How often does May 14 fall on Mother's day?
There is a pattern by which May 14 lands on a Mother's Day, in that, because of Leap Year, its frequency is set as follows: Our next Mother's Day will be on May 14 is 2017. Previously, it was in 2006, 2000, 1995, 1989, then 1978, and so on. So, the pattern is as follows for every 28 years: 1st (meaning present year that Mother's Day would be on May 14), 6th, 5th, 6th, then 11th year. If it wasn't for Leap Years, we would have every 7 years of May 14 landing on Mother's Day.

Mrs. Fitzgerald knows tarot card reading which she had learnt while she was living in the east with her husband. She finds out that Mrs. Pearson does not get the due respect she should get from her family and advices her to take strong steps to be the mistress of her own house . Though Mrs. Pearson doubted herself if she will be able to follow her advice. She didn't want any unpleasantness in her house .More over she didn't know when or how to put her point.Mrs Fitzgerald advised her to start that very day but Mrs. Pearson was reluctant as she won't be able to keep her promise. Mrs. Fitzgerald had an excellent idea. As she had learnt many magic in the east, she can change place with Mrs. Pearson i.e.Mrs. Pearson will have Mrs. Fitzgerald's mind and vice versa. They both held hands and sat on the table quietly. Mrs. Fitzgerald enchanted some magic words and their minds got exchanged. After Mrs. Fitzgerald with Mrs. Pearson's mind leaves for her house Doris arrives and sees s her mother smoking. She is shocked. She has an argument with her as now all of a sudden her mother is not ready to iron her dresses for the evening or prepare tea or even supper.
Dorris was horrified at her mother's attitude and runs away crying. After sometime Cyril appears from work and he too is flatly denied when he asks for tea. Cyril was alarmed and asks if she was feeling well or not? Then Mrs. Pearson takes out a bottle of stout and drinks. Both the siblings are astonished and start wondering if she has had a fall or hit her head. Now Mr. Person arrive and all three start complaining about tea not being ready as they had worked so hard for eight hours. to this Mrs. Pearson says that from that very moment she would also work for only eight hours a day and weekends off.Mr Pearson gets angry and get ready for club when Mrs. Pearson tell him that people at the club call him Pompy Ompy Pearson and laughs at him. He becomes very sad. Now Mrs. Fitzgerald with Mrs. Pearson's mind enters the house and seeing everyone sad asks to leave Mrs. Pearson and her alone for a few minutes and may be everything will be all right.

community have revealed, perhaps surprisingly, that some do, while others
don't. But in general among the Orthodox community at large ... perhaps

and 'honor' of their mothers, whether or not it happens to coincide with any
particular date on the commercial marketing calendar.
