Happy Mothers’ Day
Notice where the apostrophe is placed. Drives me nuts when I see “Mother’s Day” because the way I see it, this is a day for ALL the mothers.
Anyway.
I had a nice weekend. I baked a pie (more on that later), had a pedicure, read a book, watched a movie, did laundry, went to two Girl Scout events, went out to dinner, attended First Communion mass for a young friend of ours, drank some lovely tea (new flavors from Teavana, courtesy of my husband) and goofed around. Pretty much the perfect weekend.
On the downside, my pie was a failure (post to come, I promise) and I managed to spill three-quarters of a cup of Mudhouse coffee all over me and the inside of my car (and the First Communion card for our friend). I was a sight. Coffee on my shirt, skirt, legs, shoes, carseats; everywhere — I could not believe how far it spread. And of course it was hot, so I sat there in my car going, “Ow, ow, ow,” before I composed myself enough to drive home, sopping wet and pouting. (I drank the remainder and it was still good.) I WAS glad that I was on my way home when I decided to take my java bath. I don’t know what I would have done if I’d been on the way somewhere and running late.
For Mothers’ Day I’d like to share some of the mom blogs I enjoy as my little gift to you. I hope you like them, too. Here’s what I read, in no particular order:

I hope you all had a wonderful, celebrated day.

Thanks MJ. Hope you’re having a wonderful Mother’s Day.

I actually purposefully place the apostrophe to make it singular, because when I’m wishing a specific mother to have a happy day, I want it to be clear that I’m wishing it for her. . . if that makes any sense. And it probably doesn’t.
So— Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mothers’ Day (one day late). I hope it was worthy of all that you do.

I am reminded of the time that my family stopped at Starbuck’s prior to a movie. In the parking lot of the theater, drinking coffee and wasting time goofing around, my husband said, “Do you want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?” He then produced the most annoying sound in the world while I was simultaneously drinking coffee. Said coffee exited through my nostrils, covered my windshield, stained my pants, and got in my hair. So, I watched the movie wet, stained, nostrils burning, and sticky stinky hair. Then I drove home peering through a windshield stained with mocha.

Thanks for the mention. Even though my blog is so pitiful. N-E-Way! Happy belated Mothers’ Day to you as well! I’m glad you had a fairly decent one. I did too.
