Pre-Mother's Day: It Should Be a Holiday Too

Yep, it certainly should. Especially for me. And all the other Moms out there who suffer the same situation as me. You know, what I mean right? How many other of you out there spend all day Mother's Day rushing around getting stuff and kids ready to go to the mil's and your own mother's homes....and of course since it's their day too, you have to bring a bunch of food which you've spent considerable time preparing ('cause it can never be that you're taking the same thing to both places so it would be easy) and it's causing you to get a bit snippy, which in turn is causing the kids to get out-of-sorts and now the whole house is grumpy and you start to feel that Mother's Day is waaaaaaaaay stressful and if you could just go back to Mother's Day morning when your kiddies showered you with their wonderful homemade gifts (and the subsequent in-great-detail stories about how they made said gift) and live in that moment for the rest of Mother's Day you would?

Geez, please don't tell me it's just me.

Anyway, that's why I think there should be a Pre-Mother's Day. That way all the Mother's Day activities in my house could happen today and I could actual enjoy "my special day". I've tried to convince my family to celebrate it but seeing as I didn't get the traditional breakfast in bed (which always starts with me pretending to sleep through three kids in my closet saying, "Where's the tray? Do you see it? I don't see it, do you see it?" in loud whispers as they rip apart my closet) I don't think it's going to happen. At least not this year.

But I do have a Mother's Day card. And this post would be perfect if the card was for me from me for Pre-Mother's Day. But, of course it's not.....hmmmmmmm.....

But I do have a card. I made it for me for Pre-Mother's Day. And I'd like to take a moment to wish you all a Happy Pre-Mother's Day too.

It cheeses me off.....I totally meant to stitch around the card before I put it together but I forgot. And, while I've been known to take apart a card and fix what needed fixed, this one had too much stuff glued and pop dotted down to make that happen.  But I did add some faux stitching.  And to tell the truth adding the faux stitching really didn't do much....'cept make me happier.
