When a Mother Forgets About Mother's Day

I think I turned into a husband...to myself.

When most mothers worry that their husbands will forget or ignore Mother's Day, what do I do, I book my flight out for a business trip on Mother's Day.

I wasn't even thinking. So on the day dedicated to crazy Mother's like myself, I will be sitting on a plan for a 22 hour trip to China - for a hell work trip.

Note to self: Consolidate all personal and work calendars and remember that I deserve a day too.

Ay!! I've done 12+ hour plane trips, but not 22. I'm hoping this isn't your first trip to China...? Well, even if it is, I hope you get some pleasurable moments out of it once you're there! I for one will be interested to hear about your trip. - Paula.
Ha ha! I know it's not ideal -- but could you think of the long plane ride as "me" time? (I am only half kidding -- I consider down travel time for business me time...)
Oh, what a bummer! Well - in a way you will have the day to yourself!!! :) At least bring some good movies or a book to read and have a safe trip!
