[QUOTE="Star*, post: 270871, member: 4964"] How do you handle it? Like every other holiday - I celebrate the day not the holiday. I celebrate the fact that I'm alive, mostly healthy, healthier than most - able to get up, go to a job, able to walk, talk, chew gum (not altogether). I celebrate that while I'm not rich in pocket I am rich in spirit - and I have three wonderful furkids that never know it's Mother's Day ONE day a year - they make me feel it's Mother's Day every night when I come home. My son, NEVER jumped at the fence and howled (that I know of) upon my return home. I celebrate that I have this board, a computer - friends here and people who understand me when I say I hate holidays - I'm understood and not persecuted. Or When I say "This year I LOVE holidays." because I'm in a better place mentally - no one says "Well last year you said you HATED holidays." I celebrate the fact that despite all the bad, horrible, unwanted, unmentionalbe carp in my life - I'm alive and can choose to celebrate any day- any way I choose - be it - a picnic in a park with bugs, ants, and vultures - or staying in bed with the room darkened, a bag of double chocolate MIlano cookies and a can of coke to comfort me. And if by chance - my son - remembers to say "I love you" ANYDAY - I'm thankful. Sigh............ [SIZE=1]what I can't stand is all the MOms who have children who REMEMBER them with presents, dinners, cakes, flowers, scrapbooks endearing their lives to their children, gifts of kittens, cars, rings, jewelry......and then come to work on Monday and say """""""I GOT"""""""" [/SIZE] [SIZE=1][/SIZE] [SIZE=1]Yeah - I got it too - my kid just forGOT. lol[/SIZE] Maybe we should put holidays on a wheel and just spin - this month instead of Mothers Day we're going to have Kwanza - THAT should throw the fam.....
