and it was good

Zack woke up, singing an impromptu ditty about 'muffins with Mom, muffins with Mom', in preparation for a special breakfast hosted by his class to honor, you guessed it, Moms.

He sang. He harassed his sister, on her case to get ready already.

He insisted that I stop by Peet's coffee for a Black Sheep Bakery Vegan muffin, so I wouldn't be left out.

And we sat on foot high chairs; Zack held a stack of books to read to me, I ate my special pastry. He pointed out students I had worked with, just the day before, because at 7, it is simply a treat, bringing a parent to school.

Later some women at Jazzercise, a little further down the path, were lamenting that their grown children forget to call. Don't really keep in touch anymore. Especially their sons.

I know it happens.

But today, I was a queen. Heralded. Admired.

I'm tucking this day in my pocket, and savoring it. To be so lucky.

(And coming up in June...Donuts with Dad. First grade is a hoot.)

We have both of those days are my kids' school, and it's so sweet.

What a sweet memory.

Happy Mother's Day!
I always feel like the dads get shafted because school ends like right before Father's Day. At least, here it does.

Happy Mother's Day!!

What a perfect day, I love it. We homeschool so I occasionally find myself a little jealous of things like this. Then I make them help me with the laundry and it all seems fair again. :P

I think if you raise 'em right, they'll stay your kids and in touch.
