Happy Mother's Day to all women (and some men) because there is no "One Size Fits All" Mother
Today many American Moms will be lavished with homemade noodle art, fingerpaintings and clay-pots with a plant we hope not to kill before the 4th of July. Some are served breakfast in bed, which may or may not actually resemble food. There are some Moms who will choose to sleep in and spend the day pampering themselves on this, the Day that Celebrates Mothers. Others will choose- or be chosen to- spend the day with their children doing whatever activities her children have chosen for the day. There is no right or wrong way to celebrate Mother's Day. To every woman out there who is blissfully celebrating Motherhood, I raise my morning coffee cup (made by my son) to you and salute you. You have one of the hardest jobs in the world. And without monetary compensation. (But if you could get paid, what would you earn? Here is a fun Mom's Salary Wizard that will help you figure it out right down to what you would earn locally. It was fun. But I still don't see anyone cutting me a check.)
