Mother's Day Late

Here we are, snot-nosed, fever-ridden, puffy-eyed trying to pretend like we aren't sick and are going to have a splendid day frolicking in the grass in our seersucker suits and linen dresses while playing croquet and sipping mimosas. Instead we spent the day trying not to hurt each other, laying on the couch in our sweatpants while blowing our noses and sipping hot tea. I demand a re-do.
