I am officially befuddled

sethrakRight behind the schoolbus dropping off my boys was a FedEx truck, delivering flowers addressed to me.
I initially assumed it was a random moment of awesome from Tom. Before we lived here, he'd just stop at a store on the way home from work and grab some flowers, but since we live in base housing and there's nowhere on base that sells flowers, even in the 24-48 hour crunch before Valentine's Day, other measures are required.
I was incorrect.
Return address is the flower company.
Card inside says merely "Love, Mom and Dad".
NO indication whatsoever as to whether this is from my estranged parents, or from my in-laws.
Either way, the timing's wierd. Valentine's Day is next week. My birthday's next month.
It COULD be a salvo in Mom's passive-aggressive "I'll ignore you telling me not to contact you unless I agree to meet you halfway in addressing our mother-daughter relationship's problems, but I'll do it so gradually you'll have to cave in" campaign. But it could just be my MIL being awesome and the flower company getting the timing off for Valentine's Day.
I have no freaking clue.
