Today is Mothers' Day, but the mother of my boys has to work. So, we made her a nice pancake breakfast (I did the pancakes and William cooked sausage), and tonight we'll have a nice dinner and a couple of surprises for her.
I wish that I could give her something else for Mothers' Day: time off. Not just a day off, but a change from working in big-box retail, a chance to do something satisfying and enriching, where she has more control over her time and her life.
It's not that Karen doesn't like designing kitchens. It's all the other stuff she has to deal with working in corporate retail that she—and the rest of her family—could do without.
I can't give her that gift this Mothers' Day. But I am working toward it.
