[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 594100, member: 14356"] nerf - The visual you gave of fixing berms and keeping an eye on goats and kids in the mud gave me a smile. :) I'm not sure how I'll feel on Mother's Day. The last five years we haven't really celebrated on the actual day because easy child always has a dance competition that weekend. This year is no exception. We'll be at the competition from 8am to 6 or 7pm. That's ok, it's fun. I will get gifts for my mother and his mother and make sure they get them. easy child makes her confirmation next weekend so we may just combine things and take everyone out for dinner. Not sure yet. I am not sure how I will feel about difficult child. Part of me hopes he'll call and wish me a Happy Mother's Day. Part of me doesn't want the stress of talking to him on what should be a fun and happy day. Part of me figures that he'll likely do something nice for the woman he is living with just to spite me. That would hurt. One thing I know for sure.... whatever difficult child does is out of my control. I hope that he cares and respects me enough but he may not. On a positive..... I know easy child has been planning something for at least 2 weeks because she's been asking subtle (or not so subtle - which is cute) questions and having chats with her dad. :) It will probably be something simple but that's ok. easy child always does things from her heart and one of the best things she gave me last Christmas was not the gift but the note that was attached to it. Makes me cry even now to think about it. Happy Mother's Day Weekend to all of you. You have fought hard for your children, loved them and deserve their respect. Even if you don't get it from them - you have it from me. [/QUOTE]
