What do I want for mother's day?
Cloth diapers and some sleep.
I'm so effing broke right now, I can't afford to buy another bag of these disposables. I applied for Miracle Diapers, but they're so backed up right now, it could be months. I want to go hiking with my kids today, but my older son is still asleep and I know he'd rather not venture out.
My mom just called me to lay the same trip on me that she always does. She feels forgotten. It's the same story every damn holiday and especially Mother's Day. I'm so tired of this guilt trip. Hey lady, you raised us to be this emotionally disengaged from one another. This is just how it is. Let's let each other off of the hook and not pretend it's different.
And further more,I don't want to go over there because she's homebrewing beer all day and I'm sober. I can't afford the gas to get to her house right now. I can't afford flowers. Heck, I can't even afford the gas to get to the grocery store so that I can use my food stamps and WIC. I'm tired. Bleh.
