I'm not a fan of mother's day either. My mom passed away 8 years ago, and every time mother's day approaches and I see all of the television ads touting mother's day, and it makes my heart ache. To add insult to injury, I also had the several YEARS of trying, unsuccessfully, to conceive.

Well, I've finally managed to conceive, but I don't think this will make me any fonder of mother's day.

Why don't you make it a "you" day, and schedule a massage and a cocktail hour with friends? Take back the day! After all, it was pretty much invented by Hallmark as a racket for selling cards.
