I have come to the conclusion that mother's day is nothing more than a way to make moms feel bad for wanting a day off.
Being a mother of 2 girls, ages 2 and 3, is nothing short of exhaustive. Everyday starts at 6 am with a disgruntled toddler or two. Climbing into be with you, stepping on your face, rummaging through your underwear drawer or worse. Oddly enough when your not woken up abruptly you wake up in a panic thinking your children have escaped the house and are heading towards the horse pasture.
So when mother's day comes around (more like the day before), people ask "aww what are you going to do on your day off" or say "go do something special for yourself" All I can say is... "are you kidding me?!" Lol
While the gesture is appreciated the reality is moms don't get days off. At least not in the way of set schedules. We take our free time when our children's time allows and that is just fine with me.
