mother's day

Well, it's my first official Mother's Day. And instead of a big smarmy post about how great I think it is to be a mom - how all of the hard work, no sleep, insane amounts of worry, and persistant pounds that refuse to go away is completely and totally 100% worth it - I will tell you that, man, I feel old! I know at the ripe old age of 34 I'm hardly "babies having babies" over here, but for some reason, Mother's Day seems like something old people should be celebrating. Anyway, it's still cool, because as you all know, I love s*** like this, and I love getting little presents and cards, and so I'm pretty psyched. I'm heading off to my mom's in a little bit, but I wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there, whether you are mom to a kid, or a cat, or a dog, or a fish, or a friend, or whathaveyou. You rock!

PS Shane, go visit your mom (there is your second shout out - are you happy?).

Motherhood in general makes me feel old - just saying the phrase "my son" ages me by five years.

Happy Mother's Day!

Haha yes! I AM happy.

I did visit my mother. And I didn't even bring all my laundry for her to do. I left some of it at home, because I'm a good son.

HOW did you get your title bar to do that?!? I must acquire something in my life visually worthy and imitate you. As I do most things.
