First things first: My next post will be password protected, so if you want access but don’t know the code, you need to ask me, using the password request form if you haven’t done so already. Also, I’m out of town so that’s why I haven’t been to your blogs. I’ll catch up.
I have great kids. I mean I really, really do. Anyone will tell you that – they are the sweetest and most well behaved girls you will ever meet. Not only have I *so far* done an excellent job raising them, but I’m quite lucky. I forget sometimes, admist the whining and arguing and foot stamping, but they are very special.
Yesterday, while their father ‘forgot’ to even say Happy Mother’s Day to me [or perhaps he felt like he didn't have to because he'd said it the night before, thus eliminating the need to say it again when actually appropriate], I awoke to The Bella’s exuberant “Happy Mommy’s Day” announcement and Goobie’s garbled interpretation of it, two big hugs, and crayon art pieces of what I assume were me and them. I argued with their father in the afternoon, and it ruined my mood for a large part of the day, as he has a knack for doing, but after a few ‘Mommy, you bluetifull’’s from Goobie I realized that I didn’t need fucktard to make my day a good one, because it wasn’t about him. It was about them.
Of course, me being the mother of his children should have garnered me something, but whatever – the important ones made sure to double up on the love they gave and were happy to do so. And plus, I relished in the fact that Father’s Day is still coming and payback is a bitch, bitch.
Yes. That’s how our ‘marriage’ works.

I texted my mum (from where I was sleeping in her house) even before I got up. I had to call my bastard baby brother and badger him to call people though. Ugh. Happy belated Mother’s day!

It sucks that J wasn’t better to you on Mother’s Day, but it’s so cool that the girls were! And you are right: It is THEY who matter most! :-)

Maggie’s comment has me giggling. hehe. Your kiddo’s are adorable.
One of the KEY things that ended my marriage to LMD was my second Mother’s Day when he completely failed to even mention it. Like I’m the MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD, can you not wish me a Happy Mother’s Day? (Not that that was the only reason for our divorce – more of a straw that broke the camels back thing- and I am in no way implying that this is grounds for divorce - I’m just trying to say that I understand how pissed off you are over it. I’ll just go ahead and shut-up about it now.)
The first few years of our marriage I had to keep telling my hubby that at least A CARD would be nice. And he kept saying, “Why? You’re not my mom!” Dickhead.
I think he has finally come around. I got a card yesterday.
Add to that the fact that my birthday was just two weeks ago and our anniversary is today and he thinks he can just get one present and say it is for all of those days combined. Grrr. Guys are so clueless sometimes.

I tried to get the password but I couldn’t. What the fuck is up with that? Is there a submit button that I just plain couldn’t find because I am that stupid? I mean, really, I lloked for it all over the place, but nothing. Incidentally, I got the same as you for Mother;s Day, minus the cards and hugs from the kids. Yeah, cried all day. What the fuck ever.
