How was your mother's day?

IdigDirt · May 2011

Happy Monday ladies. Hope you all had a great mother's day yesterday. I got many many cards (one each from the dogs, one from the cat, one from the dogs,cat, gecko and DH all together and one just from DH) and he got me a huge Orchid. It was so nice of him, I was not expecting anything other than maybe a card from the animals.He also had the swing put together when I got home which was awesome.

I wish I could have spent the day with DH but I was in New Hampshire spending the day with my mom which was really nice as well. We went out for lunch and so many random people wished me happy mother's day as well as the security guard at the airport, it was really nice.

How was your day?

I did nothing Mother's day related.

No cards from the FI or the kids. BUT, I got LO's "closet" put together so that was a plus I guess.

You didn't get cards from the kids? I'm sorry. Here is a belated mother's day gift Gift Cake and some cake to go with it.

I didn't do anything other than get a few "Happy Mother's Days" from strangers when I was out. Honestly, I was disappointed that my H didn't even acknowledge it (all I wanted was a "Happy Mother's Day"...no gift or activity or anything), and he's well aware of it. Oh well.

This exactly. But I did go ahead and install the carseat. That was actually fun. Crazy to think there's gonna be a baby in it soon!

I had to work. BOO.

We're strapped for cash until Friday, so in lieu of a gift, DH got me the Wendy's I'd wanted since someone brought it in to work for dinner, and the Wunderbar I've been craving all week.

DH was at school so I took DD to the Zoo then my mom and step dad came over and (my stepdad) planted flowes and bushes for me that was my mother's day gift from them. It was wonderful and my house looks so much better

DH cooked me brunch - choc chip pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, a veggie omelet and bacon. The night before he also washed the sheets in the bedroom and told me to sleep in as late as I want, he would take care of the dogs, who tend to wake up early. He also got me a card that made me cry (let's be honest, it doesn't take much these days) and a williams-sonoma apron that I had told him I wanted offhandedly at one point. I know an apron sounds like a silly gift, but he remembered that I had said it in passing - lately especially with my oversized belly I have been knocking into the counter and spilling things on myself when cooking. I swear all my shirts are getting stains right where my bump meets the counter! My mom send me a mommy-to-be mother's day card, too. It was a really nice relaxing day and it made me all the more excited to meet our LO very soon!

I spent the morning in the hospital (boo!) but once I got out DH's parents came down to visit since I can't travel. We had a very nice dinner. DH also got me a super sweet card and a baby book for our little boy. Even though I feel like a mom, it didn't feel like my first Mother's Day yet since he isn't officially here yet.

Mine was good,.. but laid back- which I didn't mind at all. I got up with DS yesterday because I let MH go out drinking with one of his buddies the night before. (I really didn't mind.) He got up about an hour after DS and I, and made me biscuits and gravy for breakfast, and then told me to go back to bed... so I got to take a good 2-3 hour nap!

Then I just took DS out and about, just some "mommy and me" time out of the house for a change. Got a lot of "Happy Mother's Day's" from strangers and such. Then I came home and cooked dinner. (I wanted to). We all watched a movie before bed, and turned in early, because MH had to leave for work at 2 am this morning, because he has a chopper jump today. (He's Airborne w/ the Army.)

I got my "Mother's Day present" really early this year... back in February when I got my Kindle... so it was a simple but nice day.

I hope you all had a good day, too!

H took me & the girls out to brunch at my favorite resturaunt. That was Ok. The food was awesome, but a 2 y/o & a 5 y/o at brunch can be a little tricky. We were in & out in under 45 mins -- we had to eat fast to escape before a meltdown!

We stopped at my parents house on the way home and I gave my mom her card. Then we went home and I spent the day doing baby laundry -- my shower was on Saturday -- and putting things away.

The best part was the H let me sleep in! Our girls get up at 6am religiously. They have no concept of a "weekend." We usually take turns getting up with them -- one will do Sat & one will do Sun -- and he let me sleep in BOTH days this weekend! That was the best!

Mine was good. DH didn't do anything special, but my grandma gave me a card. My dad (who is fighting cancer) wrote me a letter for mother's day and also gave me a poem that he had written a month before I was born. I'm an only child so those presents from dad are so special to me. It was an overall great day.

