Mother’s Day
Saturday, May 10th, 2008Tomorrow will be my first Mother’s Day. Today I got to see my own mother and we took her out for Cuban food.
My gift from my mother was a platinum gold diamond ring with pave clusters. It is really beautiful.
Today was also my friend’s birthday and he had a dinner at an Italian chain. It was slightly awkward because I didn’t know that many people and my boyfriend and I were stuck at the end of the table with the baby. It’s always weird being the only people with a baby (especially when the other parents left theirs at home). What’s also very weird is when people ask about my “husband” when I’m not married, because they see I have a son. I used to hate it when heterosexual couples used the term “partner” because it seemed like they were posing and using a label that tried to put them in the same boat as same sex couples who use the term “partner”.
Actually, partner is a very appropriate term and I wish people would just use it more often. I am definitely in a partnership and maintaining the partnership is very important because we are also parents! We will always be partners.
Fashion-wise, today I wound up using my tank top as a diaper on my son because we ran out of diapers.
