Happy Mother's Day!

Well, I didn't have time yesterday to get out the Bakelite flatware. So collectible Friday will have to become collectible some other time during the week when I can get my ass in gear. Stay tuned.

I seem to have less and less time during the day. I'm pretty sure it is being stolen by someone and I would really like it back. Along with the flat stomach I had in my youth. Just give them back and no questions will be asked.

So today I am milking this Mother's Day holiday for all that it is worth. Personally, I find this to be a slightly ridiculous holiday, but that doesn't mean I won't use it to my advantage. I have used it to go out to lunch. I have used it to have the kid babysit BOTH of the dogs (he only ever takes the well-behaved one). I have used it to eat licorice. And I have used it to go to the rubber stamp store with the kid. Sweet!

Tomorrow I am going to milk it again. I figure two days out of the year devoted to me is fair. I really feel it is much to low for all I do but after about two days, the kid starts to revolt. Being at my beck and call for two WHOLE days just about kills him. Oh, nothing around our house is really all that different, I still do the dishes, cook the food, walk the dogs, feed all the other animals, drive everywhere, clean the house, and listen to yet another college story, only this weekend it is official. You know because last weekend I had no idea why I did all this stuff but this weekend I do. Hallmark told me. I would seriously be lost with Hallmark.

I love being a mom. It is a great job. I would like more days off and a higher wage but wouldn't everyone? So if Hallmark wants to give me a day who am I to argue. But really for me everyday is Mother's Day.
