Mother's Day Gifts

Today when I picked my kids up from Mother's Day Out, they both had little paper bags full of tissue paper...Mother's Day Gifts. Emma was busting at the seems wanting to open it but I told her we had to wait until Sunday. As I drove home I got to thinking about what was in those little bags...I've never been one for suprises. When Brad asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day I told him I wanted a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and he said NO, that it had to be jewelry or something along those lines. I thought about it and I realized I am more excited to get what is in those little bags then what material thing I will get from Brad..Not that I won't like what Brad gets me. I'm sure I'll LOVE it and it will be very nice (but I also bet it won't mix things) but at some point and time I became UNmaterialistic. WHOAH! When did that happen. I've gone from vain and materialistic to sentimental. I REQUESTED A MIXER for Mother's Day. Something that I will use when COOKING probably for my kids and husband, but that's what I really want and 6 years ago I would've wanted JEWELRY and the biggest and most expensive and now I want a mixer and what is in those little bags. I can't wait to see it. I know I'll love it forever and probably keep it forever. So I guess it's okay to be sentimental and NOT materialistic.
