Happy Mother's Day to two of the greatest Mother's...My mom and Eric's mom. I had to give a talk in church today...yes I know...why do you they have a Mother speak on Mother's Day...not cool. I talked about both these ladies and the great example they show me. They are both loving, kind, selfless, compassionate, and a great example how a Mother should be. I love them both very much.
In my talk, I listed what the perfect Mother's Day would be like...Breakfast in bed, getting only myself ready for church, listening to the wonderful talk on mothers, listening to my kids sing a mothers day song to me, homemade gifts and cards from the kids, a long quiet nap, maybe a nice foot massage from Brooklyn, and a yummy cooked dinner! I know that is a lot to ask for...but maybe a few could come true.
And since this blog is my journal..I have to vent and maybe someone will get the hint if he reads this blog ever...which I doubt. My Mother's Day was lame. Brooklyn had the flu on Saturday so Eric stayed home with her while I took the boys to church. Like I said I had to speak in church which is the one thing I hate to do and I always have such a hard time doing it. I am a scaredy cat...not sure why but I always have been. The talk went ok once my voice stopped sounding nervous. I was relieved it was over, it has been haunting me since the Bishop asked my last week. The rest of church went fine. I was hoping to come home to a clean house and maybe a cooked lunch. Nope. Sleeping husband. Oh well. I then layed down and tried to sleep but couldn't. So I turned on a lame movie. I was hoping I would get a yummy cooked dinner...well he asked me if I wanted frozen pizza or chicken and rice soup (from a can). Can you tell I was really mad at this point. Wouldn't you be? He did say "Happy Mother's Day" while I was getting ready for church but that was the last of it. No card, flowers, dinner, breakfast in bed, words of appreciation, nothing. I am not sure what was up with him but he missed base on this one. After almost 10 years of marriage I thought he would have learned one thing about me...I like holidays and I want to feel special. Is that too much to ask. Am I too needy? I don't care if he spends money...I don't care about gifts...yes they are nice but I would be happy with a thoughtful $20 gift. Spending money on big gifts isn't what I want. I want to know that he appreciates what I do. I know I am not the perfect wife and mother...but I do try.
Well there you have it...What a great Mother's Day, right? I am sure you are jealous.
This post might make Eric mad...but sometimes a girl just has to vent.
I feel EXACTLY the same way Dust slept in till like 10 then we went to church then later he took a nap I might have gotten a happy mother's day but I don't think I even got that!!!! So what will you be doing for father's day....
ReplyDeleteDang girl! He's usually REALLY good at the gift giving thing. I pretty much got the shaft too. We have church at 1 so I thought breakfast in bed? Nope. I thought bath by myself? Nope, both kids joined me. I thought he'd watch the kids while I actually got ready for church? Nope. Got home from church at 4pm, ate left overs then he had to got to the office and was gone for 3 hrs. Then pretty much went to bed. Kinda sucked!
ReplyDeleteWell, my son wouldn't stop yelling at me because he'd been out playing in the dirt the day before and I told him he couldn't wear dirty cowboy boots to church. He proceeded to tell me that he hated me and didn't even like me! I walked in the other room where Rett was getting ready for church with a smirk on his face and we both said, "Well, Happy Mother's Day!". It was the most awful getting ready for church day in a long time. We were late, and kids were mad. So, I hear you, sometimes you just have to deal with the fact that Mother's Day really isn't about one day anyway, it's about the role in general. Which is kind of thankless most of the time too. I'm sorry about your day!
ReplyDeleteOh! I feel your pain. I went to work for Mothers Day & had a frozen Marie Callender's meal for dinner while I was there. Kind of bummed me out. :(
