Did you know today is International Women’s Day? I didn’t until I was sent an IM from a co-worker wishing me a Happy Women’s Day!
What a great day…we should all really celebrate. 🙂 You’d think with our money-hungry society this would be another holiday where marketers get you buying things to participate.
If you check out the section called ‘In Modern Day’ on the Wikipedia link I included above, you’ll see that in some countries women receive gifts and in some countries they honor the day with girls night out or a women’s only party. I celebrated a day early without even knowing it because I had a girls night out last night for dinner.
I think I’ll celebrate again tonight by watching The Bachelor on DVR since I missed it last night. It was the reunion episode and I’m sure there will be some nice female drama.
Take a moment out of your day to celebrate the wonderful women in your life. We need our girlfriends, sisters, mothers, grandmothers and daughters! Let’s continue to keep each other sane, healthy and happy.
Admit it, there are just some things that guys don’t understand. Being pregnant only makes it more clear that I need the women in my life! Despite the fact that my husband has been insanely supportive and patient, it’s nice to be able to chat with my mom and friends about their experiences during pregnancy, labor and motherhood. Plus it’s way more fun shopping for baby clothes with my mom than it would be with my husband. He doesn’t get get nearly as excited as we do about monkey onesies or shark bathing suits. 🙂
What women in your life are you going to treat extra special today?
