What I want for Mother's Day



This is a photo of what I asked for.

Minus the breakfast part. Or even the flower.

Seriously, when Dave asked what I'd like on Sunday, I said "Just let me sleep late."

Of course he said yes. Am I low maintenance or WHAT?!

[Note from Dave: "She's really not."]

What do you want for Mother's Day?

XOXOXO to all of you amazing moms. You go above and beyond 24/7/365.

    I will go over to my folks' house with the boys on Saturday, and we'll watch a film and stay overnight. The next day, the boys and 'Grampa' will make up a nice breakfast for me and my mom, give us flowers and homemade cards, they'll spend the day telling us how beautiful we are, and then they'll do up a nice cook out for us in the afternoon!

    That's been the routine the last two years, and it's becoming a tradition!

    A cure for strokes would be great, but I'll be happy with some macaroni art and a kiss from Daniel. Enjoy sleeping in, Ellen!

    Well, since I can't pull the coasts closer together, I requested a trip to CA. And then I bought my tickets before my husband could realize that I would be leaving him home alone with a lot of kids for a long time...

    Sleep would be great too, it must be a night and morning of UNINTERRUPTED sleep. Also a cleaning lady to come twice a month, I can't keep up with this house.

    Well, we're doing something very special for Mother's Day. Last year we took Gavin to a shrine and prayed that his hearing would be restored. This year we're going back to say thanks because it WAS! No more hearing aids!! Yippeee!!
    But....
    I totally want this:

    I got shoes for Mother's Day. Bought them myself actually - came home last night after shopping and showed my husband what he had "bought me". Normally I like to be surprised, but this year I just really wanted shoes!

    I told my husband to take Chaz to visit the granmas and not make me go. House to myself for a couple of hours. Totally selfish and I'm just fine with it--well, I'm trying to be fine with it.

    Every year that I've been eligible to celebrate Mother's Day, the only thing I've ever wanted is a day off. Is that bad? :) I did get a fun sun catcher craft to do with Alice and I am looking forward to that. But yes, blissful sleep is always at the top of the I Want This list.
