Happy Mother's Day

Why am I supposed to be happy about today?

Oh, wait. I'm not.

I'm not a mother.

Just a daughter.

Just a sister.

Just an aunt.

Not just a daughter, sister, or aunt.

I'm an infertile daughter, sister, and aunt.

At least this year I won't have to pretend that my sister is a wonderful mother.

I could send my mom an email, but since she hasn't responded to my emails or phone calls for nearly a month, what's the point in trying today?

Instead of celebrating motherhood, I'll be pretending it doesn't exist.

Oh wait, I won't be able to.

As the universe would have it, I have nursery duty at church. ON MOTHER'S DAY. FML.

"FML?" Really? That seems excessive given that you were AT CHURCH.
