One of our speakers in church this morning said that it was against the rules in his family to celebrate Mother's Day.  He explained that they figured that it ought to be celebrated ever day, not just on one day.  I kinda agree with him, but I am a pragmatist (whatever that is) and I go along with the celebration, although I admit that I don't actually do much of it myself.  I did ask Sheila what she wanted for this Mother's Day/birthday time while I was driving her over to her sister's, which was sort of a Mother's Day gift that she had expressed to me that she wanted.   I even let her stay long enough to actually talk with Jeannette (!) as well as deliver to her 7 chocolate dipped strawberrys. (She was only going to give her 3, but I shamed her into giving her more.)  It was raining so she decided against a trip to the cemetery which had also been on her list for today.  No, I didn't bring her breakfast in bed, and no, I didn't buy her any flowers or candy.  We did talk about a movie and going out to dinner on her birthday though.  And I only ate 1/2 of the cupcake that the ward relief society gave her at church!  She did receive several phone calls from you family and a visit from Richard and Kathy.  I suppose that we can even count Robert and Cicily showing up last night to get their kids as we had supposed the possibility of having to put them to bed and them getting picked up sometime during the night.  I wasn't a very romantic guy on this special day, but then I'm not that way on regular days either.  I did hep her with her computer generated employment opportunities and now she has 2 jobs for the coming week:  1 tomorrow for 2 hours, and and then a 4 hour 'gig' for her birthday (Tuesday).  And just before I started this entry I went out and stood in the drizzle to pump so we don't have to worry too much about the for the night.  (I hope!)  I had to get up early this morning, but the pressure is off for tomorrow morning.  I might just stay up later reading and pondering some heavy doctrine stuff that has been on my mind today.  Seems that just when I get ready to end my day and go to bed something turns on inside my head and I want to dip into the scriptures or the Ensign and nourish myself spiritually.  I like it a lot when I can do that.
