Penigma wishes its readers a Happy Mother's Day, most especially to any readers who are themselves mothers!

Most of you who read here at all regularly are aware that I have a chronic interest in history.  You might enjoy reading a little something about the woman who came up with the holiday, and ended up in a lunatic asylum because of it.

Because fact really is stranger than fiction, and because I couldn't make this stuff up.

I couldn't do a better job of writing about the holiday than has already been done by one of the bloggers on our blog roll, Notions Capital, so instead I will direct you there: 
Mothers Day, a Horror Story
It's a good read! Enjoy!  And if you're undecided about today doing less or more for you mom - DO MORE, just don't go too crazy.)
