Mother's Day Weekend

Those of you who may have forgotten about this weekend being Mother's Day, I am posting a handy dandy link to online Mother's Day e-cards, courtesy of The Onion. Some examples of their sentimental favorites are:

Outside: Thank You Mom
Inside: For giving up your dreams, wants and needs to raise an ungrateful shit like me. Happy Mother's Day

Outside: Dear Mom: To me every day is Mother's Day
Inside: That's why you are getting this two weeks late. Happy Mother's Day

Click here to send your mom a special, one of a kind card.

After the hard work of choosing a special card for your mom on her special day, you can continue on and read the Women's Timeline. Better yet, I'll just post it here for your convenient review:

I read The Onion nearly every day. It is on the short list of my favorite websites.
