Thread: What did you get for mother's day?

My son bought me a funny card and a beautiful basket of flowers..it was his dad's weekend to have him but he called me early in the morning

My Moms day was terrific. My oldest came home on saturday evening from school. This was a big deal because of the campus 4 day scanvenger hunt was still in full swing. He bought dinner that night from one of our favorite pizza places. I got to sleep til 11 when hubby woke me up with a kiss and a Happy Moms day message. I came out to the kitchen to find coffee and doughnuts. 2 great cards a huge purple petunia flower hanging basket from my youngest. Son #3bought my a vase and a package of lighters since I cannot seem to keep track of them lately. Son #2 went back to school on saturday morning but left a nice handmade card and a cd he made of my favorite 151 songs. Then son #2s gal pal came by with a bell, which I collect and a package of sixlets and a very nice card. She stayed and chated with me for about an hour. Then I drove son #1 back to school. As I got out of the car to give him a hug goodby he introduced me to 2 female friends. He then informed me that they were about to present me with my Moms day gift.
They sang "All My Loving" from the Beatles. They had beautiful voices and then suddenly a guy with a guitar nearby joined in. It made me cry. Then I asked him if he chose the song and he said yes. I said its because you miss us at home being here at school right and he said no, I just liked the song. LOL. It had to have been the best Moms day in my 20 years of being a Mom.
Oh yeah, hubby bought me candy and a pack of smokes which he hates buying me.

Then my sisters fought all day, but she seemed to enjoy it.

My kitty gave me $40 so I could have some munchies and beer at the minor-league baseball game...but I only had a hot dog. I hit the souvenir shop and got 2 t-shirts from the clearance rack for 5 bucks each (one for my DBF, since that's where Scruffy gets her $ ) and then after the game went shopping and got myself a new dustbuster, some new pillow cases, a pair of capri pants and a sports bra! Between the kitty's money, gift cards and coupons, I only spent about $20 of my own money.

Sounds like most of you did really well- I on the other hand am going to whine so if you aren't up for it- stop now...First of all- hubby scheduled a pokemon event 4.5 hours away...I lost this mothers day- had to pawn my jewelry to pay for a venue cost and was told that once we collected entry fee's that I would get it all back on Monday...well Monday has arrived and I am only getting one pawn back (did it on 2 different day so we could get enough $) if that wasn't bad enough- I got nothing except to spent the day with my 5 year old (who bossed me around all day...) I know at least I have my kids- ready to kick the spouse to the curb though! thanks for bearing with my rant...I will get over this - just need time to do that...no cards- no flowers...only thing I got was from my secret pal- sad huh?

I got a beautiful diamond ring from my wonderful daughter. I had been lusting after it for the longest time but just couldn't make myself spend $1231.00 for a ring I really didn't need. I just wanted it My husband is redoing my bathroom. New counters, floors, mirrors you name it. It will look so pretty when it's done. My grandson who is seven made me the cutest card. My father-in-law gave me $50.00. So it turned out to be a nice day....
