Isn’t it ironic that if you take away the “M” in “Mother’s Day” you end up with “Other’s Day?” Moms sure do know all about that – out of 365 days in the year, they’re spending 364 days caring for others. So it’s only fair that moms get at least one day when they’re treated like queens.
Think about it – where would you be without your mother? She brings you into this world kicking and screaming. Despite that rude greeting, she feeds you and cleans up after you and watches over you when you’re a baby, a toddler, a youngster, a teenager…and sometimes beyond (you know who you are!).
Moms can do anything and everything. They’re corporate titans, soldiers, doctors, truck drivers, educators, scientists, sports stars, movie stars…the list is unending. And many times, so are their days. More often than not when they get home from work, tired and frazzled, they have to put on their “mom” hat and drive the kids to soccer practice and play rehearsals and doctor’s appointments, not to mention whip up tasty dinners, wash and put away the laundry and feed the cat and dog. Whoever came up with the phrase “A woman’s work is never done” sure hit the nail on the head!
So here’s to you, all mothers of the world. Your shoulders are broad, your stamina is enviable, and your “job” as a mom often goes unappreciated. That is, of course, unless it’s Mother’s Day. Enjoy your moment in the spotlight – you deserve it!
