Keep one of my grandsons for the weekend while his Mom and SD go away for the weekend.....
She has us for every holiday, the only one offspring still in the area, so I don't mind doing it. She did the "tea party" thing one time and we had a good time. I always get a bouquet or fruit basket from one DD and maybe a phone call from son.
My mother is 10 years passed. But, I always honor her on that day.
I'm taking my mother and father out to a fine dining restaurant this Friday. My mother doesn't like to go out on mother's day saying that the restaurants are too crowded. I already bought her a card, now I just need to get some flowers then I'm good to go!
We go out to brunch on Mother's Day. We pick a convenient restaurant for all of us. My mom really enjoys it There will be 10 total this year; mom, me & dh 2 sisters with their husbands and grandkids. My father started the tradition he has since passed but we continue it and think of him.
DH & I have week-end reservations in a nice hotel in a nearby city. We'll have dinner out Saturday evening, room service breakfast Sunday morning, and then will enjoy a home-and-garden tour featuring restored Craftsman bungalows.
We made plans and reservations before realizing it was Mother's Day week-end.
Our grown children live thousands of miles away and might or might not FB message me to wish a happy day. That's fine with me, it's how I raised them. We celebrate and honor each other throughout the year, opt out of Hallmark-heavy events. I've never been one to send or receive greeting cards or greenhouse flowers. When my mother was alive, I did the whole flowers-card-dinner thing because she enjoyed it. My mother-in-law is still living but feels exactly as I do.
Packing since we are moving. Possibly shopping for a new vehicle if I haven't found one by Saturday. We'll see. I don't need a major celebration. It's not a holiday I've ever expected a lot from. I guess I don't expect a lot from any holiday, actually. I'm hoping not to get any nasty texts from my mom. It's a toss up.
