Before I wish the Mothers out there a Happy Mother’s Day, let me first say thank you for the many, many roles y’all play when wearing your various hats.
Thank you for the driving you do while wearing your family chauffeur cap.
Thank you for the cooking you do while wearing your family chef toque.
Thank you for the caring you do while wearing your family nurse cap.
Thank you for the cleaning you do while wearing your family maid apron.
Thank you for the educating you do while wearing your family teaching badge.
Thank you for the encouraging you do while wearing your family cheerleader uniform.
Thank you for the planning, comforting, shopping, organizing, scheduling, helping, guiding, researching, vetting, nurturing, protecting, and million other things you do without a specific outfit or accessory.
Thank you for everything, I hope your day is full of love and celebration.
Happy Mother’s Day.
Disclaimer/Reality Check: If you read this and feel like you don’t fill that many roles, I guarantee you do. Keep trying, I see you. This column will be about motherhood, parenting, and homemaking for the most part. It might be a parody of a popular kids song or the rewritten lyrics of a sweet lullaby. Most importantly, I don’t ever want this column to make another mama think she’s not doing enough. If you’re reading this, I want you to know that you are, you’re doing great, keep it up. Sing it with me: no-one is doing it allllll!
