Foreign. Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. So I'm giving you a little bit of advanced warning for those of you who either don't have it on your calendar or don't look at your calendar with regularity, which is fine. But Sunday is Mother's Day and there are a few things to not get the most important woman in your life. And let's start with a shopping list for the grocery store of things you expect her to buy and make. Don't make your mom cook on Mother's Day. That is one of the very few things that I ask. There are a couple things that I love on Mother's Day. I adore Mother's Day. I will never forget my first Mother's Day when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter and I still celebrated and she was almost a year old on the first Mother's Day ex utero. And ever since then it has always been so incredibly special because as anyone knows who is a mom, it is an exhausting job. It doesn't matter if you are a stay at home mom, if you are a part time working mom, or if you work full time, nothing ever gets done to your complete satisfaction. And that is not from a lack of trying. So the very prime directive for anyone on Mother's Day is let the woman of the house sleep in. If there's one day that she gets to sleep. If she wants to sleep in, if she wants to watch Bravo all day or catch up on past episodes of the Kennedy Saves the World podcast, let her do that. That is awesome. Do not make her cook and let her sleep. And also, you know, I always like to exercise and move my body on Mother's Day. A couple years ago I took a pilates class with my daughters. That was so much fun. It was. I do. I'm a huge fan of movement and I'm a big fan of everyone moving together. So don't over plan. But if the opportunity presents itself and if mom is sporty, then you should all do something together. Because that's all any mom wants is the kids to get along and for some fun, wholesome, cool activity where you all get to do it together as a group. That may sound basic, that may sound boring, but sometimes it is absolutely impossible to achieve. So do whatever you can. You know, verbal gymnastics promises go into minor debt. But make sure you all do something together after mom sleeps in and before she has to cook. Now that means you will probably have to execute the meal on your own. That is fine. Don't be scared. Keep it simple. If as a last resort, you can have food delivered, don't go out on Mother's Day, the only place you can go out. And, and this is something that we did a few years ago with my daughters and Kat, Tim and another friend of ours who had lost their mom. We went to Dave and Busters because it seemed like a really nice distraction for those who were in mourning. And it was great because we went kind of late in the morning, like 11 o', clock, and it was pretty much empty. You'd be surprised. Like, there aren't a lot of moms who go, you know what? The first thing on my list is cheap, sugary booze and expensive games that people play with futility and win absolutely nothing. But Dave and Busters, I have to say, like, if you're, if you're gonna go out, it was a great time because we got nachos. I had a margarita, and everyone there was entertained by their various feats of skill and they were challenged. So that was amazing. Don't go anywhere. Moore Kennedy saves the world right after this.
