You heard me!

Do something nice for the woman that pushed you out naked and screaming into the wild blue.

Had lunch with one of my mothers yesterday, dinner with the mother of my children yesterday evening. Will be on the phone with the of my mothers tonight.

To the rest of you.... YOU HEARD THE MAN!

That's a sensible request.

I hear other people jumping through hoops and going "Oh no, Mother's Day is coming and I'm not ready!" Then ask "What are you doing for Mother's Day?"
"Well, I've got her number on my phone and I know how to call it."

If I called her now and woke her up on her day off, it would be the worst present. I have to wait a little while!

I'm exceptionally ill, and have come down with a very nasty cold all of a sudden. I brought my mother chocolates and my sick self for her to mother.

I called my mom, and of course, for her present she was all like "why'd you do that, you shouldn't have done anything!" just like every single time :p

I called her, said Happy Mother's Day, she said thank you, and then the phone went dead.

I have fulfilled my duty!

I gave my mom some books. I haven't called her yet because it isn't even 10 am yet.

I planned on calling my mom 2 hours ago.

But I've been stuck on a conference call at work for the last THREE hours, on an issue that I'm only tangentially involved in and for which I can provide no useful insight or solutions to their problems. So, I suppose I'll call her when they figure something out and I can hang up.

Thank god I get paid by the hour at this gig.

Can you still bill for all of the T&M if you mute them for a few minutes to make that call?

1. She's at work right now.

2. I already sent her cards, one from us and one from the kids. I also sent $50 to my dad so he could get her something from us rather than buying her yet another gift card. It's not like I can just go to one of her favorite local restaurants or the salon she goes to and buy her a gift certificate. She has allergies, so flowers are not a good idea.

3. I sent my mother-in-law cards, too. And had 2 fresh pineapples sent to her from Dole. I wanted to do something different for her and she loves fresh fruits.


I, on the other hand, got a handmade card from my son. I also got a Wii Fit balance board :)

I called the cemetery but they refused to give her the phone. Something about being "permanently indisposed".

I called my mother "asshole" like you said, and she hung up on me.

I haven't called my mother, mostly 'cause I'll go see her in a bit.


I have called all of yours though. We have our typical Friday night dinner/movie/bang date set up. It's nothing special but it gets all of your mothers out of the house and gets me laid (again by all your mothers) so it's still nice.

I just did.

The call ended with me hearing that my washing machine was done, prompting the following discussion:

Me: Gotta go Mom, the washing's done, gotta go hang up some underwear.
Mom: Have you already set the washing lines on the balcony? (during winter I have to let my clothes dry indoors)
Me: No, not yet. Plus I'd rather not put my underwear out to dry on the balcony, you know, outta courtesy to the people who live across me. (There's a rather narrow gap between my balcony and those of the adjacent block of flats)
Mom: So? It's not like they're going to see. And if somebody enjoys seeing underwear dry, let 'em.
Me: ... Mom? Ewwww.

Gotta say I love her to bits, though... and it's kinda funny how my mom, just about the most proper Baby Boomer generation working wife/mother of three, still manages to catch me offguard sometimes.

Hyvää äitienpäivää...

I called my mom and my grandma. My grandma doesn't really remember her English anymore, but she likes hearing from family regardless.

I cooked mom some fish tacos and pinto beans. My sister made a cobbler. We swam all day. She's been caring for her two sick parents day and night. But today, they both shooed her out and told her they didn't want to see her til tomorrow afternoon. She looks rested. I'm glad. :)

Ninja-purchased cards for my wife from myself and my daughter last night, despite having the busiest day in recent memory, pre-bought her some flowers, sent cards from us and our daughter to my mother a week ago... got it covered.

I misread this at first and thought that you had sent flowers and a card to your mother back in time, and I was like man I gotta learn how to collapse that waveform.

I did my part by getting my mother a copy of the latest Harry Potter DVD, plus showing her Jack Sparrow because she's a big Pirates of the Caribbean/Michael Bolton fan. She was delighted by the former and pronounced the latter 'cute' (because of the 'faces the young guys used') but 'shitty' because of all the language. :-P

I got to video chat with my mom. I think that was about the best present I could get a woman, who doesn't get to see her eldest son more than 15 days a year.

Sorry to hear that :( She was close to the family and I was officiating. It was rough, but we manage to get through it.

Sorry Chibs and MindDetective, that's really rough.

Talked to my mom on Mother's day on the phone and spent the afternoon hanging out with my fiancee's family for Mother's Day/ birthday for her mom. Not a bad day all-in-all. Got some fan-fucking-tastic BBQ out of it.

My Mom is so cool. She went back home today while I was at werk. I get home to find a 12pack of Shiner Bock in the fridge with a note, Thanking me for the good Mother's Day and the brisket.

For mother's day, I told my mom I got married.

For mother's day, my sister transformed her car into a wreck.

My poor mom :/.

I got a very happy call from my parents yesterday. The place they were planning to go for dinner on Mother's Day had a line going out the door. She was starving after working at the store by herself all day and told Dad she didn't care where they went. He took her to one of their favorite gourmet places despite not being dressed for it. The $50 I sent covered her lobster tail dinner and drinks. Both of them had a great time, an exceptional meal, and there was barely anyone at the restaurant so they were seated and served quickly. WIN!

I tried to call my a few times on Mother's Day, but her phone didn't even ring! It must have been off because it went straight to voicemail. WTF lame mom. >.< Worked until 6, got home to pick up Mike and we hung out with some of his family for a bit. <3

My mom's an oddball, too. We can't buy her gifts because she re-gifts anything you buy her. Even if it's something she likes, it ends up being re-gifted.
For example... one year we bought her $50 for InSpa. She was excited, but then 2 months later, "Oh, that spa gift certificate, it was Ling's (aunt) birthday and I didn't have a present so I gave it to her to use. I wouldn't have had time anyway, don't buy me anything."
Another year, she actually wanted a nice bluetooth, so that's what she got. But right after she received it (this was on Christmas), she gave it to grandma instead and said she'd buy a cheap one for herself later. >.>...
Flowers go unappreciated for the most part, cards are usually kept, but she just doesn't care for gifts. :-/

I hate, hate, HATE people like that. I bought the gift for YOU not your great Aunt Sally! Don't be so unappreciative.

Those same people are usually the same ones that will complain or sigh when they don't get anything.

No offence to your mom..I'm just thinking about my grandmother. ^^;;


#54

She does that too, "my kids didn't get me anything!" Not so much in a whiney way, just jokingly for the most part. She's silly and awesome, but we just can't buy her things. Although sometimes she asks for an occasional Groupon! But only if she needs a second one because she bought one already...
