What Do You Want/Need for Mothers’ Day?

Reasonable day care?
Longer maternity leave? Better job protection?
What do mother’s need to do to get a little more respect?
There are only 15 days until mother’s day and I would like to mark the occassion with an act of respect. Something the might wake politicians up and force them to get a clue. Any ideas?

But I Do Too Much Too…

I blame this book for my current crisis of recognition. I want more recognition. Hell, I do too much and all it has gotten me is the occassional anxiety attack and a case of depleted patience.
