I know there's been a lot of this going on. I'm not complaining about not getting a gift or anything like that. I know that my H has been working on a "project" with Micah, and I know that he also got me a gift. But I am a little bit upset because he's working tomorrow and I'm going to be stuck running around all day. My mom says she doesn't care if I come over or not, but I know that's not true. Besides, I'm really close with my mom and I want to see her. I want her to know that I appreciate her, and I know that if I don't come over she'll feel unappreciated (stupid, but true). And the only reason I'm going to MIL's is b/c DH's brother from out of state is in. And he never gets to see Micah so I think it's important that he be able to spend some time with him. It's just all that means that I will be spending my first Mother's Day running around all day, taking care of Micah by myself. And that's how I spent today because DH was working and I had a baby shower and a first communion party to go to. I'm exhausted and I really just want to stay home tomorrow, relax, maybe get a manicure and lounge around. But that ain't happenin'. Oh well. I just had to get that out. I know I'll actually have a good day tomorrow, and I've got it so much better than so many moms on this board, but I just needed to get that off my chest.
Oh,and Happy Mother's Day to all you ladies!
Re: Can I just vent for a minute (re: Mother's Day)
I went to visit my mom today so that I could do absolutely nothing tomorrow. My H works Saturday's and Sunday's so it will be just DD and I tomorrow. I told him I don't plan on cleaning...maybe just sweeping because DD is crawling so I like to keep the floor clean and I am not cooking so we are going to BBQ. The nice thing is on Saturday's and Sunday's he will take her from me when he get's home and I get a break. He will take DD to see his mom on Monday. I'm sorry that you will have to run around all day. Mother's day! Try to run around early and get home as soon as you can so you can relax.
