I still feel strange being the Mother in the Mother’s Day scenario. When I think of Mother’s Day, I think patent leather shoes and church and lilies. But here I am, perched in the too-small church preschool chair, being served sweet tea and cookies by a four-year-old.

Mother’s Day Tea
Friday, May 7th, 2010Kinda How I’m Feeling Today
Thursday, May 6th, 2010This one is fitting my mood this morning. . .
Years ago my heart was set to live on
And I’ve been tryin hard against unbelievable odds
Gets so hard at times like now to hold on
Guns they wait to be stuck by
And at my side is GodAin’t no one goin to turn me round
Ain’t no one goin to turn me roundPeople round you tell you that they know
The places they have been, and it’s easy to go
They’ll zip you up and dress you down, and stand you in their role
You know you don’t have to
You can just say noAnd there ain’t no one goin to turn me round
Ain’t no one goin to turn me round
Ain’t no one goin to turn me round
Ain’t no one goin to turn me roundI’ve been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
They’ll get theirs and we’ll get ours if you can just
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold onYears ago my heart was set to live on
And I’ve been tryin hard against unbelievable odds
Gets so hard at times like now to hold on
Gonna fall if I don’t fight it
And at my side is GodAin’t no one goin to turn me round
Ain’t no one goin to turn me round
Ain’t no one goin to turn me round
Ain’t no one goin to turn me round

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010Vow
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010This has been one of the most wonderful days I have ever spent with my girl and yet your betrayal has tainted even this, and as she sleeps peacefully in the backseat, I sit and wonder how you could do this, and how it could ever be fixed, how I could ever forgive you for hurting us like this, and I realize that you can’t fix it. You have rent us irreparably. You cannot take back the spirit of it. I will know what you really are no matter what happens.
I wipe away more tears and wait for my daughter to wake and vow never to make her feel the way you have made me feel.
