Mother's Day

I guess it's not until I am a mother that I understand to appreciate my mother. How cliché! But it's so true. Sigh. You must think I am a daughter who is not grateful and all that.

I am. I am much much even more grateful of my mother now.

Mother's Day finally becomes my holiday. Remember DearJulie used to celebrate Children's Day, or Single Awareness Day?! I don't really have a plan but I know ideally how I would like to spend it.

I want to spend it WITHOUT my son.

There are a lot of things I can do:
- Do a DVR marathon to finish all the shows recorded and need to be deleted
- Research for some good books and read them (yeah, didn't even have time to know what books are out)
- A long, non-interrupted, without beeper work-out session
- Go shopping and actually try on things and buy them
- A long massage session, like, 2 hrs
- Clean and decorate my office space
- Catch up on work
- Shred all the junk mail
- Cook a decent meal

However, I really don't think that  24-hr Mother's Day would be sufficient time for me to accomplish all the above. And it is quite unlikely that I can spend it without my son. The other day I said to someone "my son is the extension of me and goes everywhere I go, even the ladies room". Therefore there is no way I can have my ideal Mother's Day but I would take the best possible kind I could get.

My wish for Mother's Day is that Miles will say Mama before he says Dada.
