I feel a bit ashamed to admit it, but even after bragging on some awesome moms thinking about big things this year for Mother’s Day, my wishlist was still pretty shallow. I asked for a chocolate donut (mmmm, so bad), a gift card to get some more books (like I need more), and a nap. Oh, and I asked for a new tattoo also but I was already pretty sure we couldn’t afford the $200 I would need for what I want.
Of course the universe likes to teach lessons, so I got one on being materialistic and buying into the overcommercialized, HallMark sell out that Mother’s Day has become. I got a sink full of dishes, four loads of laundry (bedding and Dearest’s work clothes), and a couple pair of Dearest’s work pants that needed new buttons sewed on.
Well then, next year I’ll ask for world peace.

Even if it is over commercialized it doesn’t hurt to be recognized..
