We had such a great day but for some reason after they went to bed, I felt the need to clean out closets...again...on mother's day...why??? <br /><br />Have a great day!<br />BelleBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216941806907177541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-82765365739191266982009-05-11T07:15:00.000-07:002009-05-11T07:15:00.000-07:00To look at it from a fifferent perspective, I gues...To look at it from a fifferent perspective, I guess my only hope for my future as a MIL is that my daughter-in-law like to share their husbands with me.Cidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915993866394084808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-63739939205120164522009-05-11T05:52:00.000-07:002009-05-11T05:52:00.000-07:00Our anniversary is May 25, which on that year was ...Our anniversary is May 25, which on that year was the day before Memorial Day (I was being a thoughtful bride...nobody had to take off a day before or after our wedding for travel). However, in the nearly 23 years we've been married, about 10 of our anniversaries have been spent at the ballpark (and usually not the same ballpark), or working like soldiers to prepare for giant graduation bashes, but mainly just thankful we made it through another day. And since I wasn't a working mother when my kids were little, my greatest gift was a day away from the house all by myself. I think yesterday is the first Mother's Day in recent history that I can remember that I didn't hit the mall. And that is only because I was exhausted from hosting yet another kick ass party for our friend's retirement. I think there were at least 100 people in my backyard at one point Saturday night!<br /><br />My MIL's birthday is at the end of April so she always gets the shaft for a birthday/mother's day combo gift. But since she's not my mother and she drives me up the freaking wall (can you say pentecostal?), I don't feel too guilty about it!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575824415627306078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-25331463007807234342009-05-11T05:35:00.000-07:002009-05-11T05:35:00.000-07:00This cracks me up because I have no children but a...This cracks me up because I have no children but am constantly thinking about the small ways my MIL gets under my skin. You know, just not really thinking things through...ugh.<br /><br />Happy Belated Mother's Day to you :)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882162934243862918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656348557370314559.post-65168265130375868612009-05-10T19:24:00.000-07:002009-05-10T19:24:00.000-07:00Wow - that's all a bit thoughtless on the part of ...Wow - that's all a bit thoughtless on the part of the other family members, even if they are perhaps only trying to be the opposite. Although I can't really see how recognizing only the MIL as "mother" on mother's day accomplishes that.<br /><br />as you might imagine, I spent Mother's Day changing diapers, watching in dismay as spit up coursed down my child's neck and onto my pants then the couch, listening to whining, and grocery shopping.
