happy mother's day

so i found this interesting little tidbit on the history of mother's day. from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day_Proclamation
"The "Mother's Day Proclamation" by Julia Ward Howe was one of the early calls to celebrate Mother's Day in the United States. Written in 1870, Howe's Mother's Day Proclamation was a pacifist reaction to the carnage of the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. The Proclamation was tied to Howe's feminist belief that women had a responsibility to shape their societies at the political level."

the proclamation can be found on the link. so originally it was in order to unite mother's in a pacifist capacity. so there - there is your little tidbit of knowledge for today

as for my mother's day. it was fine. today was definitely a heavy chat day for the kid. i swear that kid talks so much - i'm gonna have to record it for ya. all carl and i can do is just laugh. the best is when i hear myself comeout o fhis mouth. he was arguing with us about whether carl's van was a van or a car. mind you many of his arguments go like this "no it's not black ; it's black" um okay. anyway, he kept insisting cara nad we kept saying no van. so finally we hear "pshh, fine, whatever, it's a van" good good stuff

i hope you all had a lovely mother's day - whatever you did.

oh, and i got the original buffy movie - to round out my joss whedon collection. just need the dr. horrible series now. well, that and we'll see when they release dollhouse.
