What did you do for your Mom today or what did your family do for you?
My daughter called me at 7:00am from work to wish me a happy Mother's. We are going out Monday for lunch since she worked today. My son and his girlfriend sent me flowers, he called and is taking me out to lunch on Wednesday.

My Mom is dead, but I thought of her a lot today.

1. I sent my mom a present via Shutterfly, but she hasn't received it yet.
I wrote notes to my mom, my mother-in-law, and my husband's grandmother.

My husband and kids took me shopping for a few goodies yesterday. My five-year-old made me a candle in school, inside an old baby food jar decorated with colored tissue paper. I think that was the most awesome gift of them all!

4. I got my mom a hanging basket
of a combination of plants and flowers and one of them goofy cards that I'm well known for in my family. I hate serious cards, but I always try to get someone a nice gift.

5. I was wined and dined three times(work schedules) and gained
at least 5 pounds.

I also received calls and flowers from the 2 out of staters.

I had a wonderful Mother's day and I am very grateful!

8. I sent my mom flowers from ProFlowers
But I must have messed up the card because she didn't know who they were from. We had a good laugh about it.

10. My mother died in '96
My brother (only immediate family member I have now) and his wife thought they were going to get by with treating me like crap today, but I didn't go along with their plans.
