No, I am not confused about the date. March 21st, in addition to being the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere, is also Mother’s Day in most of the Arab world. So, what does that mean for me? You guessed correctly, I let my family celebrate twice!
We were back at school today after our two ‘Sand Days’. (See here and here for more.) Now it is the weekend and I am looking forward to a Wednesday night with my little one. Our ritual is to play a bit, have dinner, get ready for bed early, and watch a ‘movie’ (either an act of Swan Lake, Blue’s Clues, or Elmo’s World) while eating popcorn, snuggled on the couch.
Gotta go snuggle! It’s Mother’s Day, after all.
i hope you have a happy mother's day! It sounds like a fun day with your family. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day Kristi...enjoy your time with your family...
ReplyDeleteFirst Kristi, thank you for your kindness yesterday. Actually you might have noticed you were the first commenter & you smoothed my nerves as others followed your lead. Thank you for that. And, today for you-Happy MOther's Day! I hope your day has been very nice and cheery, with more plans than you can handle!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky to get two Mother's Days! Sounds like great plans, watching movies, snuggling, and popcorn. That's a good day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day! It should be every day so you should at least celebrate twice.
ReplyDeleteback to you Kristi! Yes, to all students 3x weekly. I had about 22-24 students - 6th through 8th - one gets fast at it, actually unless a student writes very seriously about something, then it takes much longer! Once a week is good too, I think!
