I dont particularly care for Mothers Day. I have to purchase a card or gift for a lady that was abusive and that I now help to care for. Its tuff to find a card that is nice,but not mushy about what a great mom she is.
I have a house full of children who are finally growing up and choosing their own way. I refer to Mother's Day as "not a mommy day". My mother in law says "tell me the other 364 days what a great person I am". I pretty much feel the same way. If you think that I am a great mom then tell me one of the OTHER days. Take a moment to thank me for raising you when I am not expecting it.
I love my furbaby! she lays beside me knawing on her rawhide chew or my fingers or licking my face just because she loves me. She kisses my nose in the morning or curls up next to me just because she wants to be held and isnt in a hurry to go anywhere else.
So for each of us that really don't like the Hallmark holiday called "Mother's Day" we have our furbabies that love us just because we are us. |
