I’m not anti-mothers day. I appreciate appreciation… I like it all the time though, not just once a year. Thankfully my husband totally rocks at that. Well…we both make a conscious effort to appreciate small things in each other. Its one of those things that make us work. Like saying thank you for cooking dinner, or giving the baby a bath, etc.
With that being said, my Mother’s day was good. I got flowers – yay! And we made dinner (well he made the bruschetta and I made the chicken parm), I had some wine and we relaxed. We went away on Friday night up to a casino / resort that I book a yearly conference at for the Client Appreciation night. Basically we got a free room, free money to play with, and all the food drink we could handle. It was awesome, and we had a wonderful time together. So I am content with my Mother’s Day weekend events.
What I am NOT satisfied about is the fact that I did NOT talk to my own mother yesterday. Not for a lack of trying though. I called, a couple times and left her messages. Never heard back. I guess she didnt call my 17 year old sister back either. What really gets me ticked is that my newly married 21 year old sister went to visit my mother and step-dad for the weekend and spent the day with her. I am mad that they were there most of the day and didnt answer the phone. And that they went out to my step-dad’s family’s for a bbq / swimming thing, but didnt call me back afterwords. Im mad about the fact that my mom always gets all whiny and wants pity saying – K never calls me… wah wah wah, to everyone. Well you know what mom? I.Am.Done. Take your guilt trip pity party somewhere else, its not working on me anymore. You put me through hell as a kid, you didnt give two shits about my welfare as a teenager, and could barely muster the effort to be happy for me when I was getting married.
So there. Happy Fucking Mother’s Day.
EDIT: My 17 year old sister did, in fact, talk to her. I am beyond peeved, and I have no idea why I let her affect me like this.
