[QUOTE="ML, post: 357498"] I think it should be "celebrate woman" day instead. For so many years this day was an ache in my heart due to 13 years of painful infertility. Now, I force myself to focus on the blessings of being a mother instead of the challenges. I'm fortunate that manster still gets excited about giving me gifts and can barely contain himself, bursting to tell me what it is. Of course my mother gets involved and helps him with that. Manster is very young and sweet for his age. Maybe that's the AS but it's kind of nice having that quality around a bit longer. I called mom to ask her how she wanted to spend the day and we decided to go out for Chinese. I told husband if the stepsons called to ask about the day (though I highly doubt it) they were invited. If I had a bash and invited them they'd likely show but I'm not going to force them to come to celebrate me. That's not fair to them or to me. I'm actually looking forward to the day. I believe I may finally get my WI fit. Perhaps if I do I can show my face around the HL forum :) ML [/QUOTE]
