Anyone else on their own for Mothers' Day.

[MaryP0p1]

My DH has had to go to Italy this weekend leaving me on my own. To add insult to injury he's taken my Mother with him!!!!!!! (what's that all about?)

[Frizbe]

gwer? maybe they have a secret plan to whisk you off somewhere nice tomororw? {{hugs}}

[MaryP0p1]

No such luck. They are not flying back to England until Tuesday. My 6 yr old daughter has said she look after my 3yr old and make me breakfast in bed! I'm really scared but very touched so I bought her some cereal she can make me and give to me without 1. setting fire to the house 2. burning her or her brother 3. and/ or in some way shape or form damaging herself and her brother.

A few years ago I was on my own for mothers day, with DS who was about 3 at the time, Dp was away and my mum had gone off to florida! Me and DS watched a Muppets movie together and ate icecream, it was great!

[MaryP0p1]

I got myself a curry and cleared out the cupboards. Does that count

[MaryP0p1]

[lou33]

[MaryP0p1]

Hahahaha. I wish I could do that. I can do the drunk thing though. hmmmmmm

[lou33]

good idea

[MaryP0p1]

I might take them to Pizza hut or something for lunch tomorrow.

[lou33]

put them in front of nick junior and sleep through it

[MaryP0p1]

I've more or less done that today apart from dragging them out in the cold to look at a caravan. They were decidely unimpressed.

[lou33]

ah well they will know what to do then, problem sorted!

My dh is off to scotland in a couple of hours time, leaving me alone for mothers day (which also happens to be my birthday). I will miss him but I am really glad for him, too. So much more happy than sad.

The boys and I will rent a DVD (the third Harry Potter film, as I have never seen it and genuinely want to). We'll cuddle up under fleece blankets and watch the film this evening.

He is off on a weeks course to get the first part of his pest control officer qualifications. It might not sound very exciting, but I am so chuffed he is in a job he really likes and getting qualified in it. I am postponing my birthday treat till he comes back, but I have it all planned.

Also, I am looking forward to logging onto mumsnet whenever I like and for as long as I like in the evenings - a rarity!

ON my own every day but sometimes i think that is easier.... heading out to countryside with a flask of tomato soup and some bread rolls... just making me and dd some breakfast in bed! She's watching tele and I am reading.

[MunchedTooManyMarsLady]

Am alone until about lunchtime. Sunday League Football does not stop for mothers. Ah well....

My dh is away on the oil rigs. My 2 dss went to the shop on their own yesterday and chose my presents themselves which they got out of their pocket money. Trouble is ds2 got up at 6 to give me his, when normally on a Sunday he doesn't get up until at least 8.

[MaryP0p1]

My lie in my dd promised was until 7am. I was woken up with a bow of milk with the smallest amount of cereal you've ever seen and I'm sorry I spil the cereal. Bless her she can be so cute sometimes. Shortly after I had two bunches of flowers thrust in my face and bounced on. They've gone off to play now but it was very cute. They want to go out soon but I want to stay in bed. I think a trip to the park with the dog is about as far as I'm up to today.

[lou33]

I'm still in bed!

[TiredBunny]

Thats not fair - would love to be sat in bed reading my new book.
