I used to think every payday was Mothers Day because I found myself paying money to nearly every "mother" in town. OK, bad joke. But seriously, with Mothers Day having just passed, I'm wondering just how many moms I should thank on this annual holiday.
First I bought a card for my mom. I mean, of course, she's the one who brought me into this world and raised me the best she could. Then when I decided to go take her the card, I started thinking of my grandma, my mom's mom who just happens to live with my mom at the current time. And I thought, "gee, I can't take a card to my mom and leave good old gram out, can I?" So, needless to say I got grandma a card. Then I thought, "gee I can't get one grandma a card and not the other, can I?" I mean, what if word got to my other grandma that I got one for my mom's mom, but not her? Another card purchase had to be made. Then, I started thinking about my step-mom. Could I give my mom and grandmas cards, yet leave out the love of my dad's life--a woman who has been part of our family for nearly 20 years herself? No, I couldn't. FTD to the rescue.
I finally got smart and quit thinking about it while I still have money left in the bank.
What about you? How many cards and/or gifts do you give on Mothers Day? When is enough enough?
It's all very confusing! ???
