Mothers Day, May 10th, 2009, Dont forget! need an idea? have plans? and all that jazz! Options

[sammy57]

I've been out a couple of times today but I think I'm in for the night now - gotta rest up before the really big day

I bought 8 ten-pound bags of potting soil for my flower boxes (but they're a lot heavier than ten pounds when some of them are soaking wet and I'm carrying them up three flights of stairs). Thank goodness I discovered that I only needed four of them before I got them all upstairs.

My balcony is going to look purdy.

I also drove the route to my new job. On a quiet Sunday afternoon it was 30 minutes from parking lot to parking lot. I'm wondering if an hour is going to be long enough some mornings.

In a minute, I'm going to sit back with a glass of wine. And, if I'm really lucky, I'll get Chinese food for dinner

Hope you all are having a great day.

I got to sleep in and then we drove to my mom's town to take her out for an amazing lunch at a little Italian restaurant.

Oh, and my present was a digital picture frame! Now, I just have to decide whether I'm going to fill it up with pictures of my adoring family or some of Darth Schrute's Mini Vids!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

The dog's been puking since last night and we just got back from the emergency vet. They are keeping him overnight again, giving and IV and doing tests. $$$$$ I'm worried.

I got flowers and a balloon from my granddaughter, a poem from my daughter, and that's about all.

My daughter's best friend from school needed to go shopping for her mom for Mother's day, so I took them to the Mall yesterday. The friend's mom has cancer, and her daughter wanted to buy her some new scarves for her head because she lost her hair. So we found some, and some cute pajamas. It was so sweet, and heartbreaking. She looked at me and said I don't have enough money for this. I told her to pick out whatever she thought her mom would like and not worry about what it cost. She started crying. We were all crying in the Mall, but after it was over, we felt better and got smoothies and went to the pet store to look at the puppies. Oh ....it was quite a day.

Somebody smack me if I start complaining about anything.

Nope, I'll just give you a {{{{{{{{{ hug }}}}}}}}}}}

Thanks....

Good luck. We've spent a few nights in the past at the E-vet, never easy, (or cheap). Keep us posted.

Now I'm going to cry. I hope her Mom does okay.

So, I guess we just need someone to change the date on this?

Anyone have any good plans this year?

I'm worried for my dad because this will be his first mother's day without his mother . It'll be three months tomorrow since she passed away. I know he's strong & all but still, when Sunday arrives I know he's going to feel a lot of pain, sadness & emptiness on the inside. I just hope he'll finally be able to communicate, because I can tell that he's been holding it all in.

On a lighter note, I'm composing a mixed CD with a mothers day theme for my mom. The album isn't complete yet but here's what I have so far:

I Will Take Care Of You: Amy Sky
The Perfect Fan: Backstreet Boys
Wind Beneath My Wings: Bette Middler
A Song For Mama: Boyz 2 Men
Because You Loved Me: Celine Dion
I Want A Mom That Will Last Forever: Cyndi Lauper
Thank You, Mom: Good Charlotte
Mama: Il Divo
I'll Always Love My Mama: The Intruders
Somebody's Hero: Jamie O'Nell
Mother's Day Song: Jim Brickman
You Raise Me Up: Josh Groban
Hey Mama: Kanye West
In My Daughters Eyes: Martina McBride
God Must Have...: *NSYNC
Mama: Spice Girls

If anyone has any song suggestions, please let me know as I'll be very grateful. I also plan to make her a card & present her with a single pink rose. As for plans, I assume the family & I will take her out for dinner & bunch. It should hopefully be a good day .

I'm worried for my dad because this will be his first mother's day without his mother .

Yeah, this will be my husband's first without his mom. He hasn't mentioned anything, but I'll check in with him on Sunday.

As for me, no plans. I'm a little surprised I didn't get any cards--usually I get godmother cards, but nothing yet. I know that Tom bought me cards from Jay and according to Jay, he "did not make me a flowerpot in school". So we'll see how it goes. We're keeping it all low-key so as not to stress the kid--he will see MOY tomorrow and give her his projects and stuff, so we'll see how it goes. And we're going to my mom's Friday night for dinner--I sent flowers to her job that she should get tomorrow.

