Mothers

Guess what today is? Yep, it's Mother's Day, the one day of the year where we actual take time out of day to appreciate what our mothers have done for us. If you think about it, it's kinda pathetic. Awfully blunt if I do say so myself, but to be honest, our mothers spend eighteen years and nine months of their lives taking care of us, and they only get one day? Like, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF).  That's only 18 days that they are celebrated until we go off to college, and that's counting the years where we don't even know what a day is.

Now, I'm not saying that none of us appreciate our mothers, but do we really show it? God knows I love and appreciate my mother, but to be honest, I'm kinda an arse to her most of the time. Maybe not all the time, but I barely take time to appreciate her chauffeuring me around everywhere, our making me food, or not slapping me when I don't wake up... like, ever. I think that everyday should be Mother's Day, well... maybe not everyday, because then when is there time for somebody as perfect as me?

My mom has done a great job (so far, let's hope she doesn't screw anything up) and I'm living proof of that. My brother and I, we're some pretty kickass guys, ask anybody (answers may vary). I mean, I'm pretty great, it takes a lot of work to raise a kid as great as I am. She raised a kid who is smart, athletic, handsome, and he's not at all narcissistic. Thank the Lord that she let me crash in her womb for nine months, that place was hecka' cool.

As my Instagram feed floods with people wishing their mom's a happy Mother's Day, I have to wonder, what will happen tomorrow? Will everyone wake up and see their own mother with this newfound appreciation? To be honest, I don't believe that I or anybody else will go back to treating their mothers like they have today, we'll all go back to being the unappreciative arses that haunt or mother's live until this day comes around again. Kinda sad, isn't it? As cheesy as this sound, it's true, we all really do need to appreciate our mother's, everyday.

So, I have a preposition. Everyday, give your mom a call, or a text, or a hug, and thank her for one thing, anything at all. As dumb as this sound, I believe that our mothers deserve it. No discrimination either, give your dad a call, or a hug, or a text, and thank him too. After all, our parents are the reason that we are alive, literally. All of this goes for fathers too, but that's a post for another day.

Sorry about the seriousness of this post, I know it's not my kinda style (other than my first two posts), but I feel that this all needs to be said. Another post will be up later today, so subscribe... I guess?
