What do YOU want for Mother's Day?
Hmmm?
Since our bugdet is tight (we just bought a bigger home), I want DH to make me a garden stepping stone with both kid's handprints in the cement, and to go as a family for a walk on the nature trail. That's it. Maybe breakfast of some sort;)
Go...

Re: What do YOU want for Mother's Day?
1. Help in the yard getting my stuff planted for the season.
2. 4 consecutive hours alone to finish up studying for my last exam of the semester. (yes... I'm lame)
3. An hour or so alone with Matt's @ss. Oh... and all that's attached to it. (sorry... couldn't resist)
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
On Friday, I had just had my wisdom teeth out and was upstairs resting and kept hearing this wierd noise outside. I came downstairs and talked to DH about it. He went outside to talk to his friends for a minute. When he came back he said "Come listen out on the patio, I think I know what noise it is you're hearing". I looked outside, and there was my new patio set! He had his friends go and pick it up and bring it over. Totally surprised me.
Wish he could've picked a better day though. lol But he really, really wanted it to be a surprise. (He's never been able to yet!)
He said that is only half of my Mothers Day stuff.... Im excited! He's such a sweetie.

To sleep in, eat lunch or dinner out, and I asked for an ipod docking station. Kind of a weird mother's day present, but I really want one!
I have low expectations because I know DH will be OOT.
I would really like a waterproof camera, and DH knows I want one, too. And I've already gotten "clearance" to buy it. So I'm looking at that as my Mother's Day/birthday present.
I will be kinda sad if DH doesn't acknowledge Mother's Day. And I'll feel needy if I constantly bring it up this week so he feels like he has to acknowledge it. To be honest, I think he believes Mother's Day is more about his mother than me, which I guess is okay, too.
Normally, I would say to sleep in and have DH make breakfast for me, but I'll be OOT with my daughter and we get back late Sunday afternoon.
DH asked what I wanted and I went the practical route and told him a gc to Lowe's or Home Depot, so that I could go buy flowers for the garden. He usually buys me cut flowers too, but I told him it wasn't necessary. Knowing him, he will probably buy them anyway.
Aww. Boys are dumb. Mine is a momma's boy too. My first mother's day was a ridiculous let down- I just wanted family time. After I cooled off I told him every year until the kids are off living their own lives and too busy for me, I want to sleep in. And then I want to go get family photos. And I get to pick their clothes. AND he has to convince them to pretend they are happy to do it. And then if he wants to spend the rest of the day with his mom, he can knock his socks off. He is very thrilled with the arrangement- he can't forget, he can't let me down. Makes us both happy!
I already told DH I want to add another circle with DD2's name & birthdate to my mommy necklace. It will look like this when its done. It would be nice to get a card "from" the girls, but DH isn't very good with the whole card thing.
Oh I want one of those mothers necklaces! Such a great idea. Yeah, I would love to get a card from my DD too, but I don't think he'll manage to do that. lol Most men probably think that's silly until they reach the age they can sign the card themselves. lol *sigh*

-For DH to be done with those damn trucks already
-Time away. No kids. No work. No cell phones ringing incessantly (:::cough:::DH's phone:::cough:::)
I already know what I'm getting. DH bought me a Pandora charm bracelet for our anniversary last November. It was really sweet until he revealed that from here on out all he has to do is pick out a new charm each Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, my birthday, and our anniversary. :::sigh::: It's still sweet though, but now I always knows what I'm getting.

I'd really love to have no obligation to see or speak to anyone on Mother's Day, but I know that's never going to happen. It would be nice to not have to deal with my family or DH's family, and just have a quiet day with my boys.
But in reality, I'd settle for a card and flowers.
A ring which I know I won't be getting.
I want to feed my baby and then go back to bed only to be woken with breakfast in bed by my boys complete with cards. I want everyone to be nice to me and for my husband to deal with the daily stuff like snacks, lunch, dinner and naps. Mostly I want to feel appreciated.
For me to decide when I am getting out of bed that day. I want to be able to sleep until noon if I want to and not feel guilty about it or hear kids crying or screaming. So basically if my DH could get the girls dressed, fed breakfast then take them out somewhere for a morning outing to the park or something. So I could sleep in for a change.
When he is in town he always tries to let me sleep in for one day, but doesn't understand that if he doesn't get them out of the house I hear them and get up anyway. I love him to death for doing this, but he just doesn't get that as a mommy, I hear everything. I try not to, but I do. We have a split plan house and my girls are on the farthest part of the house away from our bedroom and I hear them every morning without the monitor on. I just instinctively hear them and get up.
