I was pretty much done when I took this video. Not all moms have a great day on Mother’s Day. I’ve got plenty of rad pics from yesterday. I could have shared those and told you how perfect it was. It wasn’t. On this Mother’s Day my baby girl made me breakfast in bed…it was the sweetest. I should have stayed in bed. My son refused to say Happy Mother’s Day. He refused to hug me. He decided to fight me on all things…before 8 am. I wanted a day outside, with beauty and ease. They complained from the moment we left the house, and nothing was enough. Not enough food, not enough sleep. Too cold. Too hot. Too long of a drive. Not happy with what mommy wants and when we finally got the food, it wasn’t the right kind of food. It wasn’t the right tasting water. We’re walking too much, oh and then let’s run and jump behind moving cars. Let’s skip off the sidewalk into potential traffic. Let’s get mad when mom has the audacity to want us to stay safe!... I finally broke. I’m sitting alone, on Mother’s Day, when all I wanted is to be loved and nurtured. I want to be hugged. I didn’t want to tell them to shut up, I wanted someone else to do it for me. I will sit here and chant “this too shall pass” until it passes. For all the moms who didn’t have the day they wanted, I see you. We can’t pick our tough days, but can sure hope we get a redo soon ♥️
