Friggin Friday

So I 'd like to say today just blows! It started off we me dropping a knife on my foot ..yay. Not too much damage thank he Lord. Then I come home to my A.C. broke and not cooling all while the 12 cases of wine we have are sitting in the bedroom at 80 degrees in a Texas summer. FML Then while my boyfriend is out of town and I'm stuck to deal with the mess of this a.c. business the cat Frank aka asshole decides to puke up the tuna I gave him all over the carpet in the hallway.Although I did not discover this at first as I look closer as he swats at it and that's when I realize it's puke on the floor and he's playing with it like some kind of Slingblade character. Then here's the kicker...going through menopause and then suddenly  my body says..fuck you today and I cramp violently until I want to roll over and die but still nothing happens. So in short I;m going to get drunk, FUCK THIS DAY (drops mike walks away)

Mother's Day or day of peddling our wares?

For any of you who know me, know that I am a florist and in being so I participate actively in Mother's Day as do many around the world.  It is if you will our "bread and butter" and essentially gets us through the year just like Valentine's but only more so as everyone loves their mothers but not their wives. 😆 

 (Ahem) Well then, are you familiar with the start of Mother's Day and where it originated from? It all started with a girl named Anna and her immense love for her mother who was a civil war caregiver. You see Anna Jarvis daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis a peace activist who died in 1905 held a service for her mother in honor of her the year she died at their church because she wanted to honor her and continue her efforts and then pursued it as a national holiday with the U.S government and supreme courts although it was rejected. It wasn't until 1914 that President Woodrow Wilson made it a national holiday and from there the idea seemed to take off all over the world although it was called by different names and dates everywhere but the concept remained the same. 

That is until Hallmark commercialized it like the Satanic company they are and started to profit from it and soon all companies were on the band wagon including florists...yes me as well, to make this a selling point and alas the concept of the holiday was lost on generations. Anna even protested it on several occasions stating that the holiday was to recognize mothers with meaningful things like hand written letters and such not pre packed and produced meaningless dribble. Unfortunately she lost that battle and now we have companies all over the world shoving their products down our throats and that has become a norm for society. 

We forgot what it means to be a mom and what it means to be a child and to look up to mom and respect her and all that she has done for us. All those days and nights she worked, helped us with school work, cleaned, made lunches, broke her back and scraped and saved to do all she could to help us succeed. These days all we see on social media is kids being disrespectful to their parents and that is just intolerable. You see the little kid saying" Linda, Linda, listen..) and the (cash me outside how bow dat) stupid child who gets her own show when she just needs her ass whipped. All because we entertain this behavior as if it's comical when in reality it's sad. I do not watch anything that promoted stupidity by the way.

Parenting has gone out the window and so did our family values. It saddens me so. I would like you to do me a favor and I'm as guilty as you are of this but instead of buying her a card this year , take 5 minutes to write all the great things she has done for you that come to mind and thank her for it. Trust me as a mom we appreciate it,also take time to do nice things for her and father more than one day a year. God Bless and have a wonderful Mother's Day.
