Happy Mothers Day!

[tymejumper]

Hey it's Mothers Day so good wishes to all mothers out there. What did you get or get your mother?

I got my mom a cell phone and put her on the family plan. She would not let me pay for her phone (or anything). She can't afford her land line any longer. She is out of work and now that my step father has died, she has no real income to speak of. I talked her into getting the kids off to school and doing light house cleaning with the semi-lie of "I have to get to work earlier". That way she feels she can do something for us and I get to give her money, which her pride causes her to refuse. Also, she gets to bond with the grandkids and they need that. So, I made her cell phone a Mothers Day gift(one day early) and she can't refuse it. Plus, I know that things are taken care of so it's a gift to me also!

My little ones brought flowers home they bought from school for the Mothers Day sale for both Ellie and I, they are sitting in the green house until it gets warm enough to plant outside in the yard.

I didn't get my mom anything, but did call her. She doesn't want to talk to me, her wayward, reprobate, lesbian daughter, who has given herself over to sin and wallows in the paths of unrighteousness.

I just called, wished her a happy Mother's day, thanked her for all she had done for me, and then the machine cut off.

My wife and I went to New Orleans for the weekend, she had a business conference to attend and I just basically laid around for 3 days and busied myself reading, going to the pool at the hotel, and taking a day trip to Baton Rouge. Anyway, we did go to the wharf and almost to the French Quarter, but it seems there is just a horrendous smell around Bourbon Street and unless you are very drunk, it isn't a pleasant place to be. I don't drink and neither does my wife, so we just ate at Drago's and walked around a little but decided our time could be better spent in our hotel room.... I have to say, in our hotel room, I wasn't missing Bourbon Street at all....


My daughter's bf broke up with her, and two of my gay friends lost their moms this week. One died Tuesday and the other died Friday. It has been tough on them. One was expected and the other was a surprise, and neither are easy to handle. Pray for them. Their names are Pedro and Wayne.

So what did you do for Mother's Day...

How horrible! I am so sorry. You should have left a message for your mother telling her how much you did enjoy wallowing in sin. We should all be that lucky! You are a better than I, I didn't call my father at all for his birthday a few days ago becuase he thinks I am sinning.

My co-worker has a friend who just lost her husband to cancer and 2 weeks later lost her mother to stroke. She also just had her dead husbands baby 3 days after he passed. I guess she was holding it together pretty well until she went to see her mother in law, she got really hysterical. Poor thing.

Hug your daughter for me, I expect to be going through all that stupid heart break with Genevieve soon enough. I think it hurts us worse becuase we cant fix it for them. When they are little, you can kiss thier owies and they go away, but not when they get older. That is one of the sadest things I have learned through being a mother.

I was away for the weekend. every year for the past 9 years, I've been out of town on Mother's day. I have a supplemental contract to accompany a children's chorus, and the trip is always MD wknd. I've decided not to renew that contract for next year.

so I was gone, but I called mom when I got home, and took her gift and card to her on Monday morning. It was an old-fashioned looking jar, much like a fruit canning jar with a red cap, filled with candy.