[Colbertgal5]

I don't know if we are doing anything because my mom just got the stomach flu.Which sucks.

[hubbabubbaMAX]

^ Aww. I hope you mom feels better!

As for my weekend- we are spending Saturday at a communion party in Penn., so I expect to get home late, and have my mom sleep in on Sunday, so I can surprise her with a breakfast in bed.

Then when she goes to church, My sister and I will probably cook something deliscious so she gets the day off. Then when my dad gets home and the dinner is done, we'll give her our cards, flowers and what other gifts we have and then sit down and have dinner with the whole family.
She'll enjoy that alot more than eating out, and we love to cook so its all good

Holidays during that first year can be especially rough.

pip, I bet your mom will love that mix! It's very thoughtful.

I love that kid.

It's still three full days away. Hope she feels better by then.

I just accepted an invitation from my brother for Mother's Day (which also happens to be my birthday this year) brunch. After that I hope my daughter and I can go shopping or rent some movies - anything fun and stress-free will be fine with me.

My mom has requested the following:

-Fully cleaning the living and family rooms.
-Wash towels.
-Manicure and pedicure with foot/hand soaks and for me to scrape off ALL dead skin.

She also made me put acne medication on her back earlier...I think she is taking advantage of this holiday a bit too much. She also keeps whining about how she's going to miss the Deadliest Catch marathon.

I hope you get your wish, sammy! that sounds so nice.

sorry, hottest, but...eewwwwww. That certainly would prove your love.


We are having both moms & families over to our house for Mother's Day dinner, plus his dad's birthday. We don't do that very often, so it's actually what I asked for as my "present". (We love our families, but my husband stresses over entertaining large groups.) Also, for me, we are doing it Saturday. So Sunday is a free day to get outside and do whatever I want. I think I'll go for a big bike ride, then get my daughter to go see Leatherheads with me.

My Mom will be "running" in a Susan Komen race this weekend for Mother's Day. I made a donation and Mom gets a special survivor t-shirt and a race bib as if she were running in the race on Saturday. She said she didn't want flowers and isn't supposed to have goodies or candy and the Komen Foundation is her charity of choice. I also got her a cute card and some herbal hand creme.

My local Mom neighbor is taking me to a mother and daughter event at her church since her daughter will be out of town. I am looking forward to it and I appreciate being lent a Mom for Mother's Day since mine lives so far away.

[hottestinoffice]

Oh, I know MelloJello. I think I have some money saved up...i'm thinking i'll just buy her a pedicure...

Wait, that's right! She just took my last $15 for parking.

I got flowers today and the card said, "Happy Mother's Day from your Happy Husband."
Isn't that sweet?

Too adorable!! That is awesome!!

Jay made my mom a card today because we went there for dinner. It said: Happy Mother's Day Fran. I hope you have a great day. What do you want for dinner tonight? Answer the question, Fran. !! It was hysterical!

Then I got this card from him that he made in school today--tons of glitter hearts on the front, really cool:

My Aunt Angela is the bestest because she buys me toys for me. She is kind to me. She is friendly to me. But the mostest thing is she loves me. You are loving flowers. You smell like flowers on you. I love you and you love me. Do you? Finish the sentence on this line. Yes I love you, too.

This is a card for great aunt's day. It's on Sunday--there are hearts and flowers and they are pink and purple and at the back of the book is a poem for Aunt Angela day. Love Jay

Yes, I cried a little when he gave it to me.

[hubbabubbaMAX]

Aww! Wedd- that is so cute!
He seems like such a sweet kid, your lucky to take care of him.

He really cares about you too

[buymeacoke_1]

Jay made my mom a card today because we went there for dinner.

Wedd, I read this to my happy husband and he has tears rolling down his face from laughing so hard.



What he wrote to you is precious. Oh that Jay...he is something.
