Tired hearing about Mother’s Day, yet? Yeah, me too. I mean, it’s not like I don’t appreciate being bombarded with a bazillion emails, reminding me that, you know, it’s Mother’s Day — the biggest “gift-giving” and “phone-calling” day of the year — because, I don’t.
Want any gifts or phone calls, I mean.
I did once, the following year after my oldest daughter was born, my husband Garth [not his real name] bought me a coffee mug that said, “I [heart] Mommy” with a little [heart] drawn in between. The [heart] has long been rubbed off, but I still use it, every day.
My oldest is 15 now [UGH, I don’t know how that happened, either] and we’ve since added a couple of mugs, or two, to our brood, so I guess, Mother’s Day just has a whole different meaning, is all.
I know it must for my mom and my mother-in-law.
While, they look forward to spending a quiet Mother’s Day surrounded by their family [i.e. grandchildren] all I want is to be, you know, left alone.
On the other hand, it’s just one day, right? Though, I really do try to remember that I love them, every day. Still. I can’t help but think that I’ll probably feel differently, in a few years. Especially, the first time when one of my kids “forgets” to call me for Mother’s Day.
So, instead, I have a gift for you, my mommy-type-blogging friends!
Snagged this video from Melissa [a.k.a. Suburban Scrawl] who I am officially naming my “mommy-porn muse” this week [you’re welcome!] because…YES!…me love the faces of Deadliest Catch…long time:
[Edited to Add: Video was made “private” after I posted this…sorry, he/she doesn’t want to share…but, here’s the original “cleaned-up” version from Discovery without the [bleeping!] DAMNIT. Still, my thoughts remain the same.]
Guess what ELSE we’re doing on Sunday? Go ahead, I’ll wait.
[heavy sigh]
Happy [bleeping] Mother’s Day, my friends!
