Mother's Day


In a recent study it was determined that an average stay-at-home mother would earn $116,805 annually, including overtime, if she received a paycheck.

According to the study, the run-of-the-mill full-time mom works about 100 hours a week, filling the jobs of daycare teacher, housekeeper, cook, computer operator, janitor, psychologist, driver, nurse, maintenance worker, laundry machine operator, facilities manager and CEO.

Most mothers don't get a paycheck, but they're happy to be compensated with a bunch of flowers, a warm hug, a handmade card or a simple 'I love you' from their children.

On this date in 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed a special day to make sure that children remember to tell their mothers that they are appreciated.

Happy Mother's Day!
