Since I am leaving on May 6th and won't be home for Mother's Day, my mom has gotten a gift each day since Sunday.
This is what she got so far/will get:
Sunday: Gardening knee pad (for weeding/dead heading/etc.) She used old towels before.
- I gave it to her while we were in the garden together, and asked what the weeds were doing down there. She said she hadn't got them yet and didn't want to get her towel to do it. So I put the kneepad down, which was behind my back. :p
Monday: Visor CD holder with turtle design
-I put it in her car after she had gone to bed on Sunday. She woke up in the morning, drove to work without noticing it. On the way home she went to get a CD out of her console and they weren't there, so she just continued driving. She finally noticed it after a while on the way home. :p
Tuesday: Turtle candle holder
-I told her it smelt like wet dog in the house (the dogs just got gome from swimming at the island) and asked her if she had a candle I could burn in my candle holder.
Wednesday: Turtle stepping stone for the garden
-I'm going to place it in the garden somewhere, see if she notices it!
Thursday: We're going to the Florida Botanical gardens today, so I'm going to buy here something there.
Friday: Book; "Why daughters need mothers"
- Figured I'd place it in her chair with a bag of her favorite snacks. Friday is always the busiest day at our work.
Saturday:
HOPEFULLY my brother and sister will cooperate and we will get a picture of the three of us before I leave. We were supposed to do it on Sunday last week but they both broke plans on me. If not, I'm just going to print out one of the dogs and I.
Sunday: Breakfast
So, do you think that makes up for being gone on Mother's Day? :p
