Today is Mother's Day and day three of a three-day weekend. Kids around here get Oaks day off from school. (The Oaks is a race for fillies run the day before the Kentucky Derby.) I don't know why they get off for a horse race, all I know is that the it means an extra day for them to clutter up the house. Not that any rational person would call my house neat at any time, it's just now there's an extra layer of clutter over the normal stuff.
When I got up (late morning) I mentioned that it would have been nice if they had cleaned up some for a Mother's Day present to me. My husband pointed out that it's Mother's Day, not Miracle Day. Really. What was I thinking?

Then I think, it would be just as easy to miss having extra hands helping with the chores.
