Calendar Girl Blog: Mother's Month

In the last few editions of the Breast of Canada Calendar, I've taken the liberty to expand the timeframe for MotherFest from one day (the second Sunday of May) to the entire month. I made this bold and pro-mom choice without permission from the National Ministry of Motherhood and Apple Pie. I didn't even angst or toss and turn over my decision. It was a no brainer. All Mom's deserve more than one measly day of recognition in May.

Calendar Girl Note: The single act of making up dates could be considered one of the perks of the job of publishing a breast health calendar. People look at me in total awe when I tell them how liberally I sprinkle such gems as Dead Bra Day, Breast of Canada Day and Picnic Month throughout the calendar. They usually ask, "Can you do that?"

"Yes", I confirm. "So far, we are still allowed to use our imagination and sense of humour as a form of communication."

Besides, I figure if we left fun and funny up to 'the authorities' we'd be a pretty glum lot. End Note.

Back to mom and your recognition of her role in your life. If you're a mom yourself, you likely get it already. If you're not, here's the flat out truth. Raising a kid is the hardest job on earth. You did not come with a manual like my computer. But you did come hardwired into your mother's heart.
