Mama Time


Yesterday was Mumsie's day. Usually it's spent with a nice dinner, flowers, cards, small gifts (I got my mom a sexy purple scarf). This mother's day was a lot more fun than usual. My sister came out from Winnipeg (yay!!) so she kept me company on our family dinner (with my 2 gramma's) at the golf course restaurant in the neighbouring town. Can I say that it was the most HILARIOUS dining experience of my life!

The server = clearly her first serving job and often made me wonder if it was her first social experience too. (Who asks how the food is when we don't even have plates in front of us!?)

The flower guy = came around giving out carnations to all the mom's. **Word of advice for all you guys out there...if you are going to buy a woman a flower, DO NOT BUY CARNATIONS!! They are the cheapest flower you can buy...it's a nice gesture, but really...** Anyway, this flower guy clearly was a nerd in high school and this was his chance to get the ladies attention that he never got :) Sorry buddy.

Many other things went on to cause me and my sister to practically pee our pants laughing (or trying not to) from the smoker voice lady saying "hello" to the extremely frazzled lady running the buffet. Our table conversation turned into talking about my gramma's and mom's past flames. Found out an interesting story about my gramma....think maybe I'll write a book about her soap opera life! Haha.

But, when all's said and done, the time's I really value is when I can just chill with my mom and share stories and crazy laughs. My mom, sister, and I curled up together on our guest bedroom bed and had wine and just talked about girl things. Not interesting for you guys, but these are mother-daughter moments that really make life awesome and show your mom in a whole new light. My mom is just a teen girl at heart. I love her.
