ReplyDeleteThis Mother's Day, my family went out for dinner, like we generally do, and then we give gifts after dinner. This year I'm taking my mother to see Marry Poppins at the fox theater because that's her favorite movie. I'm looking forward to spending the day with her, because we rarely get to do so.
This year mothers day,I was will my aunt and cousin to Peidmont park to see a mid-summer nights dream for English class. My mother and father put a new refringerator in my Grandmere apartment and went out to Red Lobster. I called leaving a message on my mother and grandmere phone. I wished them a happy mothers day. My parents always go out for dinner on mothers day or birthdays. Though I believe my parents should go out for dinner and dancing or see a play. Have a pinic in the park or hike up a mountain, take a trip.
ReplyDeleteWell I was busy working this mother's day. I gave my mother a special present and card. my kids live with their father so I recieved a heart warming phone call.

ReplyDeleteMothers day for my family started out by going to church. Then after church my boyfriend and i took my mom out to church along with my dad. Then we went home and waited on my siter to get home that night and we went out for supper. During supper we gave my mom her gifts. She loved them :). Then on our way home we went to my brothers resting place and put grass seed on his resting place so its not just dirt anymore.

I think it would be a lot of fun to go take my to a play. But my mom does not change things up much. we even ate her regular resturant Ihop. We also exchanged gifts a dinner. which i think is normally for mothers day.
I hung out with My grandmother and My Aunt for the bulk of the afternoon. We (my Aunt and I) took my granmother out to lunch and then she wanted to go to Walmart, so we took her there. We also stopped by my Mom's grave so my grandmother could put out new flowers. It was a pretty good day. I ended it by going home and studying for my Sociology Midterm ;P

On Mother's Day this year we took my mother to lunch and celebrated that way. We did not go out to dinner because some of us had to work. But all in all we spent time together and that is all that she really wanted. It was her day so we did what he wanted to do. Also when I get the chance to become a mother, all I would like to do is to spend time with my family, maybe go out to the park and spend the day outside. I'm not sure but something simple.

ReplyDeleteWell your day sounded very relaxing and just calm! Thats what I like!! Also a friend of mine lost her grandmother a little while ago and she and her mother went to visit her grandmothers grave. I've never lost anyone close to me but I can say that it is probably a hard thing to do.
I was in a predicament with Mother's Day this year. I had to split my time with my mother and my soon-to-be fiance's mother. I started the day off with my family having brunch. I then spent the afternoon with my boyfriend's mother and his family. Having family together, not too extravagant outings, thoughtful gifts is what I think is important for Mother's day.

ReplyDeleteI really like mother's day and i wanted to do something special for her. I cooked her breakfast in the morning and got her a bouquet of flowers. In the afternoon, my mom, dad, and myself went out to lunch in downtown Acworth. Later in the day, I took my mom to an art place and we both painted a picture and drank some wine! It was an awesome day and I'm glad i could do everything I did for my mom.

ReplyDeleteThis is my second mothers day! This year i spent the morning with my baby's dad and he brought me some breakfest. Then around 8 I went out to eat with my mother, my grandma , and of course my daughter came along. It was really nice because we had 4 generations all together. Some people might think less of me for what I am about to say, but I would have rather spent the day all by myself ( no kid, no boyfriend, no one) and just relaxed! That never ever happens so that would have been the greates "Mothers Day" present of all, but how do you tell someone that?
This mothers day my mother had to work all day. So, being a good son that i am i went to the store and bought her some yellow flowers. Then I brought them to her work.

ReplyDeleteThis year for mother's day, I went out to dinner with my kids..My husband was out of town but he sent me flowers with a card. I bought flowers for my sister in law, and mother in law(gave them a card with money) and took them out to eat breakfast after church. I was so nice to be pampered for a day. Mothers work very hard in and out the house, and we all deserved to be pampered at least once a year, all the other time with are catering to everyone else..It is a time to spend with your loved ones and let them spoil you for a day(very well deserved).

ReplyDeleteI had a nice day at work on mother's day. Yes, I am being serious! I work at a hotel so I got to wish a LOT of mothers that were coming in and out of the lobby a Happy Mother's day, including my co-worker. I am not a mother but I had a woman hand me a boquet of flowers and stated, "This is for all the mothers and future mothers". She was so sweet. It was wonderful, we put them in water and kept them at the desk for everyone to see and smell. After work I called my mother to wish her a happy mother's day and wish her the best. She lives in Missouri so I could not go over and see her. It was good to hear that she was havig a wonderful day and that my brother was cooking her dinner.

ReplyDeleteOn Mothers Day, My sister, brother-in-law, and nephew came over after church and we celebrated for both, my mom and sister since they are both mommies now. Mothers Day was the first time I had spoken to my mom in two weeks, because we're both stubborn and hold grudges. Thankfully, we were able to let it go and enjoy the day and things have been better ever since. Thank goodness for Mothers Day!

