March 8th is International Women's Day. I didn't know there was an official day. There's an old saying: "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." When Pam was away for 1 month, I learned just how much she accomplishes daily. I have to admit, maybe I kinda, sorta took her for granted, a little, [blush & sheepish grin?]
So, I went out looking for info and found the thumbnail explanation. Although the explanation does not acknowledge the primary role women play as mothers, and all mothers do, I want to acknowledge that MOST important aspect of being a woman, inmo.
