Apparently my mom-in-law agrees with you because she surprised me with a cute pair of earrings for Mother's Day. So sweet!<br /><br />@Not Jenny - I wholeheartedly love your idea! I would much rather have K love me with the gift of service (aka a free day off) than a physical present. Will starting hinting for next year... ;)A Gamer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291255836474915117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605804213322687879.post-75796611946609798152012-05-15T13:09:26.296-05:002012-05-15T13:09:26.296-05:00Mother's Day is a day for me to do whatever I ...Mother's Day is a day for me to do whatever I want to do. That usually means I stay in bed and read and have coffee brought to me. Our daughter loves to celebrate anything so she has recently started making my husband make me breakfast in bed as well, which I heartily encourage. This year I had to drag myself out of bed and prepare for a minor inlaw invasion or my day would have involved a lot more Skyrim and a lot less cooking this time. Oh, and having to put on a bra before lunchtime is also not part of my usual Mother's Day tradition! There is always next year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02829064350820161435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605804213322687879.post-74807562733705913802012-05-15T01:20:04.659-05:002012-05-15T01:20:04.659-05:00This apparently is a dilemma among many first time...This apparently is a dilemma among many first time expecting moms...I feel that from the moment you concieve you are a mother, and should be celebrated. You are the one going through morning sickness, and food aversions, cravings, and dietary restrictions (I sure do miss Sushi, and rare steaks. You are the one who feels little ones karate moves, and hiccups. You are the one who will be bloated, and gaining weight at an uncomfortable rate. Your body and emotions are going through significant changes that you wouldn't go through as a "non-mother" If you are "trying" but arent yet, then I'd have to say you are not yet a mother, but from the moment you have a little person growing inside, you are a mom!Echo Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871391242969286955noreply@blogger.com
