Happy Mother’s Day
Posted on May 14th, 2006 in General
Today is one of my more favorite holidays. I know, I am a male and I am supposed to be of the mindset that Mother’s Day was created by a bunch of female jewelry store owners, candy stores owners and restauranteurs to thrust their businesses to the next level. Well, I’m not. I actually enjoy mother’s day.
My wife is a champ. She is an example of what a mother should be. She’s a five-child having, homeschool teaching, husband pleasing wonder woman. How she manages to maintain her status (as noted in the previous sentence) is beyond me. As a man, I can’t wrap my mind around the concept of being a mother. Sure, I am a father to those five kids, but it in no way compares to what mom brings to the table. It is an entirely different perspective.
Somehow she manages to make it through every day with her hair intact, her eyes dry, her sanity somewhat in tact and her nerves only a little frazzled. I have played the role of stuck-at-home mom on a few ocassions, and I will tell you, every mother in the world, whether she has one child or 20 children, deserves a round of applause for what she endures on a daily basis. Throw in homeschooling and she deserves a medal.
So for me, mother’s day is not some entrepreneurial holiday developed to spike the ecomonic forecast for a day. No. It is something a lot more real, more relevent and more sentimental. Today is the day that mom gets her medal, her applause and a much needed pampering.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mom’s everywhere.
