meaningful and thoughtful of her. We lounged about during the afternoon while I finished my book and she did some homework and drew.
We researched sandals online that she needed for her costume for an upcoming Anime convention. We headed to Belk and then Kmart and she found what she needed. We returned home and scrounged up the rest of the leftovers for dinner and ate while watching TV. We talked a lot. SHE talked a lot. It was good to be her mother and it was good for her to be my daughter.
My perfect mother's day ended with us getting into an argument. Of course. But no matter, it was the best mother's day for me.
