We spent an hour or so at my mom's house.
My mom told my sister she was sorry that she hadn't got her anything for mother's day... guess she wasn't sorry she didn't get me anything. Not that anyone did. About noon I got an "Oh, Happy Mother's Day," from Rick.
Today is Isaiah's birthday, and he wanted to go fishing. We couldn't afford two fishing licenses, so I bought Rick one. For an extra $6 you can add a thing on there that says you can use three poles instead of just two... so I got that for him, too.
We were out at the lake and he told me that was going to come in handy this year, and thanked for me for adding that... I said, "Sure. Happy Mother's Day." (I know, I"m just evil, aren't I?)
He said, "What, are you trying to be sarcastic?"
Hmm. did that sound sarcastic to you? Duh.
So I sat in the truck and watched them fish for an hour or so,(it was in the low 70s and the breeze was cold to me, of course I'm cold blooded and always cold) then they brought me home so I could do laundry, clean the bathroom and the litter boxes and cook supper while they went back out fishing.
Hope your Mother's Day was much better than mine!
(Guess I'm just not enough of a "martyr" to be a mom worth celebrating!)

Oh honey .. come over and read about my day .. even tho I am not a mother except to 2 cats .. my step daughter did send a lovely card AND called .. but Husband well .. read it for yourself.......
And you are SO worth it and more! Men dont 'get' the whole idea of celebrating someone they think is just doing their job .. right ... harruph!
:-Daryl
He did give me his "I was gonna buy you something..." speech he gives me every year...
I talked to my daughter today, and she didn't say anything about it, either... Of course, she NEVER forgets gifts on Father's Day... *sigh*
I read your blog, lol... Men just don't think things completely through, do they?!
Your worthy has nothing to do with the recognition of goofy men.
Kent worked. My mom and grandmother and I took ourselves to breakfast. Then I spent time alone. And did dishes. Then we went to visit KB's mom.
oh and my cold/allergies is back with a vengeance.
oh and today is the anniversary of my grandpa's death.
happy mother's day!
Sigh.
Sorry about your Grandpa...:(
If I didn't care that my mom doesn't care, and if I didn't care that my daughter doesn't care, then it wouldn't have been a big deal..
Rick doesn't remember anniversaries, birthdays or Christmas, either... the only presents I ever get are ones I buy for myself (which I don't do very often!)
My house is SO TRASHED because I was waiting for Rick to pick up after himself... Guess I'll tell him he damn well better start buying me Mother's Day presents since I seem to BE his mother... *sigh*
I'm sorry...you are a very precious person. Don't forget it! I think Moms and what they do are seriously taken for granted. Your family cares. I really know how you feel...it's like you walk around with this 'punched in the gut' feeling? I feel like that so much somedays. Just know that what you do for your family does not go unnoticed in the bigger picture. ( in God's plan) Men don't get it...period. If it's any consolation...my day today was cruddy. LOL. God gave us this gift of motherhood for a reason...hang in there. ;)
Doesn't matter...
I've decided not to expect any help around the house, or appreciation, or anyone picking up after themselves, or any sort of relationship other than being roommates - much easier if you don't expect it and don't get it than if you DO expect it!
Hey Anita, I am sorry that your Mother's Day wasn't the best.
Which lake did you go to today?
THe one here at Greensburg - Rick caught a few small bass, but it's best for catfish (biggest one caught in recent years was 52 lbs.) - we just didn't have any bait!
Ouch! That resembles "sucks" so much you can't tell the difference.
You do know your true worth, talent and potential. Listen to that quiet voice.
Thanks Buffalo...
sometimes it just gets drowned out... it's not a very strong voice, you know...
Hey girl, Happy Mom's Day! You're special and you know it. Here is a little something to read over to help yourself overcome all these negative thoughts.

Remember, you are special, you have a special job to do, mothering. Even if it is one small child and one big ole kid. lol
Happy Mother's Day Am!
Thanks!
I'm going to check out that link right now... :)
That article has, once again, reminded me that I am the one being ungrateful, and that I should just keep on keeping on, doing whatever needs to be done and expect help and recognition from no one but God.
Happy mother's day to you too! Mine was uneventful, I have the flu, ran a fever all last night and today off and on...yuck!
I miss blogging, but my life has been a whirlwind since I took this teaching position. I am so envious that you get to stay home and homeschool.What a blessing.
Wasn't it terrible about the tornadoes, I read your post.
Have a nice Tuesday.
~M
Thanks!
I just cringe every time tornadoes rip through somewhere... I know exactly what those people are going through, and what's ahead for them, and my heart just goes out to them!
I'm sorry you were sick! :(
I am very blessed to have jobs that work at home, and around my time with Isaiah!