My FI took me out to get some bubble tea and California rolls, that made this momma to be a very happy woman.

caruso_60 · May 2011

It was nice. My DH had to go to work in the afternoon, so we had my grandma and his family over for brunch. My DH bought me a clementine tree for the backyard, which I am very excited about. The only bummer was that my DS had a really bad day. It was like one big tantrum all day long! Ugh! So, I had a screaming 20 month old all day long. I'm hoping it was because he is getting his second set of molars in or a growth spurt because it was ridiculous. I just don't have the energy or patience right now for this. I joke with my Dh that life will be so much easier once I have the baby!

Honestly, it was rough. I hate to complain though. DH runs a hotel and they were doing a big Mother's Day brunch so he was at work by 6 in the morning. I have been battling a sinus infection all week so I got DD (who is teething and whiny a lot lately) together and we went to urgent care. Sure enough, sinus infection and bronchitis. No fun. So then I got my antibiotics and went home. By then it was nap time for DD and I managed a quick nap too while she snoozed. DH came home around 4 in the afternoon, exhausted of course, so he parked himself on the couch watching bball all night. No breaks for me. No dinner, not even leftovers from the hotel. Doh. But he did give me a card from DD and a little bistro table set for our deck I wanted. But honestly, I would have been ecstatic with the dishwasher being unloaded.

MH and I went to his cousin's 4-year-old daughter's birthday party. I had my panties all in a bunch about it before we went...I thought it was so tacky that someone would schedule a child's birthday party on mother's day and expect all of these kids and their parents to show up. But I guess I was the only one who cared, b/c there was a really big turn out! The best part of the day happened when MH was holding a 6-month-old baby girl who belonged to one of the party guests...she looked so natural in his arms and it got me all teary-eyed, thinking about what a great daddy he's going to be! We also found out that MH's auntie and uncle are going to be in town visiting over my due date...I would be so pumped if they get to meet our baby right after I have her!

I didn't want any mother's day stuff for me; it felt like jinxing it, ya know? We did got out for froyo after the party at my request...the birthday cake did NOT satisfy my sweet tooth!

Aww, Thanks!

Mine was great! DH suprised me with flowers and breakfast in bed. I wasnt expecting anything this year, so I was really surprised! Love him!

Then we worked on the LO's room all day. Its finally coming together!

Pretty good day!

pregarella · May 2011

It was wonderful.......DH surprised me with breakfast in bed and a gift certificate to a spa, and then we headed down to my mom's and had a BBQ in her honor. It was very sweet for everyone to acknowledge me on Mother's Day, I wasn't expecting it!!

DuckysDoll · May 2011

? Had a great Mother's Day, was spoiled rotten!

Homemade pancakes and fresh fruit for breakfast, got a new 55 gallon fish tank & stand, a homemade, adorable gift from my 6 yr old, an awesome drawing from my 13 yr old and a Willow Tree Figurine of a Dad and baby in his lap to complete our little family set I have. Oh, AND homemade pizza for dinner

SarahKate31 · May 2011

I wasn't sure if DH would do anything or not, but he gave me a mother-child necklace that I love and it was so sweet. My parents got me a card and a baby book for LO. I got several "Happy Mother's Day"'s from strangers and "Happy Mother-to-be Day" from my ILs.

Bran_ham · May 2011

My DH didn't even acknowledge Mother's Day to me. He got his mom a present but I didn't even get a Happy Mother's Day card (I don't expect a present). We had a nice day, went and saw the IL's. The whole day I kept waiting for something but nothing happened. I know I shouldn't expect anything but I'm so hurt. DH totally flaked out on my last two birthdays too so this isn't a one time thing. I'm debating whether or not to totally flake on DH's birthday coming up this weekend. Normally I bake him his favorite cake and we do something special but I'm so upset. I'm so over putting in any effort to make him feel special anymore.

I'm really sorry, I think I would be really hurt if I didn't get a "happy mother's day" especially since you have a DS. Maybe you could go really over the top for his b-day or father's day, I mean hand paint banners, huge card out of poster board, balloons, a big cake, the works to show him how nice it feels to be recognized for what you do. Maybe then he will remember next time it comes around.

I'm sorry he forgot. In the almost 12 yrs DH and I have been together he's forgotten a lot of holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Even though I expect it now and have gotten to the point of asking for his cc to buy myself presents after the fact, it still hurts sometimes. I'm sure your DH like mine loves and appreciates you so much, but special events just aren't his thing. Maybe next year.
