Mothers Day vs. a Birthday

For 14 years, I have declared Mother's Day to be Mother's Day Weekend. Tis a time for all those in the Oz family to honor, cherish, and be my slaves in whatever I choose to do, whatever I choose to have them get for me ("I want a diet coke...." and wha-la....it appears). I get to choose the shows we watch on TV, I get to choose what and when we eat, I get to be totally selfish (no comments from the D & R Brother Peanut Gallery...I am not always totally selfish!). I get to be the Queen....for a WHOLE weekend!

This year, I am unable to declare such a weekend...seems one little King turns two years old tomorrow (where the heck did the time go?!)...which means Mother's Day Weekend is back to Mother's Day only; and I am lucky 'cuz it isn't L-Keys Birthday Weekend yet. (The perils of declaring a weekend for yourself during a holiday....the kid (read prince) then feels it is duty, nay right to declare any time around his birthday to be his Birthday Weekend. I am sure that this will end up being the same for his younger bro' the King).

But Wait!!!! This whole thing can change! I can declare the weekend the King's..and open a new Hallmark Holiday...yea yea....Mother's Day Week to start on Sunday....

So here is to the new Hallmom Holiday...Mother's Day Week. And I have a question......Have you bought me my 7 days worth of presents yet? Deliver them to the local restaurant....we are eating out the entire week.
