Where's my crown

Does the "Mother of the year" award recipient get a crown? I think I just might be in the running for it this year.
For Mother's day Duke took me out for a lovely morning walk.

Being the super mom that I am, I did not scold him for walking in as many mud puddles as he wanted to

When my daughter had these flowers delivered to me at work on Friday...

...complete with chocolate...
 ...I only for a mere 5 seconds made her think that I had left sick that day and didn't receive them.

And if all that isn't enough to prove how worthy I am of the award, there's one more thing.
When my son called to wish me a happy mother's day he asked me what I was doing. I said nothing, what are you doing today. His response?
No, it wasn't why I'm coming to visit you of course.
It was...
I'm having dad and Cindy (his dad's girlfriend) over for dinner.
I ever so graciously bit my tongue. Now if that alone doesn't qualify me for mother of the year I don't know what does.
No matter, award or not, I have these gorgeous flowers to look at. Thank you Amanda and Ian
Yes, these are the same gorgeous flowers that I shared with you yesterday.

They are budding out very nicely. Excellent. Biting your tongue qualifies you as mother of the year. Just saying.

Have a terrific day and tell Duke he's so very handsome. :)

Sharkbytes said...

Very nice flowers! You are definitely a MOY!

Donna said...

Ack, I can't believe your son! OK, have Duke upchuck on his carpet the next time you go over there to his place. That will even the score just a smidgen. The flowers are gorgeous! And YUM those chocolates look delicious!

Helen said...

Beautiful flowers! and the chocolate mmm.......

Beebeebabs said...

Beautiful flowers & yummy candy - hope you enjoyed your Mother's day

Ginny Hartzler said...

Your son had dinner with his dad and dad's girlfriend on Mother's Day and didn't see you? O.K. for the first time I'm going to keep my mouth shut and not say a thing. It's better that way. I'm sorry.

Biting the tongue..it never ends does it. You are a true mother..God bless you! :D

Chatty Crone said...

Well I don't like to say bad things - so I'll be quiet.

You do deserve the MOTHER OF THE YEAR AWARD! Congrats on receiving it!

Your flowers were lovely and what can I say about chocolate! YUM!

Thats no surprise though since I'm also the kid who bought you the Cricet last year ;) It's nice being the good kid now. Love ya!

Unknown said...

Yeah, like I need to hear anymore about just how wonderful you are. It ain't fair.

Duni said...

You definitely deserve the crown, Ann! Those flowers are so beautiful. I love how you made them look 'painted' in your previous post.

Philippa said...

We're all with you, Ann - of COURSE you deserve the crown!

Marg said...

Yup, we certainly think you deserve a crown. Mainly cause you let Duke take you for a walk. That was the best but biting your tongue came pretty close. Have a great day.

Russ said...

That's it Ann. We have declared you Mother of the Year! Isn't it funny how each child is different. But no matter what we still love them. No matter how much they hurt us. Hope you had a good Mothers Day besides that.

Catherine said...

Mother of the Decade I think!! But look at your lovely flowers and yummy looking chocolate!!!!

sigh.... motherhood.... it truly is the toughest job on the planet no? It seems ridiculous that there is only one Mother's Day a year. ;)

xo Catherine

Anne said...

I think biting your tongue definitely qualifies you for mother of the year, not to mention your fabulous treatment of Duke all year round.

There are lots of Moms to spread that cheer to as with your son, but I am sure you are in the top rankings. Perhaps Queen for a Day.Queen Ann, it has a ring to it.

Bossy Betty said...

Your crown has been ordered and is on its way. You deserve it!

Tanyia said...

lol I think all the above reasons qualify you for sure! hehe.I am pretty certain you get a crown, too!

Christmas-etc... said...

Mother of the year award, most definitely! (But here I had you being in your 20's and you have grown children!! - now that's really good!!)
Blessings, Ann!
Ann

Sheryl Hastings said...

Those flowers are beautiful! What a great Mother's Day gift. But what did Duke get besides his walk? He wants a Mother's Day gift too!

DSS said...

You certainly DO deserve the mother of the year award :) I know Duke thinks so. Lovely flowers, and so fun to see them in "regular" lighting after the neat affects from the previous post!

Boo hiss on your son. Men just don't get it do they? Mother's Day is supposed to be ALL about you :)

Leeuna said...

Love the flowers. And I now I am craving chocolate. Duke looks like he is having a great time with his mommy on Mother's Day. Yes, you get the crown this year. ;)
