With no mother to spend the day with and no husband to
encourage my kids to celebrate the holiday, I didn’t have the highest hopes for
this Mother’s Day. I couldn’t have been
more wrong. Apparently 12 years old is
when you start realizing there are people in the world besides yourself. My daughter not only shopped online WITH her
brother and ordered me the sweetest, most Jenn-like gifts, but they gave me a
great morning. Ten hours of uninterrupted
sleep (woohoo!!) and then Hannah made me breakfast, encouraging Nicky to
help. I’m really touched and proud at
what a thoughtful, awesome girl I have.
We had a fantastic day of family Rock Band, running the
dunes (which they hate, but I love) without complaint, and then we had a lovely
dinner followed by cuddling. I feel
immensely proud to have created kids who are compassionate and caring enough to
ensure my Mother’s Day was amazing. I’m
honored to be the mother of Hannah and Nicholas Thompson.
