What are your Mothers Day Plans?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[seemunkee]

1. Guess I need to get busy

I have no idea. If its nice maybe we can do a picnic.

[Adsos Letter]

2. visiting mom's resting place to lay some flowers on, and

helping my wife with my daughter's Spring banquet...I get to play photographer :woohoo:

[KitchenWitch]

3. I keep planting the "breakfast in bed" bug in my daughter's ear

And she is planting it in her daddy's ear.

We shall see.

4. I was mixed up from the ramped-up hype of Mother's Day in

the media, and mistakenly believed last Sunday was the sacred holiday. I finally said to family, "Why isn't anyone being nice to me today?" Husband & daughter = blank look. I sidled over to the calendar & spied my mistake. I probably blew a whole buncha Mother's Day brownie points with my obliviousness.

[Robeson]

5. Moving it to Monday with Mom, since my wife's sister wants to hook up....

...with us on Sunday.

6. Nada...

and this year, I'm not just being coy. I really don't want to do anything.

I'm assuming, of course, that the kids behaving and not trying to kill each other is out of the question.

:eyes:

[Zookeeper]

29. I get you, RRR....

I'd like to go off by myself that day (it IS the fishing opener..:) ), and let my DH worry about whether or not the kids are going to kill each other.

Want to go fishing with me? :+

:toast:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Going to Oregon to see mom, and also to attend my daughter's

sister's graduation from law school.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. I plan on remaining a mother

Am sure my son will take me out for breakfast with the grandkids and DIL's parents.

I bought a beautiful copper and stained glass wind chime for my DIL.

[Evoman]

9. I'm not even THINKING about it right now.

My mom is gonna end up getting a shitty, last minute gift. I'm defending my thesis on Friday, and I haven't left the house all week (must....study....). And this weekend, I may be either too shit-faced drunk (if I fail) or too shit-faced drunk (if I pass) to be much good.

28. Mommy will understand. That is a BIG deal - all the best to you! n/t

10. the mail

I am mailing my mother a two-three page letter and as a gift, a neck pillow. It's a certain kind of pillow she likes. Also some lovely green berries I bought for her at Smith & Hawkens (she's loves to do flower arrangements).

It is going out in the mail tomorrow.

I will also phone her.

Thinking of love. You know what's odd? When your child's birthday, mother's deathday, and mothers day are all the same week.

[Orsino]

12. Go to church and to lunch with my MIL...

...then call my Mom later.

[lizerdbits]

13. Going to work

I already warned her and she said her only plans are not cooking. So it's just a card this year and I will probably call when I get off.

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Go to church, come home afterward. Maybe go to a movie.

It would probably be a good day to go to a movie.

THen come home and watch Family Guy.

[MissMillie]

15. getting together w/ my mom & dad and my 3 sisters

for steamers and scallops

and Texas Hold 'Em Poker (nickel a chip)

[Raven]

16. Trying out my new grill/smoker except that I have no idea

what to do with the smoker. Will is coming for the weekend and is thrilled that I bought this contraption but he thinks it's quite hilarious that I have no idea how to use it! :-)

[Rhythm]

17. Making Oktoberain brunch...

and then, if the weather holds up, maybe a trip down to our favorite park that afternoon.

[Daisymae97]

18. I'm going camping

with my mother and 140 Girl Scouts. :crazy:

[ThomCat]

19. None.

My mom is 500 miles away and we don't talk to each other much. I'll give her a call, and we'll talk for 5 minutes.
:shrug:

[bigwillq]

20. We're taking her to lunch.

Then they are going up to my cousin's house. I after to work after lunch. :(


I bought her the Dreamgirls DVD and my sister bought her some other stuff.

[wavesofeuphoria]

21. The kiddo is taking me to the Tulip Festival in Albany ...

and then to see "Shrek 3" .. followed by dinner made by her (with some help from her poppa).

[ganeshji]

22. I'm going to see some ladies in the nursing home.

I've made a few friends there whose kids can't/won't be able to visit for Mother's Day. I sent my Mom some things she will enjoy since I will won't see her until this summer.

[Deep13]

23. Only one question, huh?

Depends on the weather Saturday night. If it is clear, I will be observing until 4:00 a.m. and sleeping into the afternoon. If the weather sucks, my wife and I will go cycling at the park. My mother lives back East, so no visiting or anything.

[XNASA]

24. I'll be planting a tree.

No, really. An Eastern Red Bud.

It's what Mrs. XNASA would like to do.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

25. Nothing involving a circular saw....

Sorry, couldn't resist -- the two thread are right next to each other. :P

[TommyO]

26. My mother wants to go to the Waterfront Buffet at Harrahs, AC.

So, that's where my brother and I are taking her.

[SarahB]

27. I have to work.

:(

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. Going to the triplets' for dinner.

My mother is gone, but three mothers will be there. The triplets' mother, my sister, and my nephew's fiancee, who is divorced with three kids.

My nephew-in-law (the professional chef) is cooking dinner. No clue what yet, but it will be excellent. It always is....

[BarenakedLady]

31. Dunno

:shrug: I guess I'll find out if anyone remembered on Sunday.

I did send my mom some flowers and a card though.

[Poiuyt]

32. This will be my first Mother's Day without a mother

She passed away last summer

[Wetzelbill]

33. I don't even know when it is

I guess I better figure it out and give her a call when the time comes. :)
