The Political Crucible of Motherhood

[pegkerr]

I hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day. I did. I got to speak to my mother on the phone. I went out with my family for brunch (and didn't THAT feel like a treat, after so many weekends where Rob had to work instead of spending the weekend with his family.) Then a movie ("Waitress," recommended) and a walk after dinner.

Here is a thought-provoking essay (belatedly) in honor of the day, and both the mothers (and motherly-type people) and children on my friends list. And I'll take a note from this essayist and offer my thanks here to Fiona and Delia, who made me a mother, and, I think, a much better person. I love you, girls.

Thanks to minnehaha B. for the link.
