This year is significant for a 2 reasons, 1-its the first for my family without my grandmother. I don't think today was as hard as I imagined it would be. I think I was so planned with things to do I didn't allow myself time to really think and dwell on it. Christmas was harder b/c she had just past and things were so different. I did spend time with some of my family which was nice and similar to what we have done in years past.
2-my dear friend lost her son this past January he was only 5. I sent her a card to let her know I was thinking about her and know this is going to be tough. I know she got it b/c she emailed me about it. I know I could have called or emailed or texted or even myspaced her but I wanted to do something different and I know she likes cards so that is what I did. She is a strong woman so I know she will get through it I also know things are tough right now so if I can give her a little extra support I will.
So my day was busy with food, I had 3 meals to attend, I am soo stuffed. It ended on a rather funny note. I have made a habit of telling my son that when he is a mom he will get to make the rules. Its my funny way of saying b/c I said so without really saying that b/c I would never say such a thing (or so I told my self when I thought about raising a child). So tonight he says "I am never going to be a mommy so stop saying that" my roommate chuckled as she walked in the garage and I promptly told him to go to bed. Well yes he knows he will never be a mommy but I will probably use this line many more times to come especially in these dreaded teen years
Happy Mothers day to all-hope you got enough rest so that tomorrows start of the work week doesn't suck and that if you had to be with dreaded family members i.e. in-laws or even ex-in-laws it wasn't that bad.
