Oy!
I must have caught a bug or something because I’ve been coughing and achy all week long. I did enjoy my Valentines Day. My boys and I had lunch at The Cheescake Factory and they gave me a card that read “I’m so glad I take after you..” That made me cry. I think they like to see my reaction when they give me a gift. I always cry and it’s always sincere. It’s so good to be thought of and appreciated.
When I cry, my boys just look at me with a weird expression and ask, “Why are you crying Mama?”
“Cuz I’m so happy,” I’ll reply between sniffles.
They shake their heads and then give me a hug.
My boys are so great! Once I took them to McDonald’s for breakfast and when I put our food down, they immediately started to help me by placing my straw in my orange juice cup and pouring the syrup over my pancakes for me. I was dumbfounded.
“You always take such good care of me!” I exclaimed.
“That’s because we love you Mama,” my older son said.
Sometimes I wonder whose kids these are. I never taught them to take care of a woman like that but even my 5 year old will talk about how he can’t wait to be married and take care of his wife. I can’t wait to see what good men they become.
Maybe there’s hope for the male gender after all…
