What are your plans for Mother’s Day tomorrow?

[Ilovebeingamama]

My partner has to work tomorrow so we’re going to go out for breakfast with our 3 year old before he goes to work and then I’m going to meet my mum (with my 3 year old) and we’re going to get ice cream and go to the cinema. Then when we get home I am planning to decorate cupcakes/biscuits with my 3 year old and maybe do some painting/crafts too 😊

Cinema with DS tomorrow morning to go see The Wild Robot again, then off to visit my mum in hospital and the three of us will have cakes in the cafe. Then back home where DP is taking us out for dinner. Nothing fancy!

I have just received a flower delivery from my son 😁

I’m hoping for FaceTime with the three of them, and my baby grandson too.

Then I’ll take my favourite children out for a stroll 😉 🐾.

I have an MRI booked in the afternoon… on a Sunday!

nothing. DD is autistic and ADHD it will not have occurred to her to do anything.

Supposed to be going out for a meal to one of our favourite restaurants. Unfortunately DD has been throwing up all day so probably just gently feeding her water 🙄

I’m working from the afternoon onwards. Grown up DD is visiting her DF. I’ll text my DM in the morning but that’s about it.

My youngest is coming up in the morning. I really appreciate it as it is a 3 hour round journey and he is on nights. Had a lovely plant and a pot today from him.
I will likely receive a phone call from my other two and a text from my ex DiL. She lost her mum and sees me as a second mum. I feel very lucky to have them all.

Going to crematorium with flowers for my mum with DS and then he’s treating me to a costa.

We have plans for tomorrow but nothing special for Mothering Sunday. My in-laws will be arriving for a visit sometime in the afternoon and we’re having dinner with them at their hotel.
I’ll also be ferrying my adult offspring to and from their volunteer job. They would normally walk but are recovering from a sprained ankle.
I’ll ring my Mum, her card was posted on Wednesday and my sister has organised a gift from us.

Up, coffee, 30 minute walk, Asda collection, DS at Rugby so DH taking him while i have a get ready, then out for lunch before we drop DH at airport for his flight back to work. Then home, get everything sorted for Monday and relax.

I've already arranged flowers and presents for DM as won't see her tomorrow. We have arranged to go for coffee or lunch during the Easter Holidays when we have a longer period of time to enjoy.

We're going out for an early tea, kids are upstairs currently doing something secret with DH which is really lovely.

It's always bittersweet as my mum is no longer here and I miss her dreadfully, but DH and I (he has lost his dad) have an unspoken rule that we make a low key fuss of each other on MD and FD.

Will be up early to walk the dog before going to do the mid shift at work, hospitality, it's very busy tomorrow even by our standards and an all hands on deck kind of day. I have no idea what time I'll finish so it'll be home when I'm home and pop round my mum's Monday to drop her stuff off and see her for a bit.
I will probably just collapse in a heap when I get home.
DD is at university and may remember herself, or may be reminded in the family chat when my sister and I wish our mum Happy Mother's day in the morning!

My Dsis will be popping round to my mum's at some point as she's off and Dbro is off, but he won't have done/be planning on anything other than his usual him stuff.

DH cooking Lamb kleftiko for lunch - and has been busy upstairs this evening with DS9 and DD5, with a mad rush for papers cellotape and glue and felt pens …. All evidence has been removed. Later tickets to a women’s football game and and after sprogs gone to bed … a takeaway from DH. I’m really lucky to have them all.

Dd1's working, and has been today too, so dd2's been shopping. I'm expecting pj's and maybe a notebook. Although she did take my Waterstones card...so, we'll see!

I'll cook a roast at some point in the day, not sure what else yet.

Going out for breakfast with the mother in law, DH and DS2 then DS1 will pop round once we are back.
Then off out for a few drinks with my mum and dad. Pretty relaxed day.

Nothing special. My daughter lives 150 miles away but has sent a lovely bunch of tulips and we’ll speak on the phone. My own mother and my mother in law are no longer with us. If the weather’s nice I’ll do some gardening! No need for a fuss.

Hopefully getting breakfast in bed but DC2 is out drinking and DC1 is still at Uni so it’s not looking hopeful…

Will they call.or text you?

I'll open the Mothers Day card adult child has sent me. As they and their partner took me out for lunch on Friday and gave me a present, that's fine. Today they drove to partners Mums house about 250 miles away. At some point tomorrow, they will be back. We live together.

That's all fine with me. When your child gets a life partner, which a lot of us hope they do, that partner usually comes with a Mum. So we have to share. If the partnership comes with children, we share again. All good.

We're doing our usual family swim in the morning, DH will take DD1 to her dance class in the afternoon and I will take DD2 to a birthday party of a nursery classmate. Tbh I am a bit peeved that the party was scheduled for Mother's Day (the child's actual birthday was on Friday so they could have held it on Saturday). But it's only the second party she's been invited to so I want her to enjoy it.

How lovely 🥰

Pub lunch with DDs.

Intergenerational celebration! MIL has had a tough year with illness so she and my mum are both coming out to lunch with me and my DD. Mums get on well so it will be lovely.

A picnic on the beach! 🥶😂

That would be an amazing way to spend Mother’s Day welcoming a new baby safely earthside to celebrate Mothering Sunday with their mumma 💖
