Happy Mother's Day

For all my motheriffic friends. You know who you are!

For Mother's Day I would like a whole day alone in the house. That would be a present I would truly remember forever. I would spend the day writing chapter four of my novel, without looking at the clock, or answering the phone or baby monitor, or pausing to enrich anyone's life in any way.

It may be ironic, but more probably it's just evil, that for Mother's Day I'd like my children to leave me alone for a while. I think as penance I have to go spend the rest of the day feeling crushing guilt over my hypothetical escape plans. ;D Or possibly I'll just put the baby to bed for a nap, be thankful that Benny is at Ahno's for the afternoon, and write for an hour while I can.
