Mother’s Day is Sunday May 14th. If you already know that your significant other and offspring are planning a celebratory extravaganza for you, you should find something else to read. For the rest of us, a bit of gentle nudging along with a few explicit instructions and a recipe suggestion or two may be in order.
You’re going to want to cut and paste, then print out the following:
Dear Family:
It’s me, mommy! I know how busy you all are, and I just wanted to take some of the stress off planning for Mother’s Day, since I know you want it to be perfect, and I am worried that you are all putting too much pressure on yourselves.
Here are some things you can do the night before:
- Locate tray for bringing me breakfast in bed.
- Pick up flowers, and find vase.
- Make sure there is coffee.
- Decide which recipes you are going to make.
- Set your alarm in some fashion that will not wake me up.
And here are a few recipes you might want to consider, for that big breakfast:
Mushroom, Caramelized Onion and Feta Frittata
You guys are really too much – thank you, in advance, for what I know will be the best Mother’s Day ever. I love you.
If you want to clip this note to a photo of a gift you’re lusting after, or an ad for a play you want to see, go right ahead. This is merely a springboard to get us all on the road to a delightful Mother’s Day. Best of luck to all of us!
