Mother's Day Eve

On the eve of Mother's Day and I can't help but be just a touch melancholy. Two beautiful children to share it with and no one around me to celebrate it with me. No one to commend my hard work, to spoil me, to tell me I'm beautiful and appreciated. I don't even feel that way about myself at the moment. And normally I do. Today, I feel unattractive. Perhaps it has to do with this cold. Perhaps it has to do with the decline in male attention (that I never liked anyway so go figure), but I also won't seek it. I deserve and want more and so do my kids. They have it from me. Someday, I'll give it to myself.
