Some are bigger than others (shut up!). Those who are more, shall we say, dramatic (who, me?) recognize more of them. I just realized tonight that this year marks my mother's 60th birthday and my parents' 40th anniversary (in addition to my own 10th with DH). Also this year, we had Jacob's first team sport, the first time I've heard my boss admit my last review was less than fair (although we all know I don't blog about work, so you didn't see that), Jacob, Danny's and my first allergy workups, Danny's 2nd ER visit, Benjamin's first smiles, giggles, sleeping, etc. I'd like to do something really nice both for my mom's birthday and my parents' anniversary, but it's hard. We're not set up in any decent way to entertain, so I can't do much here. My mother can't stand surprises, so I'd need their blessings. I can e-mail to my mom's best friend to enlist her help, but all I can think to do is coordinate a nice dinner at the home of one of their friends. I had a long converation with my big brother on my way home from work today, and he was telling me how being laid off in 2003 basically "ruined" his life. Now he's a slave to his mortgage and the way of life he'd created for his family, and completely stressed out. He's got other issues to deal with besides the money thing, but that sure ain't helping. And DH and I know that pain -- the layoff, the crap that comes with it, and having to readjust your life. So I guess those can be milestones, too. Just not the ones I like all that much. I've been too tired and busy to blog much lately, though I've wanted to write. So, since I missed doing a Mother's Day post, I'll just wish happy milestones -- big and small -- for all the mothers out there. May all your tears be ones of joy. |
