So...what are your Mother's Day plans?

Mother's day is my mom and my birthday. I got her some candy and some scrap booking stuff.

It's my girls birthday so we are going to church and then White Fence Farm(a yummy fried chicken and fixin's restaurant). Then I will probably pass out from all the activities the past week and the ones in the next week!!

My DM & DMIL are both gone, plus we've never lived anywhere near any family at all. My kids & DH don't acknowledge, so it will be a day like any other - laundry, cleaning house, cooking, and maybe I'll make it to the gym to workout.

My mother and MIL are both gone. My DH, youngest son, and grandson are taking me to "Todd English's Tuscany" for dinner. Really looking forward to it!

Usually my kids all come home for Mother's Day, I make lunch or dinner or we go out somewhere. One year we went to a really cool restaurant that had a window along one side where you could see into an indoor riding arena and watch people riding horses. But this year my eldest son said to me that he wanted to spend Mother's Day with his wife, as he felt she gets overshadowed when we all celebrate together. That was fine with me, and I was planning to just do something with my other two sons (my daughter is away at university).

But Friday my 4-year-old grandson called and said he wanted us to come for dinner for Mother's Day. When I talked to my daughter-in-law, she said that he had become quite upset when he found out he wasn't going to see us on Mother's Day! I thought that was very sweet. So they are going to do some things together in the morning and for lunch, and then we'll go over for dinner.

I already sent my mother a card and gift earlier in the week, but she lives too far away to visit. Two years ago, my sisters and I all chipped in together and sent her on a trip to England to visit her sister and family, and she was thrilled. But this year, two of my sisters are in the middle of moving to new places and we're all financially a bit strapped. So we won't be able to top that!
