OOOPS

My husband is constantly on the phone.  Constantly.  Unfortunately he can't help it because of his work and even though it is totally annoying it is something that I have had to get used to.  He is busy busy busy all the time and often gets sidetracked.
Which leads me to this:  for Mothers Day he went to the store and got two cards, one for me and one for his mom.  We still have not seen his mom and so the card last night was sitting on the countertop in the kitchen not filled out and not in the envelope yet.  I thought I would read it.  So I did and here is what it said:

MOM, My heart remembers,
I know I get sidetracked (totally)
with all that's happening in my life,
but my heart remembers who it was
who listened to my endless stories,
who held me tight, (awww so sweet)
and assured me there would be other boys, (huh?)
other dances, other friends.. (um pretty sure this was meant for a daughter to give to her mom?)
and so on

I was laughing so hard that I of course ran and told Matt his mistake (because Im sure when he picked this out he was half reading the card and let me guess probably on the phone) and he thought it was pretty funny too.  BUT now I'm so mad that I said anything because it would have been so funny if he would have given that to his mom..
So I guess its dangerous not only to talk on the phone while you drive but also when you pick out cards.

Each week at Bailey's school they have a theme.  Last week the theme was "All about Mommy".  So they did all sorts of stuff that had to do with moms.  One of the things they did was go to each kid and ask them what their mommy's favorite food was.  They put it on a poster and put it on the front door so when you walk into the room its the first thing you see.  It went something like this:


Alivia's Mom:  Asparagus
Zoey's Mom:  Chicken
Tyson's Mom:  Noodles
Sienna's Mom:  Broccoli
and then it went on an on and at the very bottom it says
Bailey's Mom:  French Fries


Seriously, I don't eat french fries that much!!  Rarely unless were at a restaurant and my meal comes with Fries do I eat fries.  So anyways I look like a great influence on my 2 year old right?


The next day when I go to pick her up there is a new poster outside and it says "What I like to do with mommy"


Alivia:  Play outside
Kelly:  Go to the park
Emma:  Cook
Luke:  Play with my toys
Jaden: Read
Bailey: Go to McDonald's


ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?  Seriously does she want child services to come pick her up and take her away??  We don't even eat there hardly at all and that's her favorite thing to do?  In my defense they did say that she said something else first but they couldn't understand her (which I translated for them and she did say "play outside with chalk)  but since they couldn't understand her they asked her again and she said go to McDonald's.  What can you do?  I guess it is pretty funny!  
Hope all of you moms had a great Mothers Day!!
