How was your weekend?

Mine was just OK.kinda hard. Found out friends of ours are having a baby. They are in no way ready in life to handle this and I guess I just get kinda frustrated why them not us? Saw mom and gram yesterday and wished them a happy mothers day and my grandma said well I guess I can't say the same to you huh?

Ugh....sorry this turned into more of a vent.

    For me it was better than last year! I was grieving our failed fertility treatments last mother's day, and this year I felt a lot "clearer" in our path, because we know we will be adopting. It made it a lot easier. BUT, I did cry when I saw a few of my friend's facebook updates, especially my sister-in-law.

    I started off strong, but as the day went I got sappier. I thought being in the wait for DIA and feeling confident in our decision to start a family though the gift of adoption would get me through. It was a bit more emotional then I anticipated as everywhere we went people asked if I had children so they could say happy mothers day. I wanted to say 'Yes, we have 5 angels' but they won't get it.

    I'm sorry about your grandma's comment.  Mine was hard too especially when the waitress wished me a happy mother's day and then saw that I didn't have a child with me.  She seemed sad after she said it to me.  I tried to focus on my little sister who is a mom.

    DH and I had a long talk about us becoming parents and it seemed like it could actually happen.  Maybe next year's Mother's Day will be different...

    As to my grandmother's comment--- I know! My mom just kind of looked at her, but she means well and honestly I don't even think she realized what she said.

    I hope we all have reason to celebrate next year! Big Smile

    I was feeling pretty low, but my friend and I got out of the house, had some drinks and went to see The Great Gatsby. I avoided facebook at all costs, ain't no one got time for that!
