The song went, "There's a kind of Hushhhh all over the world tonight"... Well its kinda/sorta like that today for Mother's (and Father's too) all over the country today. I saw women putting their kids on the school busses then doing the "Football" dance right there on the sidewalks. Many of them "Chest bumped" each other(Ow) and many even made the sign of the cross for the poor bus drivers.
Places like Starbucks and little corner bistro thingies had to stock up ahead, preparing for the herds of women that would be hitting them. Extra sweets were baked and bought just for this auspicious occasion.
All over the country there came that famous audible sigh...the sigh of women settling down in a comfy chair or at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, tea, whatever and listening to the sounds of silence in the house. (Dont tell me you havent done this at least Once in your life!!)
For some reason the coffee, tea, whatever tastes So good this morning as you sip its magnificence and nibble on something good. You've worked hard for a solid week to get the laundry caught up, get the dusting and polishing finished, do the bathrooms and floors ahead of time just for this day. Today is Your day..free to go to the Mall and just walk aimlessly, just looking at places in the mall that you never even relized was there, because you were always on the Other side of said Mall in the children's section, or arcade. You are Free!.....Until 3:30 when that big yellow vehicle comes back down the road, or until you have to go pick them up and bring them back home.
So my Sisters (And Brothers that are raising children) relish in your quiet and freedom this day! A day that Should be made a national holiday to be celebrated once a year! I salute you! (And I thank the Spirits that mine are done grown..lol) :bigrin:
Cheers!
