Mother's Day is something I rarely get to scrap, despite having been a mother for nearly two decades now.
I took one pic yesterday, and do plan on scrapping a Mother's Day layout with it. It's a selfie of me & my two youngest.
Although my mom was with me yesterday (and everyday, as we've quarantined together this whole time), she hates having her photo taken, so I didn't ask at all because it would have ruined her day.
And my older kids said no when I asked to take a selfie with them. (I don't force pics. I just ask once and leave it at that.)
But I'm grateful for the photo I do have, and excited to make a frou-frou layout with it.

I am an ICU nurse and worked 12hr nights shifts Saturday and Sunday nights. I not only didn't get any pictures, but my family was sore at me because I couldn't be home to be pampered. So. No photos....

No. And I have four kids!
Mother’s Day is a toughie for me. My relationship with my children is wonderful, but that’s not the case with my mom. It always leaves me feeling a little melancholy and wistful on MD.
I’ll be sure to take a pic of the kids and I this week though once the sads are shook off.

I got a few photos with DS. None with my mother because she lives in a different state. I did realize I don’t have a lot of photos with her and I should make sure to take some when we visit.

I didn't take any, but I know my DDs took a photo of the cake they made for me.
And second photo after a can of peaches fell into it while it was in the fridge.

I made husband take one of us before our hike. It’s not great but I’m glad I took something.

The dog & I again. No kids. No mom. No breakfast. No dinner. No gifts. No pampering. Just any other day.
I get it. It’s just what had to be this year. I had my pity party mid day yesterday and I’ve moved on. I’m back to concentrating on the positive & seeking the silver linings now.
My kids are healthy. ( that was up for debate earlier this week ) Weather was gorgeous yesterday & the neighbors loud car left on a trailer fingers crossed it’s gone for a long time. I think last time it was gone it was for 3 months. I can only hope.
So all in all not a bad day.

Yes, my husband insists on those pictures. Oddly, I’ve already scrapbooked them! 😮

I took a lot of photos. DH took some of me with DIL and DGD, I got photos of them planting my annual Mother's day flowers, and DS1 went for a walk with DIL and DGD and I got a few cute photos of them.
I have to choose the best ones but I think I will still get at least 4 pages for Mother's Day this year in DGD's book and 2 pages for DS1.

I should make sure to take some when we visit. For about the last 5 years or so my mom and I always take a photo together, even right before I leave if we haven't gotten one before then. This last time we both had our masks on! I always feel like if I don't get a photo I will always regret it. She knows we are taking a photo so she never fusses at me! |

I took a photo of the brunch spread we got from a local restaurant...yum! But I was fine with no pictures with my boys because I didn't feel like looking presentable.

Not a single photo  My husband was away at work and "left it too late" to organise a gift or flowers or anything of the sort. It was just another day of me running around after my two very young and active kids. He's having a tough time mentally at the moment so I'm trying not to be upset with him, but it did cast a bit of a grey cloud over my day.

I don't take photos often...I hate having my picture taken. For events like this and my birthday, I take photos of the stuff I'm given and maybe of my kids holding it, if they are bringing it to me. It gets a mention in my PL that way, but that's it.

I am thankful you were there for all of the patients who needed you. Sometimes family gets the short end. |

Just a snap chat selfie that I sent to my mom. My mom and I video chatted but I didn’t get a picture. We stopped by to visit my mil in her back yard but she didn’t want her picture taken so I took a picture of her tulips.

I took one pic yesterday, and do plan on scrapping a Mother's Day layout with it. It's a selfie of me & my two youngest. I also took some selfies of me with my two kids. I took waaaaaaaaay more than one though, because I knew it would be so hard to get even one that I was happy with. Sure enough, in the very few that I liked of myself, one or the other of the kids either had their eyes half closed or were pulling a silly face. The reason I decided on the selfie rather than having DSO take the photos with my DSLR, is because he just goes click click click, doesn't tell us when he's about to take the photo, so we're never ready. I knew that it would be way too stressful to get him to do it. |

With both of my son in drug addiction treatment . . . I was pretty sad on Mother's Day. We did celebrate with DH's mother and dad and took one photo to commerate the day. Do not get me wrong, I am thankful they are both getting the help they finally need, but Covid isolation has not been kind to our family!

Do not get me wrong, I am thankful they are both getting the help they finally need, but Covid isolation has not been kind to our family! (((Hugs))) I'm glad they are in treatment. I'm sorry it's been rough going for you & your family lately. Parenting is almost never the journey we think it will be when we first begin it. |
