Speaking of mother's day...
What's everyone doing for MD?
Anything you want for MD?
Do you think you'll actually get it?
Does your dh actually try doing something sentimental with the kids for you?

Re: Speaking of mother's day...
I wanted an Alex and Ani bangle but the charm I wanted has been sold out. But I was with dd the other day at the mall and she saw a different one she wanted to give me. So I pretty much was with dd when she picked out my gift. Oh well...dh never would have picked out something like it so I guess this is the only way!
Yes
No. All I really want is dd to do something sentimental or pick out something sentimental. Dh rarely ever does that with her for any gift giving. He asked me last week if MD was coming up so clearly it isn't really on his radar.
We are going to lunch with our families on Saturday. On Sunday, I plan to sleep in and not really do anything...maybe do somethign outside if it's nice. I just like a low key day where DH does all of the work!
Not really, I just want a nice relaxing day. We don't always do gifts for MD or FD, but sometimes DH will get me a pandora charm or spa gift card or something like that.
Yes. DH is well aware that he needs to celebrate me on Mother's Day.
He usually has them draw a picture for me or gets one of those cards that records their voices saying something cute....that's really the extent of his creativity.
Then brunch at my sister's house after & I will probably work in the afternoon b/c I have a trial next week. DH will probably take the kids to his moms.
DH asked what I wanted & I said Eamon's handprint for our garden b/c we have the girls already so he will hopefully do that. Other than that - nothing!
How time flies! Caileigh (9), Keira (6) & Eamon (3)
What's everyone doing for MD?
Nothing, as far as I know!
Anything you want for MD?
As my 7-yr old would answer for me, "Peace and quiet!" I do want to do the journal idea that has been circulating around the internet, so I'll buy myself a nice book for the boys to draw or write me something.
Do you think you'll actually get it?
Yes, bc I will buy it and give it to them. lol DH will probably take over making at least breakfast and dinner, and I might get lucky and get to miss out on diaper changes.
I do need a pedicure, which I was going to do last weekend and DH told me to do it this weekend for MD, so I'll do that at some point this weekend.
Does your dh actually try doing something sentimental with the kids for you?
I might get a card from them, if he thinks about it, but usually, no.
My three sons!
I told DH I just want an evening to hit up homegoods, hobby lobby, etc. to buy some stuff for my bare walls. I will get it eventually, just don't know when.
DH usually gets cards and has them sign them. I believe there may also be something else in the works, as Brinley keeps trying to have whisper conversations with DH.
I plan to have a massage on Saturday after they leave. I plan to sleep in on Sunday and use Saturday night to work on my office set-up/clean-up some more. I have a class scheduled on Sunday at noon, but no one is signed up yet. If no one does, I’ll probably just go hang out at the yarn shop for a while before they come home. (The fact that I scheduled a class on Mother’s Day shows you how busy our schedule has been and how relatively unimportant the holiday is to me.) If the weather is nice, we’ll go to the playground and then out to dinner. If the weather isn’t nice, we’ll play with legos for a while and then go out to dinner. We have been so busy for so many weeks that low key and relaxing is what I want.
I know that DS has made something for me at school and there is a thing for Moms in his class on Friday morning. Knowing DH, he’ll probably encourage the kids to make me cards while they are at his mom’s house. But I don’t expect any more than that. The time “off” from parenting is present enough!
