Mother's Day...
There's this part of my personality that I don't particularly like...
It's the part that tries not to look forward to things in attempt to shield myself from disappointment.
Is that twisted?? Normal??
Anyway...Mother's Day falls into this category.
While Kevin is a very thoughtful person, who loves and appreciates all I am and do for our children...I still struggle with this tendency.
Take today for example...I know it is the day BEFORE Mother's Day...but Facebook makes one feel like Mother's Day is now an extended weekend holiday...
Only husbands still work. Kids still bicker. Brothers still threaten to kill their sister's imaginary fairies. Stomachs still get hungry. Dishes still get dirty. Dogs still roll around in only-God-knows-what. (Seriously. What did he roll in?!?!?!) So floors still need to be cleaned. Laundry still needs to be done...and all of a sudden it doesn't seem like Mother's Day AT. ALL.
And while I tried to not set myself up for disappointment with low expectations, I still find myself disappointed...even before Mother's Day actually happens.
