Happy Mother’s Day!

A Happy Mother’s Day to all, I hope you’ve enjoyed your day.

Admittedly, my second Mother’s Day without a mother is still a little odd, for me, but, well, not much I can do about that.

However, my dad stepped up and called me today. He was worried that the day was “almost over” and that he was late with his good wishes. Actually, I don’t think he’s ever called me, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t see why he has to wish me a Happy Mother’s Day since I’m not his mother.

You have to understand, though, that his own mother (for whom I am named, but I never met) was a pretty stern lady and there’s no telling what he was told about Mother’s Day when he was growing up.

I had a nice day, nothing terribly busy. My daughter babysat for her brothers so my husband and I could go out to eat, that was very nice and nobody ended up bruised or battered, either.

I’d call that a success.
