Why Mothers Day makes me feel uncomfortable….

I love Mothers’ Day. I mean, what mother wouldn’t? The world basically revolves around us for the entire day.

The idea behind Mothers’ Day is to thank our mothers for all they have done and most families give mom a break from her duties for the day. Here’s the problem with that idea…

I get a break everyday.

My husband does the majority of the cooking and, quite honestly, the cleaning. I take the brunt of the kid duties, but that’s because he’s already got his hands full. I feel guilty on Mothers’ Daybecause my husband, quite literally, won’t let me even helpwith the stuff he already does.

I can’t wait for Fathers’ Day!

I will say, however, that this Mothers’ Day has been particularly awesome. My girls made me an exorbitant number of cards (Pumpkin alone has given me five already) and the gifts they brought home from school are some that I will keep forever.

The new gym bag was just icing on the cake since mine was falling apart at the seams (literally). Plus, my husband went out and got me french toast from IHOP for breakfast (YUM).

This one goes down as one of the best Mothers’ Days I’ve ever had.

To all the moms out there, Happy Mothers’ Day! I hope this day is as special for you as it has been for me!

  3. What a great Mother’s Day for you! I agree with you in your feelings on Mother’s Day. I had the gift of time in the garden yesterday. The best gift was Brian helping me finish a garden project I started LAST summer. Totally unplanned but I am so thrilled!
