Mother's Day

I am so sorry Trinity, we are here for you...maybe we should start a "no mothers allowed" mothers day thread .....for those of us who DONT care to send the very best, cant or wont send anything for that matter.

I just got back from the grocery store and I was surprised to see an assortment of Mother's Day cards for "Someone special"! I found a good one for my T (in addition to a bland one for my mom - I have the same exact reaction every year as Wikid - no cards that say "thanks for the abuse and neglect"...). The one for T reads on the outside "Mother's Day is for thinking of very special people..." and then on the inside "...and for wishing them all the good and wonderful things tha life can bring. Wishing you happiness on Mother's Day." There was another one I hesitated buying that said something like "there is a specialness that only you bring to my life" (I can't quite remember and I know that there was "only you" in it). I liked that sentence more, but it said "Happy Mother's Day" on the outside and my T doesn't have kids. I think that the one I chose was clearer in stating that the person isn't my mom. I know that my T will be good with this - and I will be explicit that I know that she isn't/can never be my mom.

that would be awesome! we would be on board for that!

That sounds like a great card, eastcoaster. I imagine your T will be touched by the thoughtfulness of the gesture.

So sorry TD! I didn't mean to trigger you!

Eastcoaster...good job, I think your T will like that.

Update: mother called and told me that since m day falls on my brothers birthday she would be with him. WaaHoo! I don't have to take her out to dinner and pretend to be close. I get to spend it with my H and my kids...it will be nice after all!

Well, happy mother's day to YOU! what a nice present you get, then.
