This week

Round 4 is this week (or so that is the plan). What I find ironic is that round 4 may actually take place on Mother's Day--how ironic is that? So it made me think of how this makes me feel. I have always celebrated Mother's Day with my own mother every year and added my mother-in-law years later and then my sister-in-law as she had children. But I have never been the mother---just the daughter, daughter-in-law and appreciative aunt to the worlds best nieces.

So could this be the last one I have to endure as the NON-mother? Truthfully it doesn't really bother me--mother's day. What bothers me the most probably is when others seems to feel sorry for me--like it is a painful day. I guess blessedly I usually have always just thought of it as MY mother's day---the day I celebrate my mother.

But I won't lie---it would be great if next year I am the mother too!

Love, S
