QOTD 5/8

[fiveohfive]

Describe your ideal Mother's Day... Is there any specific activity you want to do, place you want to go or thing you want to eat? Is there a gift you'd like to receive from your DH or kids?

Last year we got sandwiches at Panera and went to the park for a picnic and it was great. This year I feel like poo and asked if I could have a nap and a rain check.

I would love to have the whole day with just me, DH and the kids. No housework allowed! An afternoon nap would be awesome, a finger painting from DD1 would be adorable and I'd love for DH to get me something little (workout shirt, garden planter, nothing more than ~$30). As long as we are together I'd be happy doing anything or nothing. A glass of wine and movie with DH would end the night right

Sorry morning sickness? How excited was your mom when you got to tell her?!?

I'd also love a day with just DH, DD and myself. Maybe spend some time at the park, have a picnic, and grab bubble tea afterwards! We don't really do gifts, but I'd LOVE a new diaper bag.. haha.

We'll be spending the day with the inlaws, unfortunately. I'm a bit disappointed because I'm selfish and don't want to have to share DD all day long. She'll only be an only child for a few more weeks and I want to enjoy every moment. MIL basically takes over when we are there.

My ideal Mothers day is just my DH, dd, and myself, doing something fun. This year they are taking me out for a delicious breakfast, not sure what else we are going to do since the weather is supposed to be uncooperative.

We can see our mothers a different day.

Yes m/s. My mom freaked out, she is so excited! Thanks for asking

Last year I went to breakfast with my mom, grandma and DD. I think DH made dinner. I don't really remember.

This year I just want to sleep in, take a shower when/as soon as I feel like it, not cook at all that day, and enjoy the day worry free. Oh, and a big bottle of wine.

Honestly, I'd like DH to take all of the responsibilities associated with DD just for one day. I typically do it all and I appreciate the time with her but it's alot, especially now that my belly's getting big and she's got more energy and personality than I can keep up with easily.

That said, I want her around...I just want him to do all diaper changes, meal prep, bathtime, and bedtime.

I'd also like her to have a really good day with a great attitude and lots of love. She was such a big hugger yesterday, I about died of the love. Hopefully we can load up and go to the park for a while. That, at least, should be totally manageable.

I don't remember what we did last year so not sure if that says anything. I just hope for a card and I would like to not have to wake up with kids in the morning so I can sleep in. Im a mothers day baby so mothers day runs together with my birthday which means I kind of get the shaft in the gift department.

[redfraggle]

I want DH to get up with the kids while I actually sleep in and then to take me out for brunch with a chocolate fountain and lots of fruit and stuff to dip in it, other menu items are less important than a fountain of chocolate, though probably an omelet station would be good. The kids would then not be crabby at all and DH would handle the nap routines and diaper changes without DD flipping out. They will treat me to a mani/pedi at the Aveda spa down the road as my gift.

I want to sleep in. And then I'd love to hang out outside and later have some delicious food and alcohol (sadly that last one can't happen) and go to bed early. I'd also like DH to do all of the work/care for DS but still have DS hang out with us.

Last year, that's pretty close to what actually happened AND DH surprised me with a sapphire necklace (LO's birthstone), which is really out of character for him.

[happymama]

I would love to go to brunch and then get outside for a family day with just the three of us. I don't know if DH has planned anything, and getting him to leave the house on a Sunday is nearly impossible, so I'm not getting my hopes up.
My second choice would be if I got to go shopping alone. I love DD to death, but lately my wardrobe has become very sad and every time I've tried to go shopping for new clothes, DD ends up having a huge tantrum and flopping all over the floor. Going for a leisurely shopping trip alone sounds heavenly.

A gift of a completely clean house without my lifting so much as a finger. That's real nice. And MH saying, "No cooking tonight. I take you to Olive Garden." #sohopeful

For DH to do everything I do for DS. Have the entire day to myself. Go shopping and not have to watch the time.

To spend the day with my mom. I have not spent Mother's Day with my mom since I left for college. I went to college out-of-state (like a 7 hour flight). Now I'm a 12 hour flight away.

I would love to finish a cup of coffee while it was still hot. Eat a meal while it was hot from start to finish. Enjoy a glass of wine from start to finish. Do anything without looking at the time.
