Title: Mothers day options
Post by: Miss Demeanour on April 02, 2011, 03:31:58 PM
So I was informed by the brat today that we can spend some 'quality time' togevva tomorrow.

I have made my own plans thanks and inform her that I am going to lunch with Pastis.

S'ok when you get back we can go out  eeek:

Suspiciously I ask for more details  rubschin:

We can go to the pictures to see this film she says. Some crap youff crap. Shouldn't I be able to decide what we watch I suggest. Then the huffing starts , and the mutterings about you try to make the effort, not appreciated round here, nothing else on I wanna see yadda , yadda, yadda . Oh happy days  lol:

In the absence of SWWLTBO (who is at her Mother's today) I have, acting on the boys' instructions, purchased flowers and cards for them to give her.

Tomorrow I will, no doubt, have to get them up and prepare for her a breakfast they can take to her in bed. I shall then spend the rest of the day ensuring she enjoys their company. They have also asked that I prepare a special dinner for her. The THW will, of course expect me to have got flowers and a card for her to give her mother, I am not so much of a b@st@rd as to have not done so as I know she will have done and will do nothing to help. I shall smile brightly and kindly throughout.

At some time during the day, like many others here, I shall take a few minutes alone to reflect upon my own late mother.

Frankly I fvcking hate Mothers Day.

I drove my daughter to town today so she could buy a gift and card for her mother. My son declined to come, leaving it all to his sister. Every other shop had some sort of "Mother's Day" display/signs and Clinton Cards was heaving. Definitely over commercialised like so many special "events" these days.

She ended up buying a DVD and chocs. I suggested a doormat as a gift. My daughter didn't get the joke though I assured her her mum would.

Like Valentines's day if you don't buy something you're seen as as a heartless bastard. We're all being blackmailed to spend, spend, spend.

She worries about me enough, how do you think she'll feel about me going to an imaginary pub every day where people have imaginary cats and lord alone knows what other gems I could worry her with  ;) But she's welcome you all, then nip off to the shop to get another loaf and tinned salmon.... then go back again to get some ..... err, what do you like Miss D?

Christ I hate Hand Knitted cards even more that the ones that come from Hallmark/Clintons etc.

I mean ~ A drawing on a piece of paper from a 5 year old is cute but when grown up get into this "Crafted" hand-made crap it drive me mental.

Also a hand made card  eeek:

Which says :

I just want to let you know that even though I don't show it often , I love you, and I'm grateful for all the things you do for me.

You've always done everything you can to make me happy and I just want to take the time to let you know that I'm thankful.

I hope you have a wonderful day and I love you loads and I know I'm lucky to have you



I was gonna argue about what film to watch later but frankly don't care now  sad24:

Great Mothers Day. Spent an hour refereeing an argument between the two results of my Greatest Ever Mistake. Mother locked in her room with a bottle of my single malt.
