Cutting the Cord!

Yesterday, was Mother's Day it was nice. We did the same thing we always do on Sundays. Mass, Dicky's BBQ, and home. Micheal and I went to James Avery, while he was off last week because of the pig flu closings. I had wanted a ring called the "Lovers Knot," for about two years. Sometimes it is hard to wear my wedding set, since I do mom things and wash my hands so much. I wanted a simple ring I could wear on non-dressed up days. So my ring was my Mother's day gift. Kayden picked me out the prettiest balloon in the world, and I got that the day before too.

We took my mom to lunch with us and that was draining. Everything was Kayden is sleepy, Kayden feels hot, Kayden wants cake, Kayden this, Kayden that and on and on. I don't feel great about the way I look right now and instead of helping and supporting me, my Mom harps on me. You need to cut your hair, it will take 10 pds. off (She thinks I along with everyone else should have big blonde Texas hair), you need to go to the dr. you need to wipe down your whole house so Kayden won't get sick again, and on and on. Finally I just looked at her and said "Stop." What I need to do is take responsibility for my own actions and not be afraid to change. And she needs to get that I am capable of caring for my family without help. I love her so much, but it is not her duty to clean my house, care for Kayden or tell me how to be. It will all get done, just on my time and terms. So after lunch we took her back home, so she could go over to her prefect child's house. My sister whom I don't speak to, share visitation of my mom, without words.

After a nap, Michael had this great idea of going to Krystal's, I thought he meant the pizza place in Irving, Ahh No Gross! But it is in Ft. Worth and they have sliders like White Castles. He is a Yankee, what can I say?? To my shock it was good, then it was a Target run for the week. Maybe I was hurt that I could not spend Mother's day as a family like we used to or maybe I long to be able to hold hands with my Nonnie and have her call me kitten. I am unsure. I just felt off yesterday. But I don't need a special day to feel loved by Michael and my sweet Kayden, no sir that occurs every single day.
