ORD/PHL/MOM
When it is the day that your 10 days of vacation fun ends and you must go to the airport to head home
At the Same Time saying goodbye to your dear friends and trying not to cry because they live so darn far away
While your lady parts are misbehaving in that way they misbehave each month (think gory, like the airport version of your favorite slasher flick)
Then it is probably safe to say that it is not destined to be the Very Best Mother's Day Ever.
Thus, it wasn't.
But I am still pretty wild over my kids and grateful to be able to parent with K. and all in all my day was probably a realistic mother's day, as I prefer it.
I could have lived without the gore. And the nauseating wait while taxi-ing. And the weeping. (Hormones, you may know, occasionally may have that effect on a person.)
But still I know I'm a lucky, lucky mom. I know it. Good enough, my friends, good enough.
