I hate Mother's Day!!

I am so ready for it to be done with for the year! All the stupid ads on TV and everywhere really get to me and make me so sad. I know I should just be able to celebrate my mom and MIL and everything, but it is so hard!! I actually asked my DH to take care of buying the cards and stuff this year, because it would just be too hard for me. And I am definitely NOT going to church next Sunday!! I purposely missed it last year, and there is no way I can make myself go this year. I just can't handle hearing the sermon on mom's, and whatever they will do to celebrate them. Because yet again, I am NOT A MOM yet!!! And it just hurts to much. I know I'm not the only one!

Happy mother's heart day to us instead!! :'(

" You know, I'm just so sorry we can't ALL enjoy a day like that.... Yeah, it may be a stupid Hallmark holiday, but in truth, I always used to enjoy it! And I always looked forward to when I would be able to celebrate it with all the other moms.

But now it just makes me sad....for one, because we have tried for so many years to become parents, and two, because my mom and grandmas and MIL all deserve to be celebrated on Mother's Day, but it just hurts so much to even do that. To even try to take a day and NOT let my pain get to me.....yeah right!! I wish I could just opt out of the day altogether this year, but I think I would feel too guilty not spending time with my mom and MIL. And I have no idea how they might respond to that. Not that it matters, really, if that's what is best for me. But it hurts me to feel so much pain that I can't hardly celebrate them on that day. Maybe I shouldn't feel guilty, but I do! I'm really just ready for it to be over and done with!

And thank you all for commenting on this, and confirming that I am NOT alone in this. You are all so wonderful!!! And thank you especially for reminding me that "I am a mother without kids", just like there are kids without mothers. I've always felt that way, but it still hurts! "
