You know that phrase if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all? Well that’s how I feel tonight. I really didn’t want to write. Sometimes relationships are hard. Tonight is one of those fun marriage nights. I want to say that my Mothers Day was breakfast in bed with roses but it was a day full of tantrums and bickering. I had a vision for today, like I do for all special occasions and when it doesn’t look like a hallmark card, I feel disappointed. This is when I start to feel guilty for not feeling grateful. Tomorrow will be a better day all around.
I am grateful for:
My son. He makes me laugh and tonight my brother James said he sounds like me.
My brothers. They love me so much and I can feel it even though I rarely see them.
Sleep. Sleep always makes everything better.
Warm days and sunny mornings.
Okay, I know it's not funny, but one of the things I love most about you is your honesty about everything and I kinda wanted laugh when you wrote that you wanted a hallmark mother's day. I think everyone wants those holiday's but not everyone will admit it. Sorry it didn't happen this time, but you have an entire year to lay the groundwork for next mother's day. And you clearly have a lot to be grateful for :-) Feel better.
ReplyDeleteSorry this day wasn't Hallmark'ish, but tomorrow will be! Thanks for keeping it real everyday & helping us do the same. Keep pushing. We got ya covered!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have a Mother's day were I was served breakfast in bed...You can complain if you want to. It's your party and you can cry if you want to! You know you are very blessed and it's ok to sometimes complain.
ReplyDeleteJenna I adore you and I'm glad that you think it's funny because after I read it I started to laugh too. I'm an asshole, seriously. Thank you Carmen and Melanie for making me smile.
