So far I've been wished a Happy Mother's Day only twice, which is a new record low. Huzzah. <br /><br />No worries, I didn't send you a card either! :) May your Mother's Day be a good balance, and happy birthday to your husband!

That's ALL she gets credit for." So hard.) <3Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-90666772076373278932018-05-12T09:17:11.778-07:002018-05-12T09:17:11.778-07:00That is SO COOL!

Yeah, the ...That is SO COOL! Snakes save the day! <br /><br />Yeah, the timing is always crappy, being right after my birthday which used to be a trigger, but now having it be right around the same time where things ended for us, parenting-wise, that's tough. But, there's garden and books and celebrations of what is. :) Thanks for sharing the link!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-79305543386766408542018-05-10T15:39:01.658-07:002018-05-10T15:39:01.658-07:00I think it's great that you'll be free to ...I think it's great that you'll be free to honor the mother you never got to be and to feel the feels about the day.

It sucks that you have to deal with Mother’s Day at the same-ish tine as all the other anniversaries. <br /><br />Oh, and it’s not quite the right time of year, but here’s a ritual day that makes me think of you.

Because I would send you and many others one of those cards. “I’m so sorry today is a kick in the gut, but please know I’m thinking of you, honoring your loss and holding you in my heart” would be one example of the inside of one of those cards. Regardless, I’ll be thinking of you.

For years, it was a relief for me to be able to take her out for lunch, but not be crowded by all the Mother's Day lunchers.<br /><br />How lovely to have a long massage. Just be prepared to be wished a Happy M Day. After that, though, relax and bliss out!<br /><br />I agree that having some time for yourself is not selfish AT ALL. <br /><br />(And I'm kicking myself for not sending you a card!)Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.com
