Mother's Day

When I woke up this morning, I was expecting anything from my husband, but I thought I would at least he would day "Happy Mother's Day". Nothing, he said nothing! We got everyone ready and were late for church. He still said nothing to me and I will have to admit that I was in a pretty sour mood about it. Finally, when we were at church, he looked at me and said "I totally forgot today is mother's day, I am sorry". I wasn't very accepting of his apology and said something that I am not going to repeat.
When I went to Relief Society (for those who aren't Mormon, Relief Society is sort of like Sunday school, but it's just for women 18 years and older...it's amazing) my attitude completely changed. Adell (who is amazing) taught a lesson and entitled it Mothers: The Lord's Secret Weapon. It was really inspiring and made me realize that I was being ridiculous.
There was one part that I wanted to put on here. It's a song and Linsey Maxson sang it (one of the most amazing singers I've ever heard, really want to go see one of the plays she does or just a concert, I could listen to her all day). It's titled "In My Daughter's Eyes"
In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero.
I am strong and wise, and I know no fear.
But the truth is plain to see, she was sent to rescue me;
I see who I want to be, in my daughter's eyes.
In my daughter's eyes, everyone is equal.
Darkness turns to light, and the world is at peace.
This miracle God gave to me, gives me strength when I am weak;
I find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes.
And when she wraps her hand around my finger,
How it puts a smile in my heart.
Everything becomes a little clearer;
I realize what life is all about.
It's hanging on when your heart is has enough,
It's giving more when you feel like giving up.
I've seen the light.
It's in my daughter's eyes.
In my daughter's eyes, I can see the future:
A reflection of who I am and what will be.
And though she'll grow and someday leave,
Maybe raise a family, when I'm gone I hope you see
How happy she made me. For I'll be there-
In my daughter's eyes.

When we got home from church, Nick surprised me with flowers and a gift that he had hid last night. I had to eat some humble pie. He had been playing a prank on me, hadn't actually forgotten and I quickly informed him not to do it again.
