We "celebrated" Mother's Day for my mom early, because she happened to be in town last weekend. We went out to dinner, and while I was out taking my daughter to the bathroom, my H and mom somehow got on the topic of religion and the fact that neither he nor I believe in god. My mother, who is highly religious, apparently said, "Where did I go wrong?" sadly. The topic was closed by the time I got back, and my H relayed it all to me. In typical fashion, my mom would never actually say anything to me about it. But the "Where did I go wrong?" question struck me as funny and sad. Let me count the ways...(and religion ain't anywhere on that list for me).

I would love to give my T a Mother's Day card, but I'm pretty sure she'd be appalled by it.
