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.
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
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).

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...?

If they offered to do the gardening, however...!
Have a nice Chinese night!
