Mother's Day

Sunday is Mother's Day, a day that in the past has brought me a great deal of emotional pain as I struggled to become a mother.
This is my first mother's day ever, and John and Cooper already gave me my present, a four slice toaster. Is this a retro present? Yes. Did I want the four slice toaster? Absolutely. It was what I wanted for Mother's Day as our two slicer wasn't cutting it anymore with the three  of us.
 
My mother will not send me a Mother's Day card because in her universe I am not a mother until the adoption is final. Finalization has been postponed indefinitely as Hazmat has finally filed her appeal two weeks after the forty-five days expired. It was not unexpected, but don't ask me to be happy about it.
 
 I am all done with my classes for the  summer, so now I can work on my creative thesis, while working twenty hours a week at Rowan. I have a social worker visit today and C's good bye visit is Thursday.
I also have a job interview tomorrow at an all girls school in DE.
 
We'll see how it all goes.
