Wife. Mother. Health Nut. Small town girl trying to escape small town mentality. A square peg who finally knows the importance of NOT fitting in the round hole.

Happy Mother's Day
Anna Jarvis is recognized as the founder of the Mother's Day holiday in the United States of America. Funny thing, though, is that just a few years after Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother's Day as a national holiday, Jarvis and her sister became sour with the commercialization of the holiday and spent the rest of their years campaigning against it. What a shame.
I'm a mother. I have a mother. And I honestly can't stand Mother's Day. It's not that I don't think mothers are worthy of recognition - I do. I just refuse to sit back and let a government mandated holiday run by big corporations like Hallmark tell me that it's time to appreciate my mother and let her know how much she means to me. I'm fairly capable of figuring that out all on my own, thank you very much. And for the record, it happens more than once a year.
For those who simply love this holiday and look forward to the bouquet of flowers, box of candy, and loving Hallmark card that your children bestow upon you every year at this time, I hope you have a wonderful day of celebration and I hope it's enough to last you for the rest of the year.
I mean it. No sarcasm intended at all.
