Besides world peace and breakfast in bed (does anybody really like to eat Breakfast in bed?) what gift, say under $100 do you want for Mother's Day?

I know we all like a hand made card and a poem or drawing but I'm wondering what gadget, piece of jewelry, etc you are hoping for.

I personally want maid service to get my house **** and span and then maybe I will be able to keep up but I don't think I'm going to get it for less than $100. Besides that I would like a nice waffle iron- a complete luxury as far as I'm concerned but I've always wanted one and I'd like my kids to know that Eggos aren't real waffles.

The only thing I want for Mother's Day is sleep. Preferably six whole hours in a row all by myself.

We don't typically do gifts for Mother's and Father's Day, maybe a card and DH takes care of the cooking/food for the day and watches the kids so I can get a nap or a cup of coffee on my own. Although, my 3yo did come home from the grocery store with "pretty flowers" for me last week (his own idea).

I really want to not have to cook or do dishes. I remember breaking down and doing the dishes from my breakfast in bed one year, after they'd sat there all day.

I want to see the excitement on my children's face as they pamper me. They love it. It makes me smile.

I told my husband that I want the three of us to go to the movies. Weird, but I haven't seen a movie in long time. It's hard finding a movie we all can agree on.

I have already received "coupons" that I can use for Mother's Day, breakfast in bed, no tantrums, doing the dishes, folding the laundry, and an activity of my choosing.

I want my DH to take over my role as mom for the day and make all the food, clean all the messes, handle any crying or other problems, take the kids somewhere while I sit home in bed and read/sleep/watch movies, etc. without interruption.

A massage. I will do all my normal duties that day but a massage would be so wonderful for these aching shoulders and back.
