What will you be doing for Mother's Day?

[DarlaS]

Dh tiled the entryway...finally. I'll be dancing on the tile tomorrow once the grout has dried. :001_smile:

 

He had the good sense to NOT do it on Mother's Day? Good man! :thumbup:

 

Mother's Day 10 years ago my dh and my two oldest boys (3 and 6 at the time) painted the master bedroom. I was 7 mos pregnant and since I could not be breathing fumes, I got to spend that day alone--and running errands. I know he meant well, but I think it went down in history as the worst Mother's Day I've ever had.

 

That room needs repainting badly also as it looks (not surprisingly) like it was done by two little kids.

Church and then some quiet time to myself (DH is taking boys to a cub scout outing at the planetarium that I was originally supposed to go to :D)

 

After they get home DH will be making fajitas , I bought lemon squares from Trader Joe's for dessert, and we have Sherlock Holmes on dvd to watch after the boys are in bed!

 

All in all not a bad Mother's Day!

Packing and eating Pick Up STix.

So far we weeded the front yard, I made lunch then I will be working on projects for my two jobs that are due next week, plus hopefully another project for my son's preschool class.

 

I did buy myself a book last week and told them it was my mother's day present.

 

We've agreed to try to celebrate next Sunday.

This is the first year I have sort of resented it. In the past, I always felt like being a Mom is the great gift and that I am lucky to have children in the home. I felt joyful about it.

 

This year - I don't know. I feel like a servant.

We had brunch and now I'm knitting....and knitting some more...and foruming (is that a word? I say it is.).

So far I've had two different fights with my dh. Fun, fun. And my Ds, who is on meds, had been so so so irritable today. He's cried and had fits all day. Have to keep reminding myself that it's the meds, not him. ;) But my family gave me some really lovely, thoughtful gifts. Got hugs and kisses from all my little ones. And I'm counting my many blessings, and remembering that these little guys are my greatest gift.

I'm spending with my dh who is in the hospital after having his gallbladder unexpectedly removed yesterday. Happy Mother's Day to me!;)

We had church this morning... then a Mother's Day Luncheon at church... then we spent the afternoon at the Dallas Museum of Art. Now I think I am going to put on a movie and snuggle on the couch with 4 tired kids and a huge bowl of popcorn :)

I've been on planes since 5am, but I will be home later tonight. :)

We're saving every penny right now for our "Grand European Adventure." So, I made up a list of things for the kids/dh to do around the house! Right now they're all outside weeding the front lawn. I was hoping I'd not have to cook, but being that they're all so busy weeding, I decided to go ahead and make dinner. I'd rather cook than weed!

 

I think I see a trend here - for holidays like this where gift-giving is expected, but we don't need anything - we'll do acts of service for the person celebrating.

Laundry.

 

Awwww... Lolly... Why did you have to remind me? :glare:;)... Yes... I will be doing this too. One of my boys has not one stitch of clothing in his dresser right now (other than a couple pairs of underpants) and a full laundry basket waiting for me.

[Mrs Mungo]

We're about to head off to the beach! I'm sitting around while my dh packs the car and gets everyone ready. :) Hooray!
