I find I'm not very sentimental these days. Went through my mom's house, chucked massive amounts of things, including pictures, etc. Mother's Day? No, thanks. Valentine's day? Uh-uh. Which is interesting, because I used to be downright maudlin. And I'm not entirely sure what changed. Maybe it's just that I'm getting older and the easy tears and emotion of youth are drying up? But many of the moms I know who are older than I am are still bowled over by the cutesy cards and the tear-soaked emails. Sometimes I think it's Matthew, that the feeling of such unadulterated emotion makes the manufactured kind less palatable.
Either way, I hope my children don't grow up scarred by the lack of the Easter bunny.
