—And \*\*there’s \*\* a thread title I never thought I’d be writing!

So, a very happy Mother’s Day to all of our wonderful Doper mothers; all of us who are expectant mothers; all of us who miss their mothers; all of us who would like to be mothers; all of us who feel that motherhood isn’t for them but they’re nice to kids anyway; all of us who are Mommy to some wonderful cat, dog, bird, fish, or other creature; and what the heck, happy Mother’s Day to all the guys too.

Because Mother Earth loves all of us.

Thank you!

I got breakfast made by Ivygirl, a big book on the history of Rome from the kids (Ivylad’s gift is coming later) and Ivyboy took me to dinner at Tijuana Flats and dessert at Ritter’s Frozen Custard.
