I will be flying to Where my mom lives for a couple of days, but come home the night before Mother’s Day. I will take my mom out while I’m visiting, or get carry out. I have a practical present for her (remote control for her hearing aids). My “gift” for most holidays now is that I pay for all of her trips.
I will be lucky if I get a text from one son and from step-daughter. My other son will do something nice, like write a card that says I get free chores of some sort, or he will offer to take me/pay for a meal or something. My husband will get a card and a gift. It helps if I leave pictures out or give specific instructions :). He will also offer to take me out or cook, which means we will probably have carry out.
Maybe I will ask my husband to make dinner. I don’t want to go out on mother’s day without my kids on that day
I am going to MS with D & FSIL to attend a cocktail party in his hometown in their honor on Saturday night, so I will get to spend the day with them driving back on Sunday afternoon and the “other mother” will get to spend time with the kids as well. Probably the only time that I can imagine that those two will both see their moms on Mother’s day since we are 7 hours apart. Should be fun!
S is coming home for the weekend. Last year, DH and I drove up the coast to visit him. We spent a beautiful day hiking and hanging out at the beach. It also happens to be my birthday next weekend so he gets off easy 
@lilmom I wish we had a beach close enough where I could hang out. The nearest one is at least 4 hours away. It is not quite beach weather over here.
Just met up with S and D–we all flew in from our respective cities and are in SF. Went to nice French/Italian place for dinner after our flights which is right next to our hotel. Will have the day together on Sunday and an early dinner before S flies out to a meeting nearby. So happy. 
:x
This os my first mothers day without my mom.
Hubby just made lemon blueberry pancakes, bacon and mimosas. My d is home so we’re spending the day. My biggest gift is my son getting an awesome internship. Hopefully he’ll know enough to call.
It is funny that my disabled son remembers mother’s day but my college bound son doesn’t. I will have the brunch later, with sons and H. I need to call mom today.
The usual. Nothing.
I just got a long email from my future SIL. He thanked me for raising the most “wonderful woman on the planet”. Needless to say, I adore him. :-*
Kids planned to make breakfast for me this morning. They are still asleep. I am getting hungry. 
Fur Kid (dog) and I are going hiking this afternoon.
Husband made blueberry pancakes but forgot the blueberries for the first batch. Son sent me a SpaceX mug and t-shirt. Expect nothing and be happy with a sunny day and maybe a Skype this afternoon.
Also my first Mother’s Day without Mom, whom I last saw on Mother’s Day 2015. Coincidentally also last saw my father on a Mother’s Day 19 years ago. I convinced DH to go out for a nice brunch to help chase away the sadness. DS is far away but we will Skype later.
DH did bring me a lovely bouquet yesterday. We had stopped by a farmers market and I had considered picking up some irises and gladiola but they weren’t fresh so I passed. Then while DH was out running errands later I got a call from DS who said by the marvels of magic, flowers were about to arrive long distance. Two minutes later DH walked in with the bouquet from a florist, who included the very same flowers and more.
DS did also send a card. DH never used to get me a card because I “wasn’t his mother”. Then he started getting me cards from the cat. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to her also last year. At least the rain has ended so I can enjoy the gardens at the resort at brunch.
Just received the most beautiful card from my soon to be HS graduate son. He made a point to let me know that he read a lot of cards before he found the “right one”. My Mother’s Day is complete. Plan to spend it with some great neighbor families for a BBQ. Happy Mother’s Day everyone .
Just a call to my mom today. I’ll take her out to dinner when she comes in later this week to take me to my treatment.
My fur child woke me up by hitting me in the face so she could go outside. So there’s that…
Happy mother’s day to all the moms and mom-figures out there
DH made brunch for me, him and S1, who’s here for the weekend. Got a card in the mail from S2, which is good for him since when he remembers to send a card, it usually arrives late. I saw my 94 yo mother yesterday, who wished me a happy mother’s day after I wished her one.
We’re going to brunch a little later at a location known only to H and kids. My middle one can’t make it because she works at a restaurant and it’s all hands on deck there. Later my D16 and are going prom shoe shopping. She made me a pretty card with a “baby” flower and a “mom” flower in the same photo. and thanked me for all that I do. It’s nice to feel appreciated. My parents and H’s parents are long gone, so these holidays are always a little bittersweet.
My usual breakfast in bed, made my dh and ds1, who is here for the weekend. When he came home Friday, he had roses and two chocolate-covered strawberries. While eating, ds2 FaceTimed in, and my homemade card was revealed. It always has a silly theme. I hope they never stop doing that.
Oh, and I’ve been told that some books are coming my way.
Well, my mother has told me Happy Mothers Day. The waitress told me Happy Mothers Day. My mother’s care aide told me Happy Mothers Day. Nothing from DH. A text from D, but hey, it had flower emoticons.
Had lunch at DS and DIL’s, DD2 was there - with flowers and card for me- and my MIL,too, we face timed DD1 and SIL on the other coast.
