Mothers Day - Breakfast.

 At breakfast I presented mum with a card and a present. The card is a first mothers day card, obviously meant to be given from a baby rather than someone my age, but she knew why I chose it and thought it was nice, saying how she will keep it forever to remind her of the day she thought she would never have. Her present was just a simple bird nesting box that she was looking at one time when we were out. She was thrilled with both the present and said that I always surprise her. She didn't even think I was taking any notice when she was looking the nest box over in the garden center.

Breakfast went well, no burnt sausages or anything, although I had to tell mum off, because when she got up to leave the table she started clearing the things away. She stopped and laughed though when I asked dad if he could go to the barn and fetch me a piece of rope. She had remembered what I had said earlier about tying her hands up if she attempted to do anything today.

I got dressed up really nice for church, putting on makeup  and the lovely red dress mum and dad bought me for my adoption party with Irene that night. Even dad commented on how nice I looked and went as far as to say he wished he was coming to church with us just so he could feel proud be with two such beauties.

Because mum is barred from doing anything all day I put my learner plates on her car so that I was able to drive us both to church. She hasn't been in the car with me as a passenger for a while and commented how I had come on so well, adding that it was like being driven by a normal driver - whatever one of those is like!

I held mums hand as we walked down the path and in to church. She said I didn't need to go that far, "Of course I do, you're my mum and I love you."

Afterwards, when we were enjoying tea and biscuits mum was positively glowing with pride as everyone was saying how they liked my dress and how beautiful I looked. As always I got my Victoria sponge cake from Annette and extra biscuits from Moss.

Now we are just waiting for dad to finish getting ready as I am taking them both out to their favourite restaurant where they went the night dad proposed to mum. I already reserved a table and I am paying for everything with the money Uncle ken gave me for spreading the fertiliser for him the other week. I also have some more that dad put in when he opened my account should I need it. I will have to be having a quiet word with them about a pay rise if it all amounts to more than that!
