What are YOU getting for Mother's Day?

Heyyyy, that's what I bought my mom today! She LOVES to cook, always has. She just had her kitchen remodeled and I figured she needed some professional cookware, LOL.

Since my hubby is still gone on his deployment, I am going shopping for myself(kids are too young to shop by themselves). I think I'm going to buy that 'bator!!

I am in the same situation. This is my first year without anyone to call or send a card or flowers to. It is going to be a sad Mother's Day for sure.

But I plan to get some balloons and write names of people gone on them and let them go.

Oh, Terrie, I know how you are feeling.

The first year after my mother passed away, I stood in the Hallmark store and cried over every card. Since my son passed away 2 years ago right before Mother's Day and my birthday, it hasn't been the same since. It's hard to celebrate even with my other two kids and their families. I have to hide my feelings so I don't make the day too bad.

I got my mom a painting from a fine art gallery. The artist is Andy Reed and he does these nice landscape paintings. I hope she likes it!

Here is the painting from Perry Nicole Fine Art

DH and I went and picked up my combo Mother's Day/Birthday gift last night.

I've been wanting a female GSD ever since we got Rex 5 years ago. Since Sunday is also my birthday DH kept asking me what I wanted and this was it. She's 8 weeks old, already has the look of intelligence/age/wisdom, and we named her Scarlett.

BUT :| :| :| you are a mom you have lots of two and four legged children. Motherhood doesn't have to be for human babies only. I'm sure if you talk to your girls they will love to spend plenty of time with Sunday, laying on the ground, sitting in a swing. Always a momie in us somewhere wether they are blood or not. They are still our babies.

I am crying sitting at my desk at work. I miss my son as well. I got to get away from this. I am the only one here and I don't think it would look right for me to crying when people walk in. Good luck with Sunday remember the good things. Aimie

I would like a sunny day, temp about 80* no chores, just hang out in my yard tend to critters and flower beds, take lots of breaks, basically do whatever I feel like that day.

But I will go to the grave of my mom and plant a special flower.

Ruth - CUTE PUPPY! Good luck with her.

I'm not a mommie to any human babies but I have my four legged baby Pandora (my dog). She got me a present, well I bought them and they just happen to show up the week after mothers day so I'll say they are from her. Two new Sebastopol Geese babies. Yay. (Thanks to Broke Down Ranch, who started this thread)

My mom gets to come up and visit me the next weekend so mothers day will be celebrated a bit late around my house. She will hopefully be getting a wooden bowl made out of a burrow off a tree (The guy I'm dating will be making it for me if he has time), and I got this idea from a friend, some kind of jar with memories I have with my mom written on nice paper. I just have to get the paper and a jar still. Since moving to a different state I don't get to see my parents as much so I'm glad my mom can come visit since I couldn't get off of work to go see her for Mothers day.

I hope you all have a great Mothers Day and get to spend time with the ones you love!!!

I'm in this club too. My mother and grandmother are both gone, so is my brother, so there is no one really to talk about them with.
I do have kids, but they are still very little, 5 and 2.5. To me not having someone to honor basically makes the holiday pretty crummy.
