Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t think that we should have to designate a special day just to honor our mothers. You know that I feel that we should be doing that every day. However, its hard to keep the spark up on something like that if you do it every day. So, today, I want to say, “Happy Mother’s Day” to my mom, Barbara June Thompson and to my mother in-law Bonnie Jean Rodday. As well, I wish a happy Mother’s day to my wife, Angela Frances Thompson, who has strangely stuck with me for over 13 years. To all the mothers out there, who may or may not feel appreciated, I extend good wishes to you as well. Its a wonderful think to care for and raise your children, and I think that the burden (or joy) falls on our mothers the most. So, if you have no other recourse, as the house is full of noisy kids, sneak into your bathroom, turn on the fan and lock the door. Park yourself on the flush (you don’t have to use it) with a book and take at least 10 minutes to yourself. You deserve more, but that’s at least a good start.

Oh, what I would have done for just ONE minute alone yesterday
Maybe you could try for a do over. Maybe set your alarm clock for some late night time so you can wake up and be alone for 1 minute (of course you may remain awake of you try this…)
