Ughhhhh. Mother's Day. I hate Mother's Day. Love my mother, love my
mothers-in-law, just loathe Mother's Day. Every year it seems this holiday
gets bigger and bigger, and every year I feel like I am on the outside looking
in; as if I have a permanent seat at the kid's table. Is it just me, or
is this holiday on steroids this year? Every channel on TV, every radio
program, every commercial, every store front- even Duane Reade is ALL about
Mother's Day. I can't even shop online. Oh the horror! But seriously, it isn't
even the commercialized sentiment that annoys me, it's the fact
that I am totally left out of this thing! I love holidays, I love getting
gifts, why can't I get in on this? My husband tells me I have a tendency to
"mother" everyone. Well if that's the case then I DEFINITELY think I
should get some flowers as well as a nice piece of jewelry. Why do people with
kids get to have all the fun? I may just send myself a nice bouquet of flowers as a
pat on the back for all the mothering I do. Because in the end, I think this
day should be more about thanking the women in your life who take such good care of you (and
vice versa) than whether or not you gave birth.
So on that note, happy Mother's Day to you all!