ReplyDeleteI had to work on Mother's Day! But before I went in that morning, my two-year old sister and me woke my mom up and gave her flowers, cards, and her presents. Then, after I got off work that afternoon, my mom and I had to take my little sister to the ER. Her oxygen level was low and they said it may have been an asthma attack, but the doctors said its hard to diagnose a two-year old with asthma. My mom and me had to stay with her at the hospital overnight so she could receive breathing treatments. It wasn't the best Mother's Day, but we got through it!

ReplyDeleteThis year for mother's day, we had my mom and her mom (my grandmother) at my house along with my sister who lives in Colorado. With all the girls breing together, we went out to breakfast..of course my sister and I paid, then we treated my mom and grandma to pedicures. It was a nice relaxing day that we hope to have more of in the future.

ReplyDeleteI am jealous, at least you have your family and kid. I love to have my own but my husband doesn't want it anymore because he has already a 9 year old daughter when I marry him. Is that sound unfair?
These past 3 years, I really don't celebrate a Mother's day as my Mom live in other side of the world. All I can do is send her a card and a flower and a phone call. This year, as a child, Mother's Day was very sad to me because this is the first year that I didn't send my mom a card or flower. It is because she just passed away on January. I missed her very much! and here, I don't even have a family is just me and my husband, and eventhough I am a mother to his daughter, he didn't made me special on Mother's day;-( But sometimes, a mother or step-mom are wating to be appreciatted, and I admire those people who give some importance to their love ones specially to their Mother.
ReplyDeleteThis mothers day I bought my mother a new camera....We also had a girls day out, we went to the spa, got our hair done, nails etc. and it was all my treat. My mother is a princess and I wanted to make sure that she knew that. Although mothers day is a holiday i think we should celebrate mothers day everyday I mean you do only get one mother
ReplyDeleteResponse to Dianna P
ReplyDeleteI think its a wonderful thing to be able to share mothers day not only with your mother but your grandmother as well. If I had that opportunity I would certainly cherish it.

ReplyDeleteI am away from most of my family this year. Even my husband is working out of town. Cards went out and text messages were sent. My boys and I went to my sister-in-laws house for a family gathering to celebrate all of our mothers. When we got back home there were roses on my front door. It was sweet and the boys were very excited.

Two of my boys were with their dad this year, so I understand about the phone call. Hopefully, next year they will be home, yours and mine.

ReplyDeleteI always love Mother's Day, although I appreciate my mom all year long I feel as it is one day that I can really show her how much she means to me. My daughter always makes Mother's Day very special for me too. As for my mom I got her some flowers and took her out to eat. It was nice spending the whole day with her. As for my daughter she had made a little something at day care for me which was really heart warming. I think once you become a mom you appreciate Mother's Day a little more.
Well, this mothers day I had two concerts to run sound for. I was able to go to lunch with my mom and got her flowers and a card. So i tried hard this mothers day to make is special for my mom.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I can never do enough for my mom. She does so much and I know nothing I do could possibly compare, but I purchased a bouquet of roses and a card for my mom. I know it's the thought that counts, plus her birthday is coming up and she's already doing the countdown! haha Since, I had to work on Sunday I didn't get to spend much time with her, but my family joined me at work while I was on break.

ReplyDeleteThis year I had to work a 12 hour shift for mothers day so I didn't do anything special. My mom is coming down for memorial day week. She is taking my children to Asheville. Meanwhile, I have to work and come to class. Since my mom lives out of town I usually do something nice for her whenever I see her. We usually go on cruises or vacations but this year I have to work. My mom is my best friend, my rock, my everything. I hope she enjoys asheville even though she is more of a Vegas/Bahammas type Gal.
Well, interesting mothers day to say the least. My sister's ex-husband brought over his mother and grandmother. My mom was there and my sister who has a 12 year old. It was a house full of mothers. We ate pizza and chatted it up for the afternoon. Then the event concluded with me washing the windows for a partial "Mother's Day present".

ReplyDeleteThis Mothers Day my children and I spent the night at my grandmother's house with my siblings and my mom. It was really nice to just hang out with one another. We had our family lunch and just relaxed. We didn't do anything really big for one another, but the kids were especially sweet and willing to help out a little bit more. All in all it was a very great day!
My husband's grandmother died the day before mother's day. So that was that. I did take my kids to the children museum in Chattanooga on Saturday. But, soon as we got there my husband got the call that Granny had passed. So we let the kids have fun and told them on the way home. And they boo hooed the whole way. This is a horrible story so I'm going to stop now..

