This will be my first mother's day as a mommy

Hubby is very excited about that... Not sure what he has planned

I can remember always making breakfast in bed for my mom & then giving her whichever gift we had got for her that year...

[Dr T]

Thank you for the reminder. I haven't even started thinking about yet. Need to start that soon.

[StrawberryFields]

You are most welcome.

done. no more babies for mama cox. i am tired. i would love something special from him. just to say thank you for giving me 6 boys.

I usually make my mom a personalized Mother's Day card with my computer. It has my own pictures and words of thanks for all that she has done for me over the years on it. I also give her a gift. Then we go to church. After the service, I take her to dinner.

usually my brothers and sisters all go in on some kind of plant or something for my mom but this year they are all not here so i have no idea what i'll be doing...better get workin on that

[StrawberryFields]

I am just grateful Mother's Day is before Father's Day.

I am treating myself to a weekend by myself going on a camping and fishing trip down the Kenai pensiula. Well, okay, I won't be totally alone in bear country... I will be bringing my faithful and quiet companion, Cookie, my black lab/austrailain shephard mix.

If the kids want to do something for me, that is fine, but mostly I just want to get away for a while. Selfish, yes, I am. :-)

Dr. T,

Thanks! So does my mom! Now she doesn't like a bought at the store card.

Since she saves it for her scrapebook.....I always date it too. :)

I'll be leaving soon after Mother's Day, so I'll be going all-out as usual. Breakfast in bed, then after Church, we'll put the wife in a hammock and give her orders to relax in the shade while we grill her some steaks and bake some homemade bread. Let her take a nice nap, and the kids will give her the cards they've made...

As much as I LOVE to be with my child and my husband, alone time is something I rarely ever get. I may ask for a hotel room for a night this year. Not ON Mother's Day itself, but a gift card for it after a particularly stressful week at work. It would be heaven to me to check in to a hotel on Friday after work, go for a swim, order room service, lay in bed and watch TV all night, then sleep in.

Yep, that's what I'll ask for!

[Blessed]

I think that is something you deserve at the very least! Don't forget to schedule a massage, too. I mean really, why the heck not? :-)

[shanstress70]

You're absolutely right! Why the heck not? :)

[Dr T]

That sounds great :)

Chanteemom,

You are a woman of tremendous courage! I was YM Pres for a couple of years, as well as SS teacher for one year, and I was ALWAYS glad to get home! My wife and I have 3 daughters, and I have never once regretted not having any sons. I saw what they did to other people's houses!

Don't get me wrong. I loved the YM. I needed the pure testosterone submersion from time to time, but it was a lot like grandkids: when I'm tired of you, I'll go home or send you home!

You deserve a week off, at a spa or something really girly...

[pam]

That is exactly what I have asked for myself. Down to the letter.

[StrawberryFields]

What great ideas you all have.

a joke for the mom's

Mommy Test

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up

something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I

took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.

"Why?" my daughter asked.

"Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's

been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration

and asked, "Mommy, how do you know all this stuff? You are so

smart."

I was thinking quickly. "All moms know this stuff. It's on the

Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a

Mommy."

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was

evidently pondering this new information. "OH...I get it!" she

beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the

daddy."

"Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face.

We sort of skip Mothers Day around here..... though I will call mine. No need dwelling on that bit of dysfunction, and the kids mom is pretty hard to get ahold of.

I ordered my gift the other day online. I got the idea whle listening to the radio. She better like it or I'll be in the doghouse again.
