I think it is funny that people associated with the colleges will remark that Mother's Day ALWAYS falls on graduation. This is year is one example where the two did not coincide.
When my girls were little, and mothering consumed most of my waking hours, what I wanted most for the holiday was a clean house (done by someone else!) and a little quiet time to myself. Now that my children are grown and independent, I relish the chance to connect with them on Mother's Day. I had a nice chat with one daughter on the phone and shared dinner with my other daughter who brought over some delicious blackberry tarts for dessert.
In-between-time in the afternoon, I did manage to have some quiet time to myself, and although the house was not perfectly clean, it was clean enough for me to enjoy.
