Happy Mother's Day

A nice brunch, a small gift and a bouquet of flowers would easily run more than $124. Doesn’t seem excessive to me.

$124 divided by 365 days of mothering per year is…about 34 cents per day. I don’t need that spent on me–I’m pretty happy with a homemade card and a home-cooked breakfast–but I don’t think it merits an “oh my god what do you wasteful people spend your money on?” reaction either.

I did tell my daughters that if they want to give me flowers this year, they can dig the dandelions out of the front yard! :D
