Mother’s Day is just around the corner on May 14th. It is a day where we take some time to thank the person that brought us into this world and/or cared for us when we were young, and even when we are grown up. How do you plan to celebrate the occasion? Are you a mother who is expecting a treat or gifts? Or do you plan to visit your own mother and make her day special?
My mother has unfortunately passed on, and this day makes me somewhat sad. When my mother was alive though, we would always try to get together with her and either cook her a wonderful dinner or take her out someplace special. I miss her, but I will remember all the good things about her on that day.
My husbands mother is still around. I’m not sure what we are doing yet. I know we are all getting together the following weekend since my husbands brother is coming for a visit from Chicago. I’m looking forward to that. Tim is so fun to be around. I’m sure we’ll get into some kind of trouble! He likes to party.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Mothers day and on how you plan on celebrating it.
Flowers are always a great gift idea for Mothers day – I found a great site on the internet with exceptional selections of Mothers day flowers and Mothers day gift ideas called DotFlowers. Their Monticello Rose Bouquet or Abundant Glory Arrangements are beautiful and sure to impress.
I remember reading a post a while back that argued that not all mothers deserve to have this special day in honor of them because they are not or were not good mothers. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this as to why your mother does or doesn’t deserve this special day of honor.
Hmmm, I find that sorta sad that someone should say that some mothers dont deserve mothers day. I guess she could have aborted him, and THEN he would have something to complain about.
My mum puts up with a lot of stuff, being pretty much the only female in the house filled with guys (who are to lazy to do stuff unless told forcefully).
P.s. I likey this blog, it has a nice feel to it. groovy, keep it up. (check mine out sometime, I do comics.woot!lol.
My Mum is excellent! I love her heaps. She lives about an hour away which isn’t that long but it’s significant all the same. We sometimes go to stay for a weekend but that often gets shortened by church commitments. I don’t know what we are doing for Mothers’ Day. It would be in character for my Mother-in-Law to have a lunch. I would like to see my Mum as well though. It would be cool if MiL asked Mum and family to lunch as well but that automatically increases numbers by three… I guess we’ll see.
My mother died in 2000. My daughter usually buys me a gardenia corsage–I love it–they last a long time.
