Today is Mother's Day in the UK which, as our poor mothers have found out, we do not always remember because Mother's Day in the US is in a completely different month. Sometimes, we have observed US Mother's Day instead because at least then we can pick out a card but the cards say Mom rather than Mum, so that doesn't really work either. Anyway, Happy Mother's Day to our long-suffering mums and to all who mother in some way.
This week, I was invited at the last minute to join Exile #4's class as a chaperone to see a production of The Little Mermaid at the local private school. I was strategically placed next to a group of chatty 5th graders, which made it all the more exciting. I began to wonder if the two chaperones who dropped out thought better of it for that very reason. Still, the show was nicely done by the middle school and it was interesting to see inside the school, as it is where all of the town's children go to high school.
Meanwhile, having celebrated St David's Day and Pi Day (and national tortilla chip day but that was stretching things a bit), this week we can look forward to celebrating St Patrick's Day, the day when everything turns green and everyone is Irish. Top of the morning to you!
