For Mother's Day, I quite literally wrote my mother a book! Usually, she buys herself things from us. She knows what she wants, and when my brother and I were younger, instead of Dad getting her something from the kids, she would just get something she liked. It was easier that way. It just never stopped when we were "old enough" to get her something ourselves.
I hate buying her jewelry because she gets herself jewelry & we have completely opposite tastes so it is always a hit or miss. Sometimes we get our nails done, go out to dinner, or see a show or something. I wanted to physically give her something, though. I love writing, so this write-your-mom-a-book idea seemed really cool.
Cool, indeed! Writing this book was hard work, I tell you! Some of the pages look like this:
Really?
...there are 40 more, some a little more helpful than the one above, and others just as open-ended. I had fun doing it, but man did it take me a while! I'm very glad to have finally given it to Mom because it has been riding along in my car with me (or my purse) so that when inspiration struck, I could frantically write things down in this deceptively small book.
Message of the Day: Happy Mother's Day!
