Sometimes I write this post a day or two earlier and other times I wait for inspiration to strike on Sunday morning. (Ok, really I just get behind and have to scramble to get this weekly summary done by my self-imposed deadline.) Today I’m writing at 5:30 am while the rest of my house sleeps. My six-year-old is intent on making me breakfast in bed. I cringe at the thought of post-“lovely gift” kitchen clean-up but I am honoring this Mother’s Day tradition. I’ll scurry back to bed, reading my book, when I hear her stirring as I’m sure many moms will also do today. I am looking forward to a day, second only to my birthday, where I can be treated like a queen (and act like one too.)
Happy Mother’s Day, all. May your breakfast in bed be tasty and free of spills. (Mother’s Day articles can be found here.)
