Tired hearing about Mother's Day, yet?  Yeah, me too.  I mean, it's not like I don't appreciate being bombarded with a bazillion emails, reminding me that, you know, it's Mother's Day -- the biggest "gift-giving" and "phone-calling" day of the year -- because, I don't. 

Want any gifts or phone calls, I mean.

I did once, the following year after my oldest daughter was born, my husband Garth [not his real name] bought me a coffee mug that said, "I [heart] Mommy" with a little [heart] drawn in between.  The [heart] has long been rubbed off, but I still use it, every day.

My oldest is 15 now [UGH, I don't know how that happened, either] and we've since added a couple of mugs, or two, to our brood, so I guess, Mother's Day just has a whole different meaning, is all.

I know it must for my mom and my mother-in-law.

While, they look forward to spending a quiet Mother's Day surrounded by their family [i.e. grandchildren] all I want is to be, you know, left alone.

On the other hand, it's just one day, right?  Though, I really do try to remember that I love them, every day.  Still.  I can't help but think that I'll probably feel differently, in a few years.  Especially, the first time when one of my kids "forgets" to call me for Mother's Day.

So, instead, I have a gift for you, my mommy-type-blogging friends!

Snagged this video from Melissa [a.k.a. Suburban Scrawl] who I am officially naming my "mommy-porn muse" this week [you're welcome!] because...YES!...me love the faces of Deadliest Catch...long time:

[Edited to Add:  Video was made "private" after I posted this...sorry, he/she doesn't want to share...but, here's the original "cleaned-up" version from Discovery without the [bleeping!] DAMNIT.  Still, my thoughts remain the same.]

Guess what ELSE we're doing on Sunday?  Go ahead, I'll wait.

[heavy sigh]

Happy [bleeping] Mother's Day, my friends!
