Mothers Day

March 21st is middle eastern Mother's Day.  Here is a much bigger event then in America.  Gold and money are the biggest gifts.  The day before, bill picked the boys up from school and was a bit later then expected coming home.  Zaky comes in the kitchen saying "nothing going on here yada yada yada"" (funny that word is not corrected in spell check).  The next morning at 5am I hear Zaky walking across the living room holding something crinkly in sound.  I start to get up with him when Zaky tells me "no mama you stay sleeping, it's daddy's turn to get up." No arguing with that, especially being up a lot during the night with Anna Lena who had fever and my own stuffed up nose.  Jonas comes in about 30 minutes later jumping on me to give me a sweetie "wasn't that nice of me" he says.  So sweet they made my coffee and breakfast, a nice card and flowers!  And not to feel left out from the rest of the Arab female population, they left me the dishes and clean up also.  I am blessed.
