Memories of Mom

[singlepic id=367 w=450]

While this probably should be a post about how wonderful my mom is (and she IS wonderful), I wanted to do a special twist on it. I asked my mom to tell me about her memories of Mother’s Day. Good and bad. So I asked her to share the story of her most memorable Mother’s Day. This is what she said.

All 5 of us (my mom, dad, me and my two sisters) decided to go out for dinner for Mother’s Day which was going to be a real treat with 3 little girls. I think Cassie (my youngest sister) may have been about 14 months. We went to a nice restaurant EARLY to beat some of the crowd. All the girls were dressed up for the occasion. I was excited to be having a meal out on Mother’s Day at a nice restaurant.

From there it went downhill.

We were seated right away, our order was taken and the girl’s food was brought out. Of course they were hungry so they ate. We waited and waited a LONG time for our food. By the time our food was brought out the girls were finished eating and didn’t want anything to do with being patient while Mom and Dad ate. So, we ended up getting our meals in “to go boxes” and took everyone home.

I was so disappointed.

After getting everyone out of the car and in the house I put on my shoes and went for a long walk and let Dad deal with the girls. So much for an enjoyable meal together on Mother’s Day. But the walk was really nice all by myself.

I don’t think we attempted to go to a nice restaurant again for quite some time with the girls except for McDonald’s.

I vaguely remember this happening, I was about 4.5 years old I think. Ahhh, memories.

What was your most memorable Mother’s Day?
