EDNESDAY,

41 yrs ago.  Speaking of my son.  It was my bowling night...I had worked at my upholstery shop that day, Tuesday, and had delivered a couch we had completed, meaning I carried my end into the house and the lady who owned it said "I was so afraid you'd have that baby before  you finished up my couch."  Went into labor that night and  22 hrs later delivered my son.  I missed the bowling that week and the next and when the league wrapped up that year I gave it up cause I was overwhelmed with life.

Motherhood was wonderful and hard.  I love my son but found I was so overworked helping make ends meet cause my husband was the type who never pulled his weight...so I had to make a bit more than My ends meet had to help make his ends meet too...that I didn't get to do all the things I wanted to do with my son.  Cant go back can only go forward. 

So today I baked cupcakes for my son, I had a good lunch for the 2 of us we laughed and told old jokes and he reminded me of how wonderful it is to have put those hours in and be able to have this time now to know Im not alone in the world we are family. My son is more like his dad than he is like me, he is a chip off his paternal block....so we butt heads a lot.   He could always make me laugh and just forget the hard parts of being a mom...

Happy Birthday Son! I LOVE YOU!!
