I had a mini-meltdown last night...

about Mother's Day.  I just realized dh won't be home because he'll be out of state with his mom at his nephew's college graduation.  I'm not going because I would have to take that Friday off of work and I'm saving vacation days for maternity leave.  I'm just bummed because I had it in my mind that we would take our moms to brunch and just spend the day talking about the baby (daydreaming, I  know).  Eh, I'm kinda over it now, but I was crying about it last night.  Frickin' hormones!

I know it won't be totally the same but could you do it the next weekend or weekend before? That way you could still celebrate Mother's Day like you wanted but on another day. I am sorry they will be out of town! I know that stinks. I just realized yesterday that I get to celebrate Mother's Day this year too! I hope you can still figure something out to celebrate with them.

arent hormones wonderful?! try planning your mother's day celebrations the weekend before.

last year on mother's day DH, DD, and i spent so much time trying to please both my mom and his mom that nothing was special about it for me. so for father's day i planned something the weekend before for just DH, DD, & I so that he would feel loved/special. i think it worked much better. i told him this year we are doing something a separate weekend just so we can avoid all the running around & stress.

just do it the weekend before or after--the crowds will be better then anyways
