NBFR, DH is the best.

DH is the best. Today was a good day - we slept in, had brunch at my parents' where I gave my mom her gifts, and then we went to a play. DS wasn't on his best behavior, but oh well. I got flowers and a gift card for Mother's Day, and the best thing - a necklace. Not just any necklace though, it was a necklace that represents the baby we lost. It's a heart, and one side has the baby's name, and the other side has tiny footprints with the birthstone dangling. I love it.
I just wanted to share. How was everyone else's Mother's Day?

Re: NBFR, DH is the best.
Today kinda sucked. I guess I got my real mother's day yesterday. I went to the library for three whole hours to work on school assignments. Then I had coffee with a friend for another hour. Most of my floors and bathroom were clean when I came back. Those were the things I asked for.
ODS made me a finger print necklace at school. It's still soft though... Need to bake it maybe. It's so cute. I love that kind of stuff.
Glad you got to enjoy the day! You seem to work really hard to keep your whole family functioning as one unit (you H DS BD and DSs S) It is impressive and I'm glad they acknowledged that with a touching gift.
My Mothers Day
As a SM we have always focused Mothers day on the BMs (as it should be) and this year SDs birthday feel on Mothers day so it was a crazy busy weekend pulled in a 100 directions. But SD made my day at drop off....With the usual hug/kiss/love you she added and "happy mothers day since you are my mom too"
Thank goodness they were on the way in the house b/c I couldn't hold the tear from my eye for long.
I am not one to focus on gifts, but I would like a Happy Mother's Day said to me, at least. I got a picture frame and picture that DS made at daycare, which was beautiful, and an impatiens that he got at Sunday school, which is really HIS flower lol. And SD made me a beautiful little booklet at schoolthe about all the reasons she loves me. I balled my eyes out when I read it. She loves me because I make 'pancooks' for her. Lol!
But DH did not even say Happy Mother's Day until almost midnight last night. We actually got into a spat about my parenting style because I got onto DS for something and DH thought I was being crabby because I had a headache, but he had no clue about what was going on. So when he was going to say something when I brought up the fact that everyone but him had told me happy mother's day, I just told him to save his breath, that it didn't count now unless he did something to make it up.
AF is here, and I was a little emotional yesterday. So sue me. But seriously? He didn't FORGET mother's day because he said 'happy mothers day to all moms' on facebook and to his mom. But I always do something for Father's Day and his birthday and such, and I am lucky of he even says happy... to me.
Granted we had a wonderful night together after the kids went to bed, but it was just a regular day for me.
What a sweet gesture from YH.
My Mother's Day was great. I woke up around 9 to FH making breakfast and DS was still asleep(!). FH made me go back to bed so he could wake DS up and let DS ake me up. It was cute, I woke up to his little voice yell-whisper "Mommy its time to wake up!" FH had bought me a giant hydrangea and DS colored me a picture before he "woke me up". Then we cuddled on the couch for a while watching a movie. The afternoon was a normal day, we went to meet the DJ at our wedding venue and then went grocery shopping. And then FH made a fantastic dinner. So the day was mostly normal but very sweet.
