Mother's Day

So today was another Mother's Day.  What I don't understand is why a mother is working her proverbial *** off cleaning, cooking, baking, shopping when it is supposed to be her day?  I am the Mother and yet it is one of the most exhausting days of the year.  Didn't anyone think, when they were creating this Hallmark Holiday, to make rules?  Like - if it is Mother's Day, all those who are not the mother should be doing the cooking, cleaning, baking, etc. And the Mothers get to relax, be pampered, and enjoy their day.  Obviously the creator of this holiday was not a mother - not even a woman.  It was a man who said, yes - let's honor all the mothers in the world by having a day to be presented with cards and flowers and they in turn can cook us a great meal!  What a great idea????

So next year, I think I will take my Mother and we will take Mother's Day off.  Go away somewhere so we can relax and rest.  Oh, and the cards and flowers?  Give them to your Dad.
