Plans for Mothers day?

**moosmom** · 05-08-2009, 09:01 PM

I'm working at Bad, Breath & Beyond, 12-5 on Mother's Day. I'll go to the cemetery when I get out.

I didn't mention the "other side" of our Mother's Day plans. We are a long way from my mom and my MIL, so we won't see them on Sunday. We will call, of course, and we are planning to have new professional photos made of all 3 of our kids as a gift for them. The gifts will have to be belated, though, because we are waiting until Malcom is just a couple of weeks older before we try to do pictures.

My moms is in Panama, we'll celebrate when they get back the the state.

My mom is really sick right now so we will just be going over her place real quick to give her her gifts. I don't think she's contagious anymore, but she doesn't want everyone around when she coughing all over the place.

We'll be planning a dinner sometime between mother's day and hec's 30th birthday and do a double celebration then.

I'm going to be working from 11am-9pm and taking care of all the lovely mothers and their families since I can't be with my mother (she lives in SC)

I'm very lucky to have a mother. Love ya mom

Providing the weather stays nice, we're going on the trek to see the Spiral Jetty!

I've been wanting to see it for years, I found photos on the internet of it as recent as May 5th so it shouldn't be under water right now. http://www.spiraljetty.org/

Are you going to drive in or Hike in? ... The "road" sounds like a challenge!
And when you get there, can you walk out to the end in the Lake?

OH man. I know it's a day early but my day was today (better hours for the shop LOL)

first we went to this awesome bead shop called Beadniks in a little town about an hour away. Lots of FUN stuff. I had a very lenient budget LOL was handed a bunch of cash and told "happy mother's day" hahahaha ... I cam ein under budget and still have money left. WOOT. but I went CRAZY in that store. LOTS of awesome new beads I can't WAIT to make things with. I'm staring at them longingly but it is too late to start messing around now or I will be up all night haha. but I already have some ideas in mind so I will start cranking them out tomorrow (my relax day)

I got done at the bead store earlier than expected so we went to the mall and I got the latest book in a series I LOVE. gonna head to bed and crank out a chapter or two now lol.

then we went for a wonderful dinner at PF Changs. OMG ... I had the Oolong marinated sea bass on a bed of spinach with citrus infused soy sauce. The MOST expensive thing on the menu lol but WAAAAAAY delicious. I left Brian a little sliver to try (family dining servings BTW hahaha) he had the kung pao chicken and it was YUMMY. Hannah decided to be exciting and threw up in the middle of the restaurant in front of everyone. she is ok she just kinda gagged on a cookie. so afterwards the couple next to us was leaving and they stopped at the table and said we had a lovely daughter and asked if she was our first and we said yes and they said they have 3 and the 4th on the way so they have dealt with all the throwing up in restaurants and everything else and said congrats and wished me a happy mothers day. very sweet. GREAT time.

So now we are home. Had a few drinks. Hannah in bed (long time ago) and tomorrow is my day to just relax and play with my new beads lol.

all in all I had a wonderful day. and I wish a VERY happy mother's day to all the mom's here on PT and all the mom's of our members here.

My sweet Melissa gave me a little hand massager, for my aches and pains, very thoughtful, it is cute lights up when you use it and it does help too, but best of all she sent me an email with a special card which had this cute cartoon teddy bear, opening his arms and it said A BIG HUG TO SAY, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, but best of all was what she wrote at the bottom.
"Dearest Mother,
The best mum in the world deserves a great mothers day, I hope you enjoy your present and know that i appreciate all the work you do for me,so relax whilst i am at work. that mean't "a real lot to me reading that message.

Our lunch out at the buffet meal was very disappointing, the food was extremely fatty, something i just hate, we only got offered one dessert ,nothing else, mind you it was divine i must say that, and the place was freezing, no roaring fire anymore replaced by heat pumps that had not been put on early enough, we were put in the 2nd small dining room, and had to wait a full half an hour before eating, as they let the large room eat first, we really felt like 2nd class diners,( i had booked way in advance too and was not told about these two dining areas)we were told to arrive at 12.30 and did not enter the main dining area until 1pm,(shivering all the time, most unpleasant, and it was one heck of a cold day in Aotearoa on sunday )and the food was not even that hot by then,the chef came around asking about our meal, i was polite but told him it was too fatty for my liking, he said they had tried to lower the fat content and no-one liked it, guess there are still plenty kiwis who love their food dripping in bad fat.

The staff were friendly enough, and helpful, but all in all it was a real let down, and we left dismayed and vouched never to return again.,it wasn't all bad as what we did manage to eat was tasty enough.,but i felt we could have put our sons present money to way better use somewhere else, and wish i had chosen a different venue for our treat lunch.

Anyhow hope everyone enjoyed their day today, mine is well and truly over , it now being Monday down under, and another wet miserable cold day here.

We visited with my mom, and then we went home and planted flowers together. J is quite the digger.

He said to me yesterday morning, "today is Mother's Day and I will call you Mother all day, AND let you do whatever you want, except watch your TV". LOL, we can only watch HIS tv (meaning his shows....no, he does not have his own tv).

It was a great day.

I only had to work until 7:30pm (not 9 like expected) so that was a treat in it's self! I had pleasant guests who appreciated my service and tipped me nicely.

When I came home I had 2 cards waiting for me from "the dogs"

I have such a sweet and loving husband

All in all, it was a very nice Mother's Day.
