I want to go on record before I go any further and say that I have a great mother, a wonderful grandmother, special aunts and girlfriends who are mothers to their own little ones. I love them all dearly and hope that they feel pampered and loved for their sacrifices as a Mom when Mother’s Day rolls around on Sunday. But, what about myself and countless other women for whom Mother’s Day is a reminder of what they don’t have?

I have four children and have been married for 18 years. I think I've recieved flowers once and no other gifts, except for the homeade gifts my kids bring home from school. I know my family loves me, I don't need a Commercialized day for them to tell me. Same thing goes for Valentines and Birthday's. We were really financially limited the first 6 years of our marriage and now it just seems silly to spend money on flowers and stuff I don't really need.I've never told anyone, they don't understand. My husband brought me home a big flower arrangement on my birthday once, I felt really guilty. I told him I did appreciated them but it really wasn't necessary. Same thing goes for him, he feels bad when I do get him something on his birthday or Fathers day. So if we ever really feel like celebrating we end up making dinner extra nice or make a nice dessert. Just felt like sharing.

Hi, I happened across your blog through a post you left on "Silver Lining." I haven't read enough to know your whole story, but I wanted to share that I struggled with infertility, before I finally adopted. I can totally relate to what you've said in this post. Just wanted you to know you're not alone. :)
I've blogged about my adoption journey, if you're interested...
