What do YOU hope to get on Mother's Day?

Well I got my best gift last night. My older DD (who goes to college 8.5 hours away) surprised me by coming home for the weekend. I had no clue she was coming (although hubby & her sister were in on it).

I like things like Amazon GCs for books, chocolate covered strawberries, lunch out with the family. My girls are taking me tomorrow for lunch and pedicures.

Honestly, my BEST gift usually from hubby and the kids is that on Mother's Day I do no cooking, no cleaning, I can just sit and relax, read, spend time with them.

A relaxing day AND a successful day for my dd and my dog

We are camping and doing a dog show Saturday and Sunday. But we are only doing one class a day at the show. So we will be there less than an hour each day. We are camping a couple blocks from the show site which is our RV park.

Dh already gave me my Mothers Day gift. A lovely new cat litter box   Don't be jealous, you know you all want one too 

I need to get back to making my list

I used to ask for my perfume for Christmas and Mother's Day. That worked well.

If you put your mind to it, the list is endless for 'smaller items' especially if you want a Mother's Day gift you will actually use - what foundation/make-up do you use? Do you read a lot of Kindle books? Is there a range of make up you use currently doing a give-away with purchase? Gift certificate for a manicure/tyre change/colonic??? Drink at Starbucks, eat Krispy Kremes have a blow out at BK? FGS, you can ask for anything and they just want to give you something!

ETA I don't know what your idea of 'small' is!! For all I know, small is a Mercedes instead of a Ferrari!! 

I asked for a pair of pink Converse All Stars!

I'm asking for a pedicure gift card that will get me through the summer. :-) I like receiving orchids vs. cut flowers. I like beaded bracelets and earrings which for kids can be found inexpensively. Another thought is for a flowering tree for the backyard.

DH gave me an Apple Watch today. We have brunch reservations for us, the kids, and my parents on Sunday, and are headed to a garden store afterwards to shop for more containers and plants for the porches.

My younger son is taking me out to a late lunch. To a place that has free dinners for moms that just happens to be HIS favorite place to eat.

But it is the thought that counts and he is 17 so I am going with a wide open happy smile that he actually wants to spend time with me and that is all I really want anyway. That and for him to mow the yard.

Sleep- all I want is sleep

A day home alone or left alone so I can do whatever the he$@ I please, in my pajamas and slippers and eat what I want when I want.

We always go out to brunch. As for a gift, I ask dh and the kids to re-plant the annuals in three planters we have flanking our garage. I love the look, but don't like gardening at all. Sometimes they plant on their own and sometimes they hire it out. Either way I end up happy every time I pull into our driveway. :-)

To go to bed on Saturday with the bedroom window shades ALL the way down, and then to be left alone when the sun comes up NOT shining right in my face on Sunday morning!

That, and Lego. The Disney Minifigures just came out and I would love a whole set of them. Since I know DH won't take DD to the store to buy that, I bought myself the Lego Dimensions video game and hid it in the closet in case they don't get me anything which sometimes happens. 

I asked for a bird feeder and also to go get plants at the flea market. They are so much cheaper there, lol!

I also want to get sushi and have a relaxing day. My friend gave me some chairs from her crawl space that kind of match 2 other ones we got at the flea market. The ones from the flea market have been redone and reupholstered by me and came out great. The table my DH and I redid and it ended up just the way we were envisioning. So I want to get 2 more of the chairs done this weekend if the weather cooperates
