A girl can dream: Mother's Day

candypantsls · May 2014

What would make your Mother's Day awesome?

katags · May 2014

A relaxing (<-- keyword) brunch with my husband and baby, followed by a pedicure and a nap. Then spending the rest of the day playing with a happy baby. DH cooking dinner and doing bedtime 100% on his own while I get to sleep early.

Not gonna happen

MrsW062610 · May 2014

Sleeping in, taking a nap, playing with a happy baby while DH cooks and cleans the house, and going to bed early.

Instead we're driving 2 hours away to spend the day with his cousins and grandma because one of his cousins will be in town. Whomp whomp.

Being able to get the day off of work. My supervisor starts vacation that day and already denied my request off.
Also what others have already said about DH doing most of the work/chores.

Sleeping in, and a quiet relaxing day with DH and DD. Instead, it's her dedication day, and we're having 30 people to our house for lunch... Sigh. Excited for the dedication, not so much for the mayhem that accompanies it!

Living closer to my parents and in laws so we could see them both without me spending my entire Mother's Day in the car driving across the state.

Me too, sugar....me too

@MarBee1214, so what are you doing? I got an email from my mom this morning asking what our plans are. I am so torn between celebrating my mom (and I suppose DH's), and saying, "Hey, this is my mother's day too. I should do what I want." But it's 1.5 hours to my mother's house, 1.5 hours from her house to my in laws, and then 2 hours home. So 5 hours of driving, with two kids, plus time spent at each house. And gas is nearly $4 per gallon.

Having dinner made (not bought!), massage (that can be bought....), kid free day with my mom shopping, cuddles from kids and hubs after shopping for 5+ hours sans kids.

SandFHasse · May 2014

DH would be off from work. Go to a museum that DD would like. DH would BBQ steak for dinner.

RedSaffron · May 2014

DD finally sttn and her eczema goes away. Going to a fancy-fancy brunch with champagne, getting a massage, go fishing and have dinner with DD & SO (he works that day)

cja06 · May 2014

Wish List: Sleeping in, having someone else do all the housework, having a nice, relaxing lunch or dinner (I'm not picky), and then maybe a massage and/or pedicure. Oh, and not having to share my day with my MIL (who I love, but I selfishly want my own day) and feel guilty for not being with my own mom (who live far away).

Reality: DH will be laid up on the couch all weekend because his vasectomy is Friday, so I will be running around with all three kids all weekend. Then I get to HOST a mother's day dinner for his parents and his aunt and uncle. I got roped into it because my MIL and his aunt and uncle are spending the rest of that weekend at the beach and won't have time to make their homes presentable to host.

>:P

Sleep. We have out of town guests coming all weekend. I'm excited but it won't be relaxing.

ChuggingWater · May 2014

To have both of my kids. The big one will be at his dad's.

MrsGraham06 · May 2014

Wish list:
My kids be nice ALL DAY LONG! (chances are good DH will tell them that, then they will fight/whine/argue/yell/etc all day instead)

Mani/pedi

Massage

Champagne and chocolates after kids are in bed.

angiek1 · May 2014

I would LOVE to sleep in, Alice not to throw a tantrum (she is 2.5), go to brunch and eat while my food is hot, and then go to the zoo as a family. During all of that I would love for the magic cleaning fairy to come to my house and get it all deep cleaned. All very realistic.... right?

peanutmuse · May 2014

I think my Mother's Day is going to be pretty perfect. I'm going to request to go to a diner for breakfast. I love diner breakfast. And then we're going to my parents' house for grilled kabobs and to hang out and relax.

bethughknee · May 2014

Seeing my mom. Hanging out with my baby. Eating the best BBQ in my area.

Oh wait. That's all happening. Now if I can somehow lock my nephew in a closet for the entirety of the festivities it will be just fantabulous.

PreDempsey · May 2014

A whole bottle of wine without a hang over, chocolate, a job with double my salary and allows me to work from home.

Reality: chipotle (my pick). QT with my muffin, a late day of work for H (delivering all those flowers), and some wine with a hangover.

karah4816 · May 2014

Sleeping in until at least 9, a yummy breakfast either homemade or from the bakery across the street. Have my husband clean our wreck of a house and go to bed early.
Reality: the first of a two day drive to visit family. I'm really excited to see everyone but all that driving with two very active 5 month olds who a bound to get grumpy does not sound fun.

candypantsls · May 2014

I don't want a single gift. All I want is for DH to get up with Warren at 6/7 am and let me sleep, and for him to plan one meal of the day so I don't have to make it. That's it. It's gonna happen.

moosebaby2011 · May 2014

I'd prefer to spend my mother's day with my boys and not with my mother. Instead, my sister and I are taking my mother to brunch, while DH stays home with the boys. At least I get a nice meal in a restaurant without wrangling an infant and a toddler.

ETA: My mom cancelled brunch and now I feel guilty about this post :-(

Rebis58 · May 2014

Realistic Hopeful Mother's Day:

H lets me sleep in and makes me a big delicious breakfast. I don't need a gift but maybe a card or he just shows/states his appreciation for all that I do. Quality time together, with H doing most of the work with DD through the day.

Dream Mother's Day:

The above, but we also get to do the traditional brunch with his mom (amazing buffet at a fancy hotel that they go to every year), and get some quality time with my mom (we live 8 hours from my mom, and 10 hours in the opposite direction from his mom, so this will never happen)

What My Mother's Day will actually be:

H is running a Mother's Day 5k at 9:45am, so no sleeping in for me. If DD cooperates I'll be walking the 5k with her. There's a big pancake breakfast after the run so I will get my big yummy breakfast, and H will be letting me sleep in on Saturday instead. After the run we'll have quality time at home, so the weekend will be pretty close to what I want. Will just be missing our own Mamas.

PreDempsey · May 2014

I want chocolate covered waffles on Saturday, thanks to @ccip82

ccip82 · May 2014

To be left the fuck alone for the entire 24 hours of Mother's Day.

precious72381 · May 2014

Dream: to eat all the cheese, cheese covered food, and lots of ice cream! And a full body massage.

Reality: dh will take Abby in the morning so I can sleep in (he does this every weekend, he wakes up early). And then an early dinner with my mil, (I get along with her great and want to spend the day with her), sil (don't care for her too much) dh and of course Abby. Not sure what I can eat at whatever restaurant we go to but plan to enjoy my first Mother's Day to the fullest! Took a long time to get to celebrate this day!!!

tootsscott · May 2014

Want: a crappily made gift from my kids that daddy made.. A card would do just as well with H signing the twins' names. Something I can keep. I also requested my hubs build a small Mother's Day flower garden at the base of our "anniversary tree" that H planted a week before our wedding (anniversary on Monday!), and I would like him to plant some flowers for me. The cherry on top would be a peas in the pod necklace, from him and the twins.

Reality: go to church, hang around longer than necessary with my other mom friends talking about all the work we had to do on Mother's Day
