    We wont be doing anything. I have to do my husband's school work all weekend and I haven't been feeling too well. The kids are 2 and 5 so at least they wont remember.
    Do tell- why are you doing your husband's schoolwork? Is he not able to do it himself?

    I've asked if we could just work around the yard since it's supposed to be nice weather here. We have a redneck look going, complete with dead cars and very overgrown grass and I'm sick of looking at it. I suggested we grill bratwurst and that went over well with my husband. His birthday is two days after Mother's Day and our youngest's birthday is two days after his so he tends to lose out a little unless I purpose to do something for him. One year Mother's Day was ON his birthday so I asked him to take me fishing. I like fishing so it was a win for both of us. :)

    I'm a major planner type and my mom prefers to do things spontaneously. So my husband and I are going to her house at midday Sunday and won't tell her what we're doing or having as a meal until then. We don't have anything big planned. She wants a nice glass pitcher so I'll buy that for her along with some cute shoes. We'll either whisk her off to a restaurant somewhere or bring in Chinese (her fave).

    I got my stepmom a card. We're fairly close, but that's always been the deal...Mother's Day stuff is mainly for my actual mom, and then I celebrate my stepmom more on her birthday in July.

    I'm heading home and building raised garden beds for the back yard and a pretty little garden surrounding the mailbox in the front yard. I'll make breakfast in the morning and then clean up the house. :) She's got flowers headed her way today.

    I love my mom so much omg

    Baseball game then dinner at the in-laws. Excited for the game, but will definitely have to budget calories appropriately to make it through hotdogs and my father-in-law's cooking!

    I told my husband that I want to have fruit and sit on my patio and enjoy the sunshine!
    No processed foods, no sugary gooey deserts to throw off my Whole30 lifestyle. I want simple, fruity and wholesome. I don't want to sound like a "no fun mom" but I really want to get three pounds off before tuesday and I have a goal!
    I want to have a great active weekend with nutritious foods and exercise!

    (I never in a million years thought I would ever say that! :smile: )

    Never anything wrong with asking them to throw on a piece of chicken on the grill for you!
    I have found that people are supportive, but you just have to ask!

    I'm really sorry, that's tough. Hugs to you. My husband lost his mom very suddenly two years ago and Mother's Day is hard on our family, too. To answer the question, we're having a little get together at my father in law's house. Grilling burgers by the pool and keeping him company.
