I was shopping for Mother's Day cards today at my local gold cr.own store. I found my mom's card then started looking for the mother-in-law cards.
Look where I found them:
Right out loud, but to no one in particular I said, "This is an infertile's nightmare."
I had to buy a birthday card the other day, and walked into a hallmark store. I ended up having to walk past a sea of mothers day gifts they have at the front of the store. Of course that was my CD1...I was almost in tears as I walked out of the mall!
ReplyDeleteYep. I agree. I was even uncomfortable buying my mom's card, which thankfully I did before I learned I was going to miscarry.
ReplyDeleteWe can't seem to get away from it so somehow we have to find a way to make it easier on ourselves. But how ?
ReplyDeleteI think Mother's Day is a big struggle. I obviously want to honor my mom (and MIL), and appreciate all that have done, given, taught, etc. But at the same time I truly thought that by 32 I'd be part of the celebration as a mom, not just a daughter. I don't think either of my moms get that it is a sad day, as my MIL said yesterday "wow, you get to celebrate mother's day 2 weekends in a row! How neat." Yeah. Neat...
ReplyDeleteI've told my husband that he better not do anything... no cards, no flowers, no nothing... I don't even want to go to chruch next Sunday. Bleh.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it just seems as though there is no escaping it. It stinks!
ReplyDeleteI ran into the same thing! No way around it, this sucks!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I LOVE your new blog look!
Ugh, I haven't done anything to prepare for Sunday. Haven't bought a card or a gift and have made no plans. Not sure how much longer I can keep pretending like it's not happening....
