Happy MOMorial Day. Hopefully today finds you free from your normal Manic Momday routine. So instead of rushing around getting kids dressed for school, packing lunches and rushing for drop-off before heading off to work/chores –  you’re rushing around getting kids into swimsuits and sunscreen, marinating burgers and rushing off to the grocery store for the buns you forgot! And while the last thing you want to do is stand in the checkout line with 100 other forgetful moms, it’s a heckuva lot better than the whining you’ll have to endure if the fruit of your loins have to eat a burger on sliced bread. Talk about GUILT!

Ah, but it’s all good because you’re with the family. And if you’re like us, you appreciate those days because they are few and far between – what with all our hectic schedules.

And while you’re relaxing by the grill, the pool, or in front of the TV – take time out to remember all those that gave their lives so that we might enjoy the freedoms and comforts we have.  And especially make sure to explain it to the kids when they’re COMPLAINING that the snorkel you got them doesn’t match their swim suit or the bouncy house for the cul de sac BBQ isn’t the DOUBLE WIDE with the SLIDE some friend had at THEIR birthday party last month.

As for us at MAMMAKAZE, we’re taking the day off from  our regularly scheduled programming to spend time with Randy the perfekt husband, and Crown Princess Julia Ann. But do come back tomorrow because we have lots on our minds – as usual!
