Gird your loins, ladies... it has already started.
I was sending my mom a gift this morning at the post office and the lovely woman helped me wished me a happy Mother's Day. I almost lost it.
I live on campus at a private school and am "on duty" this weekend. I realized that the only reason I am on this weekend is because I'm one of the only 2 people on our staff that doesn't have their mom close by and isn't a mother herself. Awesome, double whammy.
Extra hugs to everyone this weekend! I'll be walking around with a large bottle of wine... ![]()

I'm right there with you OP... my mom is 750 miles away (bummer moving out of state). But instead of working (which definitely sucks any weekend) I get to go to a bridal and baby shower (baby shower is for my husband's cousin who right up front described the baby as an 'oops' and not something they were ready for... rubs salt in the wound). All this while my husband parties it up at a bachelor weekend and I stay with his parents. Joy.
I also am a fan of measuring wine by the bottle instead of the glass... Drink up and good luck with your rough weekend!
