The best Mother's Day gift is a day off

After the handmade construction paper cards your kids make you at school, the best Mother's Day gift is a day off of work. There is no better gift than everyone you take care of each day taking care of themselves. You know this is true. The whole burnt toast delivered to sleeping mom on a tray is a Mother's Day staple. Just take the idea through the rest of the day. Tell your family: Everyone dress yourselves. Feed yourselves. Try to tie your own shoes. Try to remember all the stuff you're going to need when you leave the house. And if you are simply to small to handle it, please try to ask Dad first for help. Just this one day.
