Thanks, you too! MH has to work tomorrow so we're all going to breakfast with his parents before he goes to work, then me and LO are on our own. I've got invites, but I think I'll just spend time with her.
I doubt I am getting any gifts tomorrow...the swing for the backyard I got last year had to be returned because it was too cheap, and despite my prodding, he hasn't gotten me a new one yet. I also sent him a link for a mama bird necklace with baby birds on it but I don't think he got that either. At this point I will be amazed if he got me a card
Happy Mother's Day! DH just ran out to get me Starbucks and either bagels or muffins. We are going on a picnic today and just having a fun day as a family. I know he did get me a gift, but I haven't received it yet. Yesterday, he took LO shopping and came home with flowers and a balloon. He's such a sweetie :-) And lo is still asleep! So I get to lounge around a bit.

angelsnight DS and I are on our own today to because DH is out fishing since this weekend was opener.
The only gift (other than DH's friend getting me a bottle of vodka) that I'll get and its the one I'll treasure is the art project DS made at daycare. They used his handprints to make me a bouquet of flowers, it's really cute and will last forever.

Happy Mother's Day everyone! I am going to have to go into work for a couple hours today because one of our employees walked out yesterday, and no one can cover his shift today...life of a manager. But after that we are going to SIL's house for family time and hopefully some lawn games if the weather cooperates! As for gifts, DH bought me a new laptop last weekend and said it was for mothers day. I had been wanting one, and being a tech guy he loves to buy me electronics so he definitely took advantage of the opportunity lol

Happy Mothers Day ladies! We aren't big gift exchangers but we went out for breakfast. It was delicious. My portion was huge, DD and I couldn't finish it without my BFs help. And to top it off, the restaurant was giving out single carnations to all the moms. Nice little touch

We went out to lunch. My DH, his mom, my mom and Jillian. We got his mom flowers and my mom an ITunes GC. I got gifts from my mom and MIL but DH usually doesn't get anything for me and neither does Jill. Although I did get something from her from daycare so that's something :-).

Happy Mother's Day everyone! We went to a movie and then had a cookout at my parents house. I'm so stuffed now! As soon as DD goes to bed I'm going to take a nice long bath and just relax
Dh has done nothing for me today. He even went to the store and brought back oreo's for him and a dr pepper for him. He is in such deep shit right now and has no clue. I am not a big holiday person, I don't care about my birthday, but he knows mothers day is special to me. And after him getting in trouble last year for not doing anything you would have thought he'd learn. I am so pissed right now! All I want is a freaking card!

Happy Mothers Day, all!
LOs amazingly slept until 8am. Then DH let me catch a longer snooze while he took care of her this morning until around 10am. (Apparently this is also when they ran to the store ) His gift to me was an azalea bush for outside (I had mentioned before I really like them) and a pair of earrings similar to ones I had liked and lost.
My mom came over for lunch, and DH made belgian waffles with bananas, strawberries, walnuts, maple syrup, and whipped cream. We hung out in the backyard while LO took a nap, then after her nap went out to the children's garden and let her explore
Happy Mothers Day everyone! My husband let me sleep in both today and yesterday while he watched LO. It was amazing. He got me flowers and and a sweet card from him and LO. He made eggplant parm for dinner and bought us an ice cream cake (my fav). We went to a new park during the day, which LO loved. It was an awesome family day. I just ate a second piece of cake and kind of regretting it though.

This kills me, how freakin' hard is it to buy a card? MH and I have been together for almost 8 years, by now he KNOWS I like at least a card for occasions, so why is that asking so much. I didn't get a birthday card last week either.
But yet, if I don't get him a father's day card, I will be acting "petty and childish". Which I guess is true, but why should I be thoughtful when he isn't.
We just did our normal Sunday routine. Breakfast and grocery shopping. I got a purse and we went to the movies at night while my mom watch T.
We do the journal thing for Mothers Day and Fathers Day. Last year we each picked out a nice journal at Barnes & Nobles. It is pretty much just LOs foot prints last year and this year (hand prints aren't manageable yet). Then we write a little note next to them. We do it on the day before her bath - next year she'll probably be able to scribble in it herself.

This sounds like how my Mother's Day turned out! DH spent all morning fishing with his BFF and all afternoon sleeping and lounging around. I cleaned up cat and dog poop, changed every diaper, cooked every meal and cleaned up after it. Then before bed last night he couldn't figure out why I was pissed. Yet he will complain if I treat him the same way on Father's Day.

Forgive my poor memory - but wasn't it your hubs that went jogging instead of getting ready to open presents for LO??

HEHE oh heavens NO. My hubs doesn't do anything that requires physical activity!!
Not yet, I was hoping he would do something before we went to bed last night. We had company all weekend and I know he is a private person. but nope, he wanted some hanky panky (which I did not give up) then just went to bed. I will talk with him again to remind him how important this holiday is for me and just a card would suffice. I am not asking for presents or anything, just the few minutes it takes to buy a damn card. I got ones for My Mom and MIL at SPECS for god sake!
