Mother's Day

What are you all doing?

Is it bad that I don't want to do anything???  The month of April was absolutely crazy for us with trips, Easter, and birthday celebrations.  I just want to do NOTHING!  My mom kinda feels the same way, but I know DH's mom would flip if we didnt see her. 

DH thinks everyone (immediate family) should come here so we don't have to go to my parents' and MIL's house all in one day.  While that is great, who is going to clean my house and cook for everyone?  Ugh!

Oh and to top it off, the babies are sick and so am I  Angry

Re: Mother's Day

  • I have no idea. I'm not expecting anything to be done for me, but I would at least like to see my mom on Sunday. Just not sure when. H hasn't mentioned Mother's day to me yet so who knows.

    I love my crazy child!

  • Kristin, it sounds like you need to not so subtly hint to your husband that he needs to arrange to take you and your mothers out for brunch on Mother's Day.  That way you can get both visits out of the way at the same time and not have to lift a finger yourself.

    You are right.  I took your advice and flat out said I wanted him to make a reservation at one of the restaurants within walking distance of our house.  He did and that's done.  That wasn't so hard...  :)

  • We are going to brunch at the Vinoy with H's family at exactly 1PM...just like we do every year. One year I just wanna say "oh, we already made plans" haha. But I know I could never get away with that. I will probably go visit my mom that evening. But I am excited about Shutterfly photo books I made for our moms with the babies' newborn pictures!
  • We're taking our moms to brunch at the beach.  I had planned to make Shutterfly books for them.  Oops. I forgot.  I guess their gifts will be late. :sigh:

  • I sent my mom a really nice sangria pitcher and book of recipes.  I just don't know what to buy the woman anymore.

    DD and I will be celebrating with brunch or lunch with my sister and her family.  It will be a while before DD understands and can "do something" for me.

  • We recently joined our neighborhood's country club, so we're taking H's parents to the club's Mother's Day Brunch. And I send cards to my mom and grandmas every year :)

    I miss so much on here these days...but are things cool now between H and his parents?! I thought things were weird, and his dad was texting you, right? To get H to talk to him? 

  • We are going to try and go to the Aquarium for Mother's day with my mil and sil and her dd. I am excited to see how her daughter takes to the aquarium she's only 2!

    Erica - don't you teach classes at USF? Teachers get into the aquarium for free. Although I don't know all the rules but you just show your pay stub. Maybe colleges count, too?

    I'm glad to hear that it worked out without too much arm twisting.  I hope you enjoy your Mother's Day!

  • Thanks Jess!

    I know last time I went I got like 15% off to go but Im not sure what it is now. I might try and see what happens...

    Lol, yeah the same problems still exist but it's Mother's Day so we still like to do something nice for his mom, who doesn't cause as many problems as his dad, haha. It will be somewhat awkward, as his dad never apologized to me about the texts, but it's easier to just let that go. He's so irrational so I would be silly to bring that up with him, he wouldn't even be able to discuss it normally with me. We'll just have a nice meal and talk about non-threatening topics, like weddings we're attending and happy things :)

    Hope you have a great first mother's day!!

  • My mom is coming over on Saturday and we are just grilling out.  Sunday we are going to my IL's and grilling over there.  Nothing spactacular, trust me.  I would be surprised if my DH gets me a card.
  • H hasn't mentioned anything to me, but I know he got me gifts because I found his hiding spot. :) It was a total accident...one of the presents was peeking out and I just happened to see it (which is very unlike me, lol!). I'm so excited about my first Mother's day! I never would've thought last Mother's Day thet this would be my first one! :)

    H made a dvd with the videos we shot of Zoe on our Bloggie for our moms. I can't believe how much she has changed since she was born!
