AnonyMouse_8623 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 To all the mothers out there........enjoy this special mothering sunday day. I lost my mum nearly five years ago and my mother-in-law passed away just last Christmas. I have lovely memories of my mum who scrimped and saved to give me and my sisters & brother the best childhood you can ever imagine. My lovely memories of this wonderful woman are what I think about all the time not just on days like today. But today is a celebration of mothering and we mustn't forget that those of us who are mums should be celebrated too. Go on.....give yourselves a huge pat on the back. We don't always get it right (lost the parenting manual years ago!!!) but we do try and sometimes it even works! Enjoy your day everyone, hopefully with your feet up and a bit of whatever you fancy being served all day. Me..........I've got an assignment to finish and in the post tomorrow.......oh joy!!!!

Guest Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I'm putting it on the back burner this year as its my daughters 12th Birthday and its not fair to take the shine off for her.The last time it was Mothering Suday on her birthday its was her 1st birthday and she was Christened in the morning service-so many special memoires of my baby.However my elder daughter has brought me a cup of coffee and a bacon sandwich while I'm at the PC WITHOUT any prompting She's also fished a birthday card out of my stash and altered the wording as she'd not bought a card. I've told her that it means more thats she's thought about the wording and altered it to say what she wants to say than buying one I hope its a stress free day to all mothers out there.

AnonyMouse_2732 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Yes, I'll join with you in wishing all mums a special day. Biccy - I finished my due assignment yesterday, so I can relax with a clear conscience but good luck, anyway! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Have a lovely day everyone. Thank you for sharing your lovely memories and thoughts with us dublinbay. I saw my 94 year old mum yesterday and we took flowers and cards. Today I am feeding my family after they come and help put up a new fence. Apparently I'm scarifying the lawn whilst the heavy work gets done! Church this morning though, so I'll be given some daffodils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 My son also christened on Mothering Sunday... so a memorable day and is coming home this evening .. luck.... not judged timing I might add.. (his location depends on his work) Me? I'm taking my car to the garage to have brakes done!! Have a good day everyone and enjoy Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Me? I'm taking my car to the garage to have brakes done!! made me smile Inge It's glamourous being a mother isn't it !!! Apparently I'm scarifying the lawn whilst the heavy work gets done! That's REALLY hard work I'd suggest you hold the post while the cement sets and then you can overview the work if I was you Edited March 22, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've just been given 2 boxes of chocolates, because he couldnt remember which ones I liked best, some flowers and a most unexpected hug. That made me smile most. I really feel for Jade Goody's family, today of all days. Have a happy day everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 One of my daughters is at uni, the other one on holiday with friends, mother-in-law has decided to go out with some neighbours for lunch, so I'm just cooking a nice roast for me, my mum and hubby. Not the best mothering Sunday, but I'll feel happier after a couple of phone call...hopefully sometime before night falls Happy Mothering Sunday to all. jackie.

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Yes also for Jade, there has to be empathy for her boys who will remember on every Mothering Sunday from now on that they lost her today - of all days. So they get a double whammy, 22nd March every year, and Mothering Sunday. Don't forget to watch the mom song today MOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I will be spending my Mothers Day lunch with my son, mum and dad and then after lunch we are going up to the hospital to see Martin. Have bought her a big bunch of flowers which she will tut at and say "What did you do that for?? You shouldn't have wasted your money!!" but she says that every year and then takes ages arranging the flowers and puts them where everyone can see them!! Martin rang me this morning just before 9am to wish me a Happy Mothers Day and apologised for not getting me a card from James! Told him not to worry as James had made me one in school, which I got yesterday as he couldnt hang on to it any longer! And then as I am reading through these posts James came over and gave me a hug and a kiss and said they were to give to my mum and then gave me another big hug and kiss and said that they were for me and that I wasn't allowed to give them to anybody else. He also said that these hugs were from "A wee something from your precious wee son"!! Nothing like blowing your own trumpet!! I have been thinking about Jade Goody this morning and my heart goes out to her boys. I also think about her mum, loosing her daughter on Mothers Day. As Cait has said it will be always be another painful reminder of someone who they loved and lost. My sister-in-law buried her own mum on Mothers Day six years ago and today is a day when I think about her as well. As she became a mother herself just over a year ago, I know that some of the pain and hurt that this day brings to her, is now mingled with the joy she now feels being a mum herself. Anyway to all you mums out there, have a great day whatever you are all doing! Oh and here's some love :wacko: :rolleyes: :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 well I had my phone calls, and my youngest one asked me if I'd open a package that had come for her from kodak to check it was ok. When I opened it it was a book which said happy mother's day with a photo of me! She'd had a book made with photos of the four of us. A lovely surprise and something I'll keep forever, along with all the other things they have made over the years. Don't you just love your kids, jackie.

AnonyMouse_19920 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 happy mothers day to everyone and especially mundia the granny to be. i lost my mum just over a year ago and it is a very hard day - last year i think i was still in shock on this day as it was so unexpected - but this year is more poignant - i am taking daffodils to her grave later - they were always her favourite and she loved it when she saw the first ones. anyway - have a lovely day everyone - make the most of any cossetting you get - it will be back to normal tomorrow.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 my 16 year old son promised me breakfast in bed but at 12.45 he had still not got up!!!!I took him a drink up at 1.00 and he said oh i was just going to make you one mum!! I eventually got my breakfast/lunch at 1.30( sausage that was quite pink in the middle,scrambled eggs with shell added for extra taste and burnt bacon)But of course its the thought that counts and i got a card and chocolates which he proudly told me he had got for half price!!!

Guest MaryEMac Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday. My daughter bought me flowers, a lovely bone china mug and a trowel and fork with handles painted with flowers. My husband took me out for the afternoon and we stopped at my son's on way back. They gave me a moth orchid and a garden radio (it's a gnome pushing a wheelbarrow). I bathed my granddaughter and then we cuddled up on the sofa and she was all warm and cuddly. The best present was when we got home, my lovely daughter had hoovered,dusted, tidied and washed floors in all downstairs rooms. When I told her that it was the best present she said " I could have saved my money!". Congratulations Mundia (and to your daughter).

AnonyMouse_3735 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 our son arrived here with a smile and a happy face.. as always pleased to see us.. got chocolates today he has been away at work ? reason or excuse? ( but don't tell him i don't like chocolate.. even worse with flowers though .. hay fever !) tonight I went to go to bed only to find him and his dad in our bed watching a dvd perhaps it is called male bonding... oh well I have more contact via Skype than his dad does and dad has been in Hosp. so will wait for a while before ejecting son from my bed! back to chick flick for a while.. oh and those mice... inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
