I get to pick up my mother's day gift tomorrow! DH bought me a brand new car...we have been a one car family for almost our whole marriage. Yes, there is public transportation and yes DH likes to ride his bike, but it will be nice to not have to make sure plans are made around transportation.

shareI told DH that for Mother's Day I didn't want to do dishes. He actually made a nice breakfast for us all and cleaned up after himself, which is a rarity. There were a few dishes in the sink the next morning, but that's not so bad.
All of my kids made gifts at school for me for Mother's Day, which are cute but I don't treasure them. The ones I treasure are the things they make me on their own. This year, DS6 told me to check the mail. I did, and he had left a homemade card for me with tons of hearts and an "I love you mom" on it along with other drawings. So so sweet.
I didn't call, write or even think about my mother on Mother's Day. I am so glad I became mature enough to "get over her". Selfish, manipulative narcissist - luckily, I have other women who mothered me! I tried for 30 years to get her to love me and I realized she isn't capable of loving anyone but herself.
During Mother's Day dinner at a restaurant (first time in years) I was reminded of exactly why I hate restaurants for special occasions. Just as my prime rib is brought to the table, my two youngest girls needed the bathroom...and then there was a line. Yeah, not the best part of my day, but I didn't let it ruin it. And I think we'll stay home next year.
I spent Mother's Day dinner with my ex boyfriends family. I go over there a lot actually. Sometimes just to piss my ex and his wife off. I can't help that his family likes me better, but I do love feeling as though they would rather him be with me. I wouldn't mind him taking me back, either. I made a huge mistake leaving him.
I had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. I actually put my expectations very low, so it definitely exceeded them. My family did well. I guess this means I've got to come up with an awesome Father's Day plan. :)