ReplyDeleteI went to my mothers house on Mothers Day and cooked her dinner. We worked in her garden a little and then we watched several episodes of 24 that she had purchased from Netflix. We are not real close so sometimes it is a little tense but all in all it was a nice relaxing day.
To aja,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your Husbands Grandmother. I hope all is well with your children.
To V. Kell,
I am sorry your Mother has passed, this first Mothers Day without her had to be hard.
To Sabrina,
I am glad you had your Aunt and your Grandmother to spend the day with.
My mother does the church thing every Sunday, so I went to her house and mowed the grass and did yard work for her. She was really surprised and pleased with that, which I knew she would be. An ideal Mothers Day for her is just being around another year for my brother and sisters to be with her.
ReplyDeleteTo Kirsten Mallard: I also believe thoughtful gifts are the best for Mothers Day. Doing things that you know mean the most are what most mothers want.

ReplyDeleteThis past Mother's Day consisted on me sending out cards to my mother and sisters. I wasnt able to spend time with them this year. They live in another state. This is probably the one day that is most important to them besides Xmas and their birthdays, but I never get to share it but I do my best to make up during the year to show my love and gratitude for my mother and sisters.
mother's day this years was kind of lonley for me. My mom lives in Colombia so i didn't spend time with her in this great day. I send her roses!. but I really miss her, she is the best mother in the world, she is samart, beautiful, funny, and the most important thing she is my best friend. I miss her soo much!!!!!.

ReplyDeleteI actually had to work on Mother's Day this year so I took my mom out to dinner a few nights before and then we went shopping to just spend some time together since we don't get to do that very often with our busy schedules.

ReplyDeleteFor Mother's Day I planted flowers for my mother. She has always had a nice looking area around her mailbox but with her new work schedule she just never has the time to clean up that area. She went to Florida to see her mom for mother's day and so while she's gone(not back yet) I have weeded the area, planted the flowers she really likes, and threw out all of the rocks she always complained about. SO when she gets home she have something nice to come home to.

Amber, I have 4 kids and I couldn't agree with you more about just wanting a day to myself! I love my kids more than anything, but with motherhood comes a great deal of responsibility!! Escaping that realm of responsibility for just one day isn't asking too much. My mother lives in south Georgia so i didn't get to spend Mother's Day with her, but I called her and sent her flowers. I spent my day working in my yard and planting flowers (which I love to do) and my two youngest children helped. My kids showered me with roses and chocolate and the sweetest cards ever!
I did not have the best of Mother's Day: my family being away, and my kid only two, nobody celebrated me; well apart from some calls from nieces and nephews of course. I called my mom, but could only leave a message, because her phone was off. So this is the way I wanted to be celebrated: my husband would wake me up with a kiss and a "ihop" breakfast in bed, with flowers surrounding the platter and a beautiful setting; then he would treat me to a spa for the morning, where I would be pampered like a queen; then lunch would be ready for me, when I come back from the spa, in a picnic setting near waters, either a lac or beach ( with a preference for the latter, of course); then after a afternoon of leisure, he would invite me to the Atlantic Seafood restaurant where I would have a seafood fest; I would sit o his lap, he would feed me with his fingers and whisper in my ear words of love. After dinner, we would be dancing all night long, to some rythm & blues melody... What a blast...

ReplyDeleteMy parents anniversay was the next week after Mother's Day, so we had a Mother's Day/Anniversary cookout. Lots of friends and family came over to our house, and we just kind of hung out and had fun with each other. My sister and I took our Mom out the next day to get her hair done, and nails done. It was a great weekend all together.

ReplyDeleteSince my son is only two, he is not able to do anything for me yet. So for mother's day I did yard work. The good thing was that It was a free pass day because my husband spent the day with my son, and I enjoyed my quiet time all day. Every day is mothers day, so my mothers day was a day off from being mommy. Because I did nothing on mothers day, or even mothers day weekend- I forgot to send flowers or even a card to my own mother, but at least I remembered to call. Just another day for me- Oh, and I was able to do my homework quietly for once.

Sounds like you had a nice mothers day. I wish I was able to be with my mother and grandma- but they are in NY. I miss gong to church and brunch with the ladies- it definatly makes for a more meaningful mothers day.

ReplyDeleteI belong to pakistan there we have every day is mother day because we have still joint family system, this mother day was a little bit special for me because my mom was here for visiting me from pakistan, so I enjoyed with her.
I drove up to see my mother during the week before mother's day due to work schedules. We cooked out and I got her a gift card to get some clothes. We stayed the night and drove back the next day mother was happy and it was a good visit

ReplyDeletethis year , i have celebrated the mother day for two times. once on march and the other one on may , because in middle east the mother day comes on march 21, which is different day, all i did is i got a neckless and perfume for her , and as nadia said , we should try to make every day a special day for her because she deserves that , not just specific one
