Do you know how it feels to not be invited to your oldest daughter’s high school graduation even though you are the reason she is graduating, and you bought the dress and shoes she had to wear under the cap and gown?
Do you know how it feels to be told that you can come, but you will have to sit in the “crappy” seats behind the stage way far back because her non existent Dad will be getting the “good” seats since he is funding her current bad behavior?
Do you know how it feels to receive a text on graduation day telling you that even the “crappy” seats aren’t yours now- they’ve been given away and you aren’t welcome to come?
Do you know how it feels to see graduation pics of your daughter’s friends on Facebook and stare at them for hours hoping to just get a glimpse of what your firstborn looked like in her cap and gown?
Do you know how it feels to have to lie to your In-Laws and tell them that graduation went fine because you just didn’t know how the hell to explain to them that your child hadn’t invited her own Mother?
Do you know how it feels to show up at court to modify child support and see your oldest two children there ready to testify against you?
Do you know how it feels to ride around in a van all day in 90 degree heat and no a/c – even after you paid over $1000 to have it fixed?
Do you know what it’s like to clean up vomit from the same van because your two year old riding in the non a/c threw up from heat poisoning?
Do you know how it feels to to find out that the place where you got the a/c worked on doesn’t work on the weekends and therefore you have to continue to ride your little kids in the extremely hot van until Monday?
Do you know how it feels when your kids fight ALL DAY LONG?
Well if you don’t know how any of that feels, I’m here to tell you- it sucks.
May you never have to know how any of that feels. May you never be judged by anyone when you are doing the absolute best you can as a Mother considering the situation your kids have created for themselves. May your kids never spit in your face, even though you’ve given them everything and been there for them unconditionally since birth. May your friends truly be friends and not just say they are. May you actually get your money’s worth when you pay someone to fix something. May your kids not grate on your last nerve when you are really having a crappy day.
Her opening MY gift :) I couldn’t resist making little Miss Abigail a tutu!
Kim and her husband- this will be his first biological baby
This is a pic of the three TR sisters! Kim (from TN- in the blue shirt) also had her tubes untied by the same doctor. We three have been friends for over three years and were brought together by our tubal reversal journeys :)
Makenzie, Devin and Chase (Kim from TN’s youngest TR baby!)
Kim (from TN’s) husband and oldest TR baby- Brayden
Then today, our old neighbors Julie and Adam came by to see us. Adam is in the military and is leaving tomorrow for Kuwait. We hadn’t seen them in several years, so it was awesome to get to see them and their children. The last time we saw their little boy he was 2 years old and their daughter wasn’t even a thought yet… It was so good to visit with them. We feel honored they made time before Adam left to come and see us :) They were the best neighbors we’ve ever had- we have missed them so bad!
