Mother’s Day – it’s a dangerous holiday to navigate and one that you really don’t want to forget. For your mom, Mother’s Day is the big one – it’s the only day out of the year that you’re pretty much required by law to show a little love and affection for the woman who gave you life. If you’re not a parent, and also not a woman, it’s hard to grasp why this one is so important. Read on for some tips to get you through the day and to keep you in her good books.
Hell hath no fury like a forgotten Mom
Step number one, and definitely the biggest: remember Mother’s Day is. In the U.S. and in Canada, Mother’s Day is held on the second Sunday in May. Other countries celebrate it around the same time. This year, Mother’s Day is on MAY 13. Write it down and stick up Post-It notes around your house. Do not forget: MAY 13. Try some word association. Your mother MAY react like Jason’s mom in Friday the 13th if you forget Mother’s Day. Simple enough.
Show some love
Step number two, remember what Mother’s Day is all about. Showing your mom some genuine affection on Mother’s Day isn’t enough to qualify you as a momma’s boy, but it will mean a lot to her. If she’s still changing your sheets though, you’ve got concerns. A slightly sappy card with a heartfelt note from you will have her eyes welling up and some fantastic home cooking coming you way.
Flowers and chocolates are pretty standard gifts, so try to think outside the box. What are her hobbies? Hint – vacuuming isn’t one of them. Neither is cleaning the bathroom. Does she take pilates (fancy stretching)? Is she in a book club (ladies talking about stuff they’ve read)? Take a minute to think out what she’s into (not doing your laundry), then choose a gift that relates.
Treat her right
Slightly sappy card with heartfelt words opened: check. Thoughtful present fawned over: check. Okay, Mother’s Day is done, right? Not quite! Slow down there sonny – it’s called Mother’s Day for a reason. Not Mother’s Morning. Not Mother’s 20 Minutes. Book a lunch date or take her out for dinner. Tour an art gallery with her and absorb a little culture. Just spend a little time with your mom – it’s one day out of the year, and she’s going to really appreciate just hanging out with her favorite son.
This Mother’s Day (MAY 13), don’t forget the special lady in your life. Some genuine consideration and a little effort will have Mom singing your praises to her friends who have hot, single daughters. It’s a win-win situation.

Fried egg (sunny side up, over easy, it doesn’t matter): Put a little butter in the pan, heat the pan up, and stir the butter around. Then crack your egg in, and flip if necessary. Serve with toast and bacon.
Scrambled egg:Put a little butter in the pan, heat the pan up, and stir the butter around. Crack your egg into a bowl, and add a little milk or cream. Then stir it up until it is beaten. Pour egg into pan. Slowly continue to stir egg until cooked as desired. Serve with toast and fried ham.
Hope this helps you out and good luck!

I hope you have more than one..as well as some other ingredients! Here’s a couple good eats…
You may omit any ingredients you don’t like.
Cut up and saute in any quantities you desire:
good smokey bacon (like the ends and pieces packs)
mushooms
green and/or yellow onions
red or yellow peppers
fresh garlc
Add the vegies after the bacon is almost done, so they dont over cook. When everything is done just how you like, you can transfer to a baking pan or leave in the skillet and cover with shredded cheese. Beat enough eggs to cover and pour over mixture and bake.
You can add salsa to the beaten eggs for a kick!
more..
In a non stick frying pan, bring water to a boil. Put two slices of grainy bread down to toast until crunchy. Crack eggs into water (careful not to boil over). When the water starts to foam and rise, turn off heat. Butter the toast, cut into chunks and put on plate or bowl.
Usually, you can pour the water off your poached eggs and they will stay slightly stuck in the pan (nothing worse than soggy). Put the eggs on the toast with pepper, spike or any other spices you like.
Happy Day to, MOM!
