Mother's Day 2015 -- Did you know . .
.
Mother's Day is a
holiday honoring motherhood that is observed in different forms throughout the
world. The American incarnation of Mother's Day was created by Anna Jarvis in
1908 and became an official U.S. holiday in 1914. Jarvis would later denounce
the holiday's commercialization and spent the latter part of her life trying to
remove it from the calendar. While dates and celebrations vary, Mother's Day
most commonly falls on the second Sunday in May and traditionally involves
presenting mothers with flowers, cards and other gifts.
You Know
You're a Mother When ...
You count the
sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal.
You have time to
shave only one leg at a time.
You hide in the
bathroom to be alone.
Your kid throws-up
and you catch it.
Someone else's kid
throws up at a party. You keep eating.
As you cling to the
high moral ground on toy weapons; your child chews his toast into the shape of a
gun.
You hope ketchup is
a vegetable, since it's the only one your child eats.
You find yourself
cutting your husband's sandwiches into cute shapes.
You hear your
mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "NOT in your good
clothes!"
You stop criticizing
the way your mother raised you.
You donate to
charities in the hope that your child won't get that disease.
You hire a sitter
because you haven't been out with your husband in ages, then spend half the
night checking on the kids.
You use your own
saliva to clean your child's face.
You say at least
once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job", but you know you wouldn't trade it
for anything".
