[artlady]

Re: M-Day

I'm heading to a reunion of old friends the day before & may or may not be home for "the day that shall not be named." DH always says "You're not my mom" & DS will likely be at DIL's DM's celebration as usual. DDD will be sad, but she only comes for the food, lol.

It's a good idea to have a plan

The fountain I ordered for myself for Mother's Day came and it's darling. It makes the prettiest sound and reminds me that my mothering is about me and who I have become and how much being a mother helped with the process of maturing and finding self-worth. I did a fabulous job! What my eldest DS did with that was about him, not me, and I am rejoicing in my success! :-)

[artlady]

Yes I agree Luis and glad your fountain is wonderful for you. So far so good on the plantings and a few new shrubs i put out , ( for me  lol ) . We have had winter weather here in the south this week so i do hope all if did won't be in vain.  Now to see what other trouble i can get into for my Mother's day treats.  lol

Oh I forgot about Mothers Dayb Could skip it happily.

Have a plan, TMB...go do something fabulous for yourself. Hiking, biking, painting, beach day, gallery crawl, bra fitting, what have you

[artlady]

Now Pen that bra fitting idea is a hoot, that might be the last place i would have thought of for Mother's day, but a good one   lol

Hey, what could be more uplifting? Lol

Hi all,

In the past my two sisters and I would talk about where we would like to go on MD and then the cousins would take us to dinner.  This year my son is going through a divorce, so my grandson won't be with us for the first time ever.  That will be very sad.  Even though DS and I haven't been close (I won't go into the whole story, that's been covered), he has never forgotten me on MD.  This year it will probably be just the two of us, and that will be good, because I have some (good) things to say to him, not for GS's ears. 

BTW, A couple of weeks ago a friend of DS died, one who was  close to his age.  DS was with him when he passed away; and that does change us forever.  I am glad that he was a good friend to the very end and admire him for that.  He is still processing it all and I think he's rethinking his thinking.

Anyway, I didn't mean to hijack, only to say it's amazing how things can change.  I believe prayer works.

Glad to hear your DS is going to be with you, SusieQ. I'm sorry for his loss, but it sounds as if it has opened his eyes.

I shall visit my Mom and my MIL in celebration of Mother's Day and let them both know how much I appreciate them and value them.

I shall visit my Mom and my MIL in celebration of Mother's Day and let them both know how much I appreciate them and value them.

Good idea.  On a perfect Mother's Day, the only people who should be home are the oldest moms whose moms have passed.  Everyone else should be out visiting their moms!

[artlady]

that is exactly what I thought it should be but now that the DD is a first time mother instead of bringing gs to see me she is expecting me to drive there . I";m the oldest and that is how I was raised we went to the grandmother's , after her death to my mothers ( who died way to early at 67). So I guess things have changed but I'd really like the way I was raised but I can see those days are long gone i think.

Since my mom & MIL passed long ago & DS will be w/his MIL, unless DH suddenly comes up w/ a better idea I'm going for a bra fitting.  That pretty much guarantees I'll be alone on Mother's Day, lol.
