King For A Day…………

Well Saturday my daughters Sparks group had a mother daughter day.  It was absolutely splendid…………I had so much fun and me suggestion all of what we did really made me feel good.

I guess I should start by saying that my daughter goes to school with the Sparks leaders daughter…………….they are friends and have playdates and such so Margaret calls me quite often and we have become friends over the past few months so she calls one morning to ask if I could think of suggestions for the mother daughter day…………..so I say give a while and I’ll get back you……..It was early in the morning and my brain was still asleep which is the way it is most days………….lol

Anyway I searched some things on the net and added my own things and well she decided to pick from the list of things I had suggested which I was really pleased with………………….so she decided on doing a scrapbooking page and the mothers bringing some pictures of them together and doing a cute little page together……………which was fantastic because it’s a memory I will have forever especially cause I let my daughter do it all herself I just helped with sticky tape and such………….lol………………and we also planted a flower/seeds in a nice glass vase type thing with some ribbons on it………..we also had some young teenagers come in and do the girls hair and paint their nails which of course my daughter loved because she is soooooooooooo girlie……………..This day was perfect!!

Well there was one downer but it wasn’t anything my daughter did or anything like that it was two of the other parents and one of them being the other leader for the group not the leader that I was friends with!!  This is what happened…….

I also took it upon myself to go to the Dollarama store across town to pick up some scrapbooking stickers and such to have for everybody……………….nobody asked me to do it I just thought it was a nice gesture and that it was something to spruce up the pages cause I love to scrapbook and I know there are things that would just make the page more special besides just putting the pictures on and such!!!  And of course I paid for it out of my own pocket and expected nothing in return and I had enough for everyone to have two photo corners for each photo and some extra stickers like stars and flowers………………I didn’t tell anyone that I had purchased them or anything I just handed them out and told them that they could use them if they wanted to…………….

But these to ladies actually complained that they didn’t have enough……………..are you serious……………..these weren’t even purchased by Margaret they were purchased by me and donated to everyone so that they could make there picture more special……………I thought I was doing a good thing…………….and they totally brought me down cause I really just wanted this day to be special for everyone instead they turn it in to greed………………it was heartbreaking to me………….and they are saying this in front of their children…………….that’s not a lesson I want my daughter to learn…………….why do people act this way!!!

I also baked a cake and cupcakes and decorated it as well……………….something else I volunteered to do because I wanted to and I wanted to make the day more special…………….for everyone…………….after all it was suppose to be about spending time with your daughter!!  I will attach a picture at the bottom…………….

Maybe I was just trying to hard because after all I am the new mother as we only moved here in November and I was trying to show people that I am just……………..well ME………………

Besides having my feeling hurt by these women I had a fantastic day with my daughter and realized I should do it more often and that’s what she needs especially since we have two other children that demand my attention……………I think from now on I will take her out once a month and have a mother daughter day and I will do this with my other daughter as well………it’s lesson well learned and I’m glad I learned it now rather than later!!!
