on the subject of mother's day
Every year I have the same dilemma - choosing a card for MIL, husband's mother. The evil accursed one. I refuse to give her one of those cards that say what a great mum you are and how much we all love you (my Mum gets that one) so I have to sift through endless cards until I find the one that I can give and still retain my self respect.
This year's effort simply said Mum on the front and inside it said "hope you have a nice Mother's Day".
Two wrongs may not make a right, but I don't have to like doing the right.
My first mother's day was spent in hospital lying on my left side trying to lower blood pressure so Baby could go the final month. A very shy little boy scout came into the room and gave me a white handkerchief as a Mother's Day gift. He was so sweet and I was so full of panic and hormones I burst into tears. At least I had a handkerchief for the tears!

So true about the fake sincerety of most cards. Ya feel like a hypocrit giving those, when what you really want to say is....is......well, nothing at all, LOL!
I had a fine Mother's Day. A lot of my family was here. My MIL is great. She tries so hard not to "interfere" or be overly pushy, which I totally appreciate!
But, Mother's Day is always tugging at my heartstrings anyway, because....can anyone live up to three kids' expectations? I dunno. I think I did a great job whilst they were little. Now that they are grown .....I think for the most part, everything's good......
Whatever the case...have a happy day tomorrow, too! :D
