Cards, dice, slots?
All of the above? hee hee Good luck!

Slots - nickle. Hey, if my mom wants to gamble all day - it's fine with me... I'll just stick $100 in with her card and she can gamble it away if she wants.

I'm sending my Mom flowers for Mother's Day. They will be arranged in a keepsake box as she just loves collectible things. We have just my Mom as my MIL passed away last year. A special neighbor gets a Mother's Day gift from us, usually something for her garden.

As of last night, hallmark.com offered free shipping and an added gift to all Mother's Day orders. Plus, you get a free Hallmark card for Mom. wink.gif win-win-win

I think people who buy cards are lazy. That is my opinion, please don't be offended. Here is a poem I wrote you can use to make your own. This is my gift to you, don't have to credit.

I went to Hallmark, but it made me sad,
when I saw all the greeting cards that they had.
All wish a happy holiday, nothing more,
as if making a card were that much of a chore.
But a moment it takes to show you care,
I guess most people don't have time to spare.
So I sat down and wrote this card.
(It really wasn't all that hard.)
I just wanted a special way to say
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!


With a slight adjustment to the 8th line, you can make it your own. You're welcome. *heart*

I've bought 2 things for my mom while I've been here on my trip. I got her a new Vera Bradley purse (which she really does need- her other one isn't looking so good laugh.gif )

I'm using this one right now, and I love it, (it also holds as much as a high school locker). rolleyes.gif


So FTD delivered my Mom's flowers today, despite my order for delivery Saturday. rolleyes.gif Her birthday is a week after Mother's Day, so I'm sending a combo. present. She loves Fenton glass, so it includes a couple of books on that, and she's always wanted to try Bare Minerals, so I got her a starter kit. She's so easy to buy for, she never spends money on herself. I wish I had a few other relatives as easy to buy for.

Oh, I'm getting AC. Happy, happy, joy, joy. smile.gif

I like that one mixed! This is the one I ended up getting my mom (the pattern was ridiculously hard to find because it's the most popular one this summer- but I did find one!) :

So mommies were invited to a special program at the preschool this afternoon. The kids stood up on stage in two neat lines and sang their hearts out. Now my daughter had been telling me about this "secret" song they were going to sing at the end, but she couldn't tell me the words because it was a surprise. Anyway it was a song all about mothers, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house, including mine. At the end of the song my daughter turned to me and said "that's the one Mommy!" wub.gif Then each kid took his or her mommy by the hand and led them to a reception with punch, and cookies, and we got a personally decorated flower pot with a nice plant, and a hand-made card. I'm really digging this mommy stuff right now. wub.gif wub.gif

I'm kind of PO'd. I thought hubby would take me out since he will be missing Mothers Day dry.gif , seriously I thought he would. I am not one to whine or drop hints or 'whine' till I get my way.

So i am kind of down


Sorry, OH! Has he left already?

Since my birthday is always so close to (and sometimes on) Mother's Day, sometimes things get combined. I'm usually pretty cool with that.

Today I got my mom a gift card to Bath and Body Works (and of course I bought myself some things wink.gif ) I'll probably get her a live plant, too.

The only person I've ever received a Mother's Day gift from is my mother inlaw. I know. Kind of strange.

My sister and I painted card for my mom and her mom (my french grandma) and I drew two more for my dad's mom (my newfoundland grandma) and my aunt, who is like my second mom. I can't wait to see their faces, I love making people happy! It's to bad I can't see my newfy grandma and my aunt's reactions 'cause they live in newfoundland but I know they'll be happily surprised by the cards. I love the water colour I did for my mom, to looks like Pam art or something!

Anyways hope everyone gets something nice for their mom's. Remember, you don't always have to spend big $, mom's love things made by their kids more than anything!

I decided against Chili's because I would want more than one margarita and since it is only me driving. The kids have suggested Ponderosa, which we will probably do. I'm trying to figure out a time where it "WONT" be that much of a clusterf_ck dry.gif I may take them around 2pm or 5pm depending on my brain tumor i mean headache.
I didnt get a card from 'him' either *sighs* and yes I am surprised at that.

How long is he gone again? I just got some tulips and a balloon that says, "For a special new Mom on Mother's Day". Hubby says there was no talking her out of it. laugh.gif

On my Mother's Day, I always get to give up my mothering duties for the day. I don't have to do a darn thing if I don't want to. So, I'm planning on catching up with my fanfic, sleeping late (I'm already staying up late...), and just dealing with the kids when I want to. Or if blood's drawn. Or if my husband is about to pull an Andy Bernard because he's about to lose his freakin' mind.

I saw my Mom tonight and gave her a picture frame with one of my kids in it - it's a brand new school pic, and a beautiful frame. And I'll call her tomorrow!

I made my mom a corsage to wear to church. Not only so that she can be one of those mothers that are beaming because their kids/husband bought them one, but also so that she can brag that her wonderful, thoughful, and talented daughter actually MADE her her corsage.
I'm also buying flowering plants to hang from the front porch, she loves that.

I love those school programs, Mixed. When my son was in 2nd grade a couple of years ago, I showed up outside his classroom for a Mother's Day program and he was there to meet me. He got behind me, put both of his hands on my back and PUSHED me to his desk in his room. I couldn't figure out what he was doing 'til he told me his teacher said they were to HELP their moms to their seat. wub.gif laugh.gif

Happy Mother's Day to all The Office board mommies!

The card is hilarious, OH. The comic strip is funny, too.

I'm still in bed waiting for my breakfast. It's still kinda quiet in the other bedroom. I guess I'd better get up and get it myself. rolleyes.gif

Happy Mother's Day!

I want to wish all the moms out there a Happy Mother's Day! smile.gif

I am thinking of my mom today. She was always there for me and was my biggest supporter in every decision I made. She died July 2005 of a very aggressive lung cancer. It was unbelievably tough, as I was in the middle of my divorce and one month away from sending my firstborn off to college in VA. Her last words to me before she lost consciousness were an apology to me for not being able to do something that she had promised me. But that was my mom, always putting others first.

It is much easier now, but I still have moments where I want to pick up the phone and call her and, I can't. I miss her, but I know she would not want me to live with sadness, so anyway.

I had a nice time at my brother's house yesterday. We celebrated my nephews' combined b-days. I got a nice plant from my dad and a Yankee candle from my sister-in-law. I'm going out to eat later with my daughter. The weather today in MA is beautiful, so I'm looking foward to it.

Happy Mom's Day to all!! wub.gif
