5 Things I Wouldn’t Mind Receiving this Mother’s Day
This might be slightly off topic, but not much. This year, Mother’s Day will be rather predictable. This isn’t a complaint. I love receiving things for my garden, and many times there are times I ask for them. The things I really want for mother’s day I’ve asked for or hinted for but don’t really get. That’s because in my husband’s eye they’re either frivolous (he’s not much into the impractical) or just not his idea of a gift. If I had my druthers, here’s how Mother’s Day would go.
- Sleep late without anyone waking me every five minutes to ask me where something is or how late I plan on sleeping.
- Have a nice breakfast without anyone leaving the dishes for me. (”But I cooked and let you sleep late…”)
- Not having to go to my Mother in Law’s house. (I’m actually putting my foot down on that one this year )
- A mani/pedi - This falls under the impractical category.
- A gift certificate for something I don’t need.
I love my family, so please don’t get me wrong. For the past 9 years we’ve spent all our efforts saving either to buy a house, have a family or renovate. It wouldn’t kill anyone to splurge on something unnecessary for a day.
I am somewhat treating myself though. I decided this year wouldn’t be about my Mother in Law and told my family I’m staying home to have a Mom’s Day by myself. And yes a pedicure and chick flick will be involved.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms! I hope your doing what you want…and maybe even something impractical.
