The one for this year says, "thanks for the tender, loving care." My daughter picked it up and looked at it and said, "is this sarcastic?" Me, "Yep." I doubt my mother will get it, but the rest of the family will. I searched a really long time for an honest card, but just couldn't find any. So, going with sarcastic for this year.

I'm going to find something cute at the dollar store and put the gift and the card in the mail. Even though I live next door. I told her repeatedly that if she wanted to see me, she just needed to call and tell me that my sister and her husband aren't home and that I can come by. I told her that if she didn't call, I would assume that she see didn't wish to see me. She hasn't called. I even had my daughter take ginger snaps that I made up to her yesterday. Still no call - not even a quick one to say thank you.
