I was going to call her and say hi. Tell her I love her and then hang up.
then when I get home I was gonna buy her something really nice. Take her to dinner and give it to her there. Then buy her some drinks and bring her home.
Then I was gonna tuck her in the bed and watch the golden girls with her till she falls asleep.0 -
How about adopting a Mom for the day from a nearby Nursing home?
I'm sure there's plenty of forgotten Mom's there.0 -

I think this is an awesome idea!!
Personally - I am going to attempt to make her a yummy/awesome looking cake with fondant icing (need to practice for my son's birthday so will use Mum as a guinea pig lol). I also always cook a Roast meal on a Sunday, so will be inviting her over for a feast with all of the trimmings!!
I am a mother myself, so I need to leave some room in the day for my boy to spoil me too! =P0 -
Being mother's day is this weekend, and I no longer have a mom on earth to celebrate it with...
I was wondering, what you guys have planned for this weekend, to show mother dearest how much you loves her?
Do you have a grandmom to celebrate with? I really like the idea of adopting a mom
My mom died when I was 13, but I have children of my own now so the day is always bittersweet. They'll make me something special for breakfast and lots of hugs and kisses I'm sure!0 -

GREAT idea!0 -
I had 4 moms to celebrate this year, My mom, My GrandMOM, and my mother in laws (yes 2 eh!). So I sent flowers to my MILs. and For my mom and Meme I bought them flowers, took them to dinner, got my Meme a cookie cake (for her birthday), and then picked an inexpensive gift for my mom a nightgown and bandana since next weekend they will be on a bike run and for my meme a potted plant. I also went to cardstore.com and shutterfly and made them personal cards with pictures of my kiddos and nice messages.
Now for myself I took my daughter and went to dinner and had pedicures! She just turned One so it was nice, because it was her first non-mommy given pedi!0 -

My grandmother, lives 2 states away... So the most, I could do is send flowers and call.
A huge step down from the things, I did for my mom.
And as for the idea of adopting, I don't think I want to this year, I agree it is a great idea. Just not this year kind of idea0 -
I'm gonna buy her flowers, take her out for the meal of her choice and spend the whole day just her and I 0

Mom, sister and I are going for pedicures and then burgers and beer. We need to plan our own partay since the men in our lives are totally *kitten* clueless.0

Will go flower shopping at my beloved greenhouse and pick up a beautiful basket or bush for my hubby's Auntie. Love her so much! a couple of years ago we spent the day making her a new flower garden just outside of her dinning room window. She spends so much time out in that little garden.
oh and i want to also add my Daughter took me to a concert this past Sunday. Was a great experience and one we will always remember! oh the singing and dancing. rock style (i'm still trying to catch up on my sleep;)0 -

Is this your first year without her? It's tough ((cheesy hugs))0 -
I will be calling other mom's to wish them a happy mother's day, since I can't wish my mother a happy mothers day. R.I.P Carla B. Smith!0

This will be my second Mother's Day without my mom. No grandmothers living and I don't have children. The adopting for the day is a sweet idea, but honestly, I'd rather just ignore the day as much as possible. It hurts too much otherwise.0

I have the same sadness around Father's Day.
Plant a tree or do something postivie that would make her proud. :flowerforyou:0 -
Well, I'm running a 10K that weekend and visiting my mother-in-law, but honestly, I'm not doing anything special for her.
Actually, I take that back. I'm bringing her granddaughter down to visit, driving 5.5 hours to do so, and putting up with her opinionated self for an entire weekend. That is a big enough sacrifice on my part for a whole year right there.0 -
Very sorry to hear about your mom
. I'm sure she's watching over you.
Unfortunately I'm cooked up in a lab this Mother's day!0
