Nowhere to go but up, right? Right??

Would it be weird if I didn't write about my first Mother's Day as a mother?  I'd prefer not to.  Can we all just agree to skip over it and try again next year?  Yes?  Cool, thanks.


I'll be back tomorrow and it will be better, because I don't want to dwell on my craptastic weekend.  


It was a good day because I'm a mother.  That's about all I've got.  See you tomorrow.

    Well, given that I suspect you are doing a very good job, I'm sure you could do much worse. However, in terms of having a rough weekend, I'm sure it will get better, and change, and you will find new challenges. It is sad for you that you had a rough weekend over mother's day, but ultimately it is just another day and you will have better ones. And you are a mother now which I know is something you dearly wanted and which didn't come easily. So, really, everyday is mother's day no. So celebrate the good ones and do your best to get through the bad ones.

    I will stop spouting platitudes now. But I hope you feel better and that today was a better day (and if not, maybe tomorrow will be).

    Tomorrow is going to be great! We're going to my OB and we're going to see all the doctors and nurses that helped get her here! I'm really excited!

    BOO! I wanted you to have an amazing mother's day! But it's ok... you can have an amazing Monday and Tuesday! :)

    So exciting about going to see the doctors and nurses that helped!

    at least it was an amazingly memorable day?

    I have to say that M is starting to get a bit easier now that I have two months under my belt. She's less fragile and has a bit more control over her neck, and we both have a better idea of what we are supposed to be doing. Hang in there!

    Have a good outing to the doctor's! are you going alone? is this your first trip out in the car with S alone? I remember the first time I took M out. We went to a lactation workshop, and man, it was such an event figuring out how to juggle a baby, car seat, driving, lack of sleep, etc. But it was also exciting to be out an about just us girls.

    love, inB

    Yeah, last Mother's Day I was definitely grumpy. I wrote about Mother's Day Blues (http://rixarixa.blogspot.com/2010/05/mothers-day-blues.html). I was traveling all day this Mother's Day and the airline personnel must have been instructed about Mother's Day, because EVERYONE kept wishing me a happy mother's day and it was a bit overkill.

    Sounds like you and I had the same gray cloud hanging over Mother's Day! Well wishes for a wonderful week.

    isn't it funny how having the perfect little baby doesn't magically make every other aspect of life perfect?

    all my life i had this wonderful vision of how my life would be after getting married and having a baby. 3+ years in, life doesn't look anything like my vision and probably never will, but that doesn't automatically mean it's not good.

    i think i feel where you're coming from, and all i can say is that finding happiness in the things that make you happy will give you the strength to make it through the rest.

    this is WAY easier said than done, and even i have trouble sticking to it. but such is life.

    ((hugs))

    chin up chica!

    What Mothers Day? Its banned in my house... because Im always dissapointed ... so for the sake of peace....and the fact that I know I married "that guy".

    Mothers and Fathers and Valentines and all other, for lack of a better term, "hallmark holidays" are banned in this house.

    I refuse to feel sad and dissapointed. Theres too much to be thankful for.

    So yes.. we move on.. cause its not worth it babe!
    xoxoxo
    See you!

    don't sweat the stuff- small or otherwise.
    as you said, it can only get better.

    I hoped you would have a good Mother's Day as well, but we've all been there where it was less than stellar. I hope next year is better but seriously, it's just another commercially made up holiday like Valentine's Day.

    I'm with naijababelove & Ro. We don't really acknowledge the Hallmark holidays. And I resist buying cards. Straight to the recycle. I've also stopped having fantasies about my husband's behavior. No disappointments as a result. :)

    At least you girls didn't go psycho like this woman. I saw this article, Desiree and thought about your post! This story (although not right!) made me laugh: WOMAN HITS HUSBAND WITH A PAN FOR NOT BUYING HER A MOTHER'S DAY GIFT - http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/offbeat/wife-bashes-new-york-man-with-cooking-pot-for-failing-to-buy-mothers-day-gift-050911?obref=obinsite

    Look at the bright side. Wherever it may be. Or pretend there's one. It (usually) always gets better. **cyberhug**

When you leave me a comment, my phone chimes. I run to it from across the house, anxious to read what you've said. I save them in my email and read them multiple times a day, which is why you may not get an immediate response but I promise I eventually respond to every comment that has an email address.

You make me smile - I just thought you should know.
