Ahhh Friday!

[irishredlass]

I cannot tell you how wonderful it is that it is Friday.

My plans so far are simple.  I am taking my neighbor out for Chinese tonight.  It seems both her daughters are too busy to think of Mother's Day and she is kind of down so...

Then the weekend will be spent cleaning my house and being lazy.  Though I really must get the house clean so I can take pictures of it to take on my trip with me.  The weather plans to be uncooperative so, I cannot do area pictures this weekend. 

All of my girlfriends are busy this weekend. No surprise there, as they all are mothers and this is their weekend.  I do find myself a little envious as I too am a mother though no one sees this.  I will just keep in my heart thoughts of mine who never had the chance to celebrate this day with me. Enough of being maudlin!

I must make sure the coffee is ready to go, brush my teeth and get out the door.  Another day of cranky complaints and wacky calls awaits me.

Have a beautiful Friday Flist!

You are a sweetheart. I hope you have a lovely, blessed dinner this evening.

Enjoy today and this weekend. I hope productivity and rest comes your way. Take care of yourself. *big hugs*

P.S. I know you are doing a trip to meet your betas, but is the Chicago trip a possibility...?

At this point I seriously doubt it. My company is starting a major merger in June and I had to beg, borrow and steal to get one of the days off I needed for this trip. If plans change I might be able to drive it since it is only about 4 hours.

I hope you have a good weekend! My son and I will e-mail his birthmother on Saturday (birthmother's day).

That is just absolutely wonderful that you have a relationship with her that allows such communication and she is not forgotten. Hugs you.

Right. Mother's day? What mother's day? ^_^
Since son ended school, it has entirely disappeared from the calendar.
I don't mind too much, either. Greetings are all right, but heart-shaped or rose-coloured chocolate boxes just aren't my thing :D

If they offered to do the gardening, however...!

Have a nice Chinese night!

I understand the lack of excitement for commercialism, but at the same time it can hurt that I am considered a mother because my children did not live outside my womb. I felt them and they lived therefor I am a mother!

Irish, I'm an idiot and I'm sorry for hurting you instead of comforting you, as it was my intent. I hope you will believe that I had completely misunderstood your post, and find in yourself a way to forgive me.
You are a total sweetie and I wish I could "un-write" my insensitive words. The more I think of them, the worse I feel :(((
And, of course, I agree with you on the "mother" thing.
(I'll never, ever try to comment again before I've made sure that I've really caught the meaning of what is being said.)

ihkelele, you did not hurt my feelings. It is those in the world that walk around saying things like "well you don't have any kids" When they know that I have lost mine. This includes my family!

So there is no need to forgive. I apologize if my venting made you think so!

You're such a sweetie to take your neighbor out for Chinese tonight, and I'll be thinking of you on Sunday (and celebrating your motherhood as I celebrate my own).

*lots of hugs*

Hugs you back.

Hey where are those pics of the flowers Severus sent you?

[beffeysue.livejournal.com]

I am such a slack-ass. I will try to get them up tomorrow.

I hear they have some good girdles out now that can help with a drooping derriere.
