My wife, kids and I took my mother out to eat at a good restaurant tonight to spend some time together as family. She loved it, the food was great and we all had a wonderful time!
I have made other plans for my wife, the mother of our 2 boys, but since she frequents the Duck, I'll keep those plans to myself. I hope y'all understand!
I'm going to paint a picture of her...but it's obviously not going to be done in two days, so I'm going to be giving her the promise that I'll paint a picture of her.
My Mom asked for a gift certificate from Fabric Land, which I picked up. What she didn't ask for was some sugarless truffles that I got at the local market. (She can't have sugar).
My sister and I got her a nice handbag and a new pair of slippers, since the winter months are approaching. It was what she asked for, but not exactly the types she picked out, but when I got home I found out we were pretty close, so hope she'll like it
Insanity Complex: We may not be insane, but we like to think we are
To add on to Moms gift, I picked up a case that has 2 dead blue butterflys in it.
Some how, it helps the rain forest. So, YYYEEAAAHHH!!! Make Mom happy, and save nature!!!
Im gettin my mom some of her favorite perfume, solar lights 4 the yard, and a free pass 4 the Zoo. she will be able to help make up some of the animals diets and feed them ^o^ (YAYYYY 4 BEING A VOLUNTEER @ THE ZOO!)
My mom is one of those moms that never wants anything because she just goes out and buys anything she needs. A couple years ago she moved house as well, so she took the opportunity to get rid of years and years of accumulated knick-naks, teddy bears, etc. (I'm sure most of them were all gifts at some point.) Now she doesn't like anything that doesn't match the interior design of the house (rustic southwest); she's particular about brands; she doesn't like to shop online. So, unless mom tells us there's a specific thing she wants (which she usually doesn't) it's hard to buy for her, moreso because I'm in England and she's still in the US. :[
So, this year I found some handmade fired-clay condiment bowls on etsy that seemed really nice. She likes to have lunch parties and stuff and so hopefully she'll find a use for them
My mom isn't alive, so I just thought about her for Mothers' Day. I can truly say it isn't something I usually do. Recently, she's been coming up in my head a lot, though.
Nadya- a tale about what happens to SOME of us when we die.
Currently: Nadya is awake and asking more relevant questions.
I live about 1800 miles from my mom, so I called her at about 8AM her time (before she went to church with my dad). As for Fathers day? I'm flying out to see them for a whole week! Not really planned for that but it happened that way!
