Mother’s Day
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I imagine it could bother me if I let it. Fortunately, I don’t. But I did get to thinking… I’m one of two- maybe three- members of TOSS that isn’t a mom yet. Everyone else, regardless of being and SM or IM, already has at least one kid. So all of them will be getting something to say “thank you” tomorrow. I’m happy for them, don’t get me wrong. But there are a couple of members who have been sending Mother’s Day type forwards the past week and I don’t think it occurred to them that not all of us are mothers yet. Granted, we all WANT to be. We just haven’t been blessed yet.
One of those emails said something about “you know you’re a mother if…” As I read I thought, I’ve done that… and that… and that… Of course, they were all in the week W was here, but hey, I’ve done them! So why isn’t there an “Aunt’s and Uncle’s Day”? I totally think there should be! We count too. 
I’m kidding, of course. And I also realized, it could be possible that I will be a “mother-to-be” this time next year. That would be totally awesome! 
I hope, I hope!
