Today was a very special day. I was invited to a Mother’s Day Tea in my daughter’s first grade classroom. I knew it would be special, because Rachel informed me that I needed to “dress fancy”. Each mom was greeted at the door with a single red rose from their child. We were then escorted to our special “spa station”, which looked remarkably like a child’s desk. Rachel treated me to a wonderful manicure and painted my stubby fingernails with the perfect shade of blue to match my “fancy outfit”. She proceeded to shower me with hand made gifts and pictures. Soon it was time for sweet tea and a yummy blueberry muffin. Afterwards, the kids all sang a very special Mother’s Day song. What a wonderful way to start the weekend! I love being a mom!
