So today is Mother's Day and due to a last minute change of plans I'm off to see my mother to spend part of the day with her!
As a family we don't typically celebrate Mother's Day in part due to the fact we live across the world.
Anyway I thought I'd see what everyone is up to today and what treats have the mummies on here had!!

My mum went to see friends yesterday and stayed over because it's a long drive. She got back around an hour ago. I got her a massive box of chocolates and a card and she's driving me to town tomorrow for my eye test so I'll get her some flowers whilst we're out and treat her to lunch if we have time :)
Got my mum a little bead with waves on and a felted fairy resembling our family fairy Fred and I'm making her dinner later. She seemed to like it she's not a happy bunny today though so I'm just trying to cheer her up!
There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night.
My Mom lives in Wales so I can't really just pop round and see her, but I did spend just over a week with her recently so I gave her a card and big bunch of flowers while I was there, I called her this afternoon too :)
Came home for the weekend to see her. Bought her a card and Im taking her to the theatre. Also made her pancakes and then a roast today ^_^ x
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
I got my mum a card and a very bejewelled butterfly brooch. My brother and I also took her out for lunch, but unfortunately we had to complain about practically everything. It did make us laugh though.
Got my mother a card and flowers and took her out for a fancy lunch. Got my stepmum card, flowers and perfume and we've just had a nice dinner with my stepsiblings. It's been one long day!
The only time you will find real light is when you're searching in the dark..
I got my mum a card and an amazon voucher (which is what she wanted). She also got some flowers.
We also went out for the day, but had a terrible meal (they basically overcooked it, meaning it was burnt), though. We got a free round of drinks out of the pub as way of an apology.

Got her flowers in a mini watering can, which my Father paid for and card which I forgot to sign, so, my Father subsequently had to for me. I forgot all of it in the boot, so my Father once again had to give.
We bought our Mums some thorntons chocolates and ceramic pots with plants in. Our parents live next door but one to each other and have done since I was three...it makes visiting easy. It was lovely.
I sent my mother a card but had to choose one which wasn't all gushing. thing is, we don't always get on & there is too much bad history there for me to send one full of love. She's never really said many positive things to me & has never mentioned loving me.
Despite that I always make the effort. I rang her last Thursday as I am on holiday at the moment & didn't want to talk to her on Sunday. It would probably have ended up with her getting angry with me like usual & I didn't want to feel that way when I'm away for the weekend.
I do like hearing other people's happier stories as really all I ever wanted was to come from a family where there was love and good feelings in abundance. Nothing would make me happier than being able to choose a card saying I love you or that she's the best mum in the world. But I won't send cards with tuff in them I don't believe is true.
When I spoke to her she did like the card I sent. She said it was "different". She's getting old now & her mind is starting to go, by the end of the call she had forgotten it was Mothering Sunday at the weekend and also forgot we'd talked about the card.
I do remember when I was little that she was really lovely. I try to remember those good times but I feel so torn sometimes as I always hoped she would change back to being like that instead of being so distant, critical, unsupportive & moody.
Sorry if i sound at all negative But at least I do know what it is to feel your mothers love even if it was a long time ago.
