Happy Mother's Day!

To Rosie, specifically. I don't think anyone else here is a mom...

I say this because I spent close to $200 getting my mom stuff she wanted. It would've been closer to $500, but as much as she wants one, she would not allow me to buy an iPod for her special day.

 

thank you gross. i didn't get any presents, but that's alright. once my kids are teenagers they can shower me with restitution.

 

Well did you at least get breakfast in bed?

 

You would want to.
I got up at 6am in the frost and cooked a freakin barbecue and now have a cold. She deffinately won't see another mothers day that's for sure.

 

there was no one here to cook for me. my husband's on the other side of the planet, remember? and my three year old shouldn't be messing with the stove. it's alright, though. i'm not big on mother's day. i like thanksgiving better. more food.

 

Is mothers day already? Because my calander says it isnt for another week.

 

Yea, Mother's Day was yesterday.

 

hmm...wierd...

 

You need help dude.

 

it's a couple months off between the US and England, i think.

 

Here we had it last Sunday too.

 

Today I took my mother to Agway and bought her a bunch of tomato and pepper plants. Then I drove her the twenty minutes back to the family house.

 

To each their own. I'm fairly lucky in that I actually get along with my parents, and that I know where they both are at any one time.
But...I really don't care much for my dad. That whole, "I don't want to be with your mom anymore," impulse kinda pissed me off.

 

I really don't care much for my parents either. That whole, "We're going to be nice normal parents so Thomas will get a good childhood" impulse kinda pissed me off.

 

Isn't that how it always works out? First, they reel you in by not dropping or neglecting you as a child, then, they propagate the farce even further by paying attention to you and praising good behaviour, and finally, they let you go to college and be whatever you want to be. The bastards.

 

My father's agressive behaviour towards the family kinda pissed me off. Also, his apparent lack of intelligence so that he continued smoking after he found out he had cancer, and continued drinking after chemotherapy, and died of course, kinda pissed me off.
