Today we celebrate all mothers. Being a mom isn't easy, at least for me it isn't. We as moms have to arrange almost everything in our household and besides that we also have to work, part-time or full-time, keep the house clean, buy gifts for parties, makes sure that everything goes according to plan and everyone is where he needs to be on time. Everything falls apart when we are sick, so we can't be sick, there is no time for :)
My kids made me the most beautiful presents, which I think are ALWAYS the best ever!
DH took me out to get some new shoes and clothes to take with me to Italy the end of this month :)
This morning Anthony woke me up EARLY!!! to wish me a happy mother's day. I said thank you sweetie, now get back to bed and return when it is a decent time....which he did, pweh!
We were on the beach at 9 am and it already started to get busy. We put so much sun lotion on ourselves that we didn't got burned...although we didn't get a real tan either :(
But we had a great time. In the end we went for an ice-cream and I could swear I paid with 50 Euro(thinking I wanted to break the money so I would have some change in my wallet) the woman who had made my ice-creams gave me back 1,50 to make it 10 Euro. So I said to her, i do like you but not THAT much. I gave you 50, so you still owe me 40 Euro. She said: No you gave me 10 Euro. I looked in my wallet again to see if I was mistaken, if the 50 Euro was still in there...which it wasn't . So I said: No sorry I did give you 50 Euro. She started to talk loud and nasty to me, so i said Ooooooooo.k ..and I turned around to the man that came to see what all her shouting was about....and let her talk to the air and said to him: I want you to call me after you counted all your money tonight. If there is 40 euro above what you had to make I want to be called. I explained to him what happened. I was still calm. I said to the man I was talking to that I didn't appreciated to be talked to like that by her and that I didn't think this was normal behavior for someone to treat a customer this way, to talk to a customer this way. Than the woman said: Well that you do not own any money, that is not my fault! She was still shouting and it was very crowded with people. I turned to the her and said: I so want to trow this ice-cream now right into your face, you hysterical PEEEEEEEEEEEP. she stood there and said: Well go ahead, what are you waiting for!!! tempting tempting.......VEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRy tempting, but I controlled myself although I REALLY wanted to trow her the ice-cream right into her face. I again turned to the man I was talking to who wrote down my phone number, and said to him, do you really think this is normal!!!? still thinking he was the boss and I was in shock that he didn't said anything to her, just nothing! Than some man also started to get into the conversation all agitated. And I said well whatever I do not expect a call from you even if I was right. I turned around....and what do I do? I start crying. I HATE IT WHEN I DO THAT, HATE IT!!! I have one problem all my life and that is that I feel very small when I have the feeling that someone isn't taking me serious. I did however made sure that SHE couldn't see me crying, that would had made her day.
When we got back Home the phone rang. It was the last man that came into the conversation. He was the boss, not the older man. He apologized and he wanted me to return my money without checking if it was right or wrong. I told him I appreciated that but that it wasn't at all for me about the money, but the way that woman behaved to me which was totally not acceptable to do. He also said that I was right and it should never had happened. He was making sure someone was bringing the money to my home tonight. By this telephone call I again felt that I was taking serious.
In the late afternoon we went to see my mom and I gave her this:
This wall-hanger was so fast and easy to make! I mostly used the Trendsetter Collection from SIStv. I cut the Prima Paintable in 4 pieces and used some purple watercolor that was in the kit on it. Glued the pieces on Chipboard and cut holes in them on top and at the bottom with my crop-a-dille. Later I made it one piece by putting ribbon through the holes, so it could hang.
After I added text(LOVE the this Alphabet from Prima as well!) and glued down the photo's and other embellishments i finished it off with some touches of glitter!
My Mom loved it!
Here is my wedding card for Maya Road:
Hope you all had a great day!
