A Day to Breathe

NyCee made me this card and gave me the note pad for Mother's Day. Tyler "colored" me a red strawberry and gave it to me saying, "Happy Mother's Day."

Tyler and I went on a date to see "The Avengers" on Saturday night. He really enjoyed his date with mommy. My mother's day was quiet. I do not like Mother's Day. I celebrate it for other people by sending cards and gifts. But, I do not particularly care for it. I will not discuss my reasons in a public forum. I choose to spend the day with my kids in the quiet serenity of my home. I am EXHAUSTED. I am writing chapter 3 of my dissertation, overseeing two projects at work, teaching at another school, involved in my kids' lives, laundry, cooking, etc. And I do it every day all alone. So forgive me for not wanting to talk to anyone on Mother's day. But I chose to have a day to just "breathe."
