Mothers

You can never really understand the joy of being a mother until you are. After given the chance my wish for every women who wants to bare children that she have that right. I think it also helped me to appreciate my mother even more knowing what she had to go through. I'm not just talking about carrying me for 9 months but putting up with me for all these years. I was a pain in the butt. I am sure there are times I still am.

But anyways, this really has nothing to do with me being a pain in the butt. I tried looking up prices for plane tickets yesterday for Hubby. His mother lives in another state and best way to get there would be to fly. He hasn't seen his mom in a bit over 2 years. Last time was our wedding.

Long story short- When Hubby was 18 he came here to see his dad who he hadn't seen since he was about 2 years old. He always lived with his mom and for a short time his grandmother. So of course when he was old enough he wanted to come meet his dad. Well, one thing lead to another and he stayed here. Or maybe I should say he met a women and had kids! So he of course stayed to be with his kids. Then he met me! Now he really has to stay. Why would he want to leave now.

Well, his mom is still far away. She has been sick. She has had some clogged arteries (if I understand right) and has had some surgery.

Now my mother and I see each other maybe more than we should. But I like it that way. She enjoys seeing the kids. I could not imagine going 2+ years without seeing her. I also know that there will be a day I am very greatful for the time I had with her. Honestly if it was up to me we'd pack our things and move closer. You know that hour drive can be a pain sometimes! But until they move Hubby's work closer to my parents little town we are staying here. I refuse to let Hubby drive 1.5 hours to work each morning by 6am, but he has offered. That would be so wrong of me.

Anyways, I am off track here. I just think it would be a good idea for him to go see his mother. He also has a half brother he hasn't seen in 2+ years and a step-dad he hasn't seen for maybe 10 years. So I think its important he goes. Now of course I am very pregnant and each day I am even more pregnant and my belly just keeps getting bigger. I WILL NOT fly right now, even with permission. Heck I have gotten so big I probably wouldn't fit in on a plane. And who can afford in this economy to buy 4 plain tickets and have both working parents take time off of work. So I told hubby he should go alone and he has to go NOW. Before I go into labor.

Oh have you ever tried to get your hubby to cooperate. I mean who wouldn't want to get away and take a vacation? He's being a big pain in the butt about it. I maybe shouldn't have scared him because I am sure its already crossed his mind. I told him that he will regret not going if something happens to his mother.

I just hope in years to come my children will visit me! I also just hope Hubby comes to his senses!
