There are times in every mother’s life when she feels under appreciated and misunderstood. Times when she just thinks that no one notices what she does during the day. It appears that my boys do indeed notice.
My 3 oldest rode their bikes to Target the other day, allowance money burning holes in their lizard-filled pockets. They came home with whatever items interest boys… and a card that they spied and immediately thought of me.
Since it is not my birthday, they had to improvise a little bit…
I opened it up to find:
My favorite line is Devin’s query: We don’t need to remind you to buy wine, do we?
Turkeys! While laughing my ass off, I tried to decide whether I should smack them or give them great big hugs.
I opted for the latter.
Myya says
You are DEFINITELY doing something right! How often do kids, especially teen boys think of thier mom while shopping with thier own money. Great guys you’ve got there!!!
Shawn says
Awwww how sweet was that? For no reason they thought of you and bought you that very appropriate card…choking up here
Ali says

sitting on the mood swing at the playground says
So, so sweet! Sounds like you’ve got some great guys in your house!
Lori E says
You know it gets even better…mine are old enough to buy me wine and one is a bartender so he can margarita me at a moments notice.
I dun razed ’em good.
Lynn says
Sweet! And you DID get the wine, right?
Carmen says
