Dammit...

...so my mom sent me a text this morning thanking me for the gorgeous flowers and wishing me a happy mother's day.
So I told her she better check with one of her other, better children because it wasn't me. Now I look like an asshole because in truth, I got her nothing.
NOW what do I send? She's 900 miles away and I love her but we're not that close. She tends to keep to herself. Sometimes we open up a bottle of wine and spend two hours on the phone, then six months goes by before I call her (she never calls me, or my sister either).
Grrr
I'm working a 12 hr shift tomorrow and don't feel like talking on the phone and just want to send a bottle of wine but now it's too late because I leave things like this until the last minute EVERY SINGLE TIME because I'm forgetful, sleepy, tired, and never think of things until 2 AM when I can't do anything about it.
Vent over! But for real... Edible Arrangement? She loves those. Bigger, better flowers? Wine club (already did that once actually) She wouldn't like a spa day or nails or makeup or anything really girly like that.

See if she has a pea nearby willing to deliver a bottle Actually my son moved back home (to our home town) and he could do that. I can't believe I forgot about him. Lol he's 21 and can even buy the wine.

Lol he's 21 and can even buy the wine. That's perfect. I was going to say Shari's Berries, but their website says they are sold out for 5/12 delivery.

I paypalled the little mercenary and it's all set. She doesn't know he's coming but I did confirm she'll be home all day.
And it was my sister that sent them. Now I'll one-up her. Lol

No help, but I'm imagining a world where my mom doesn't call me 7 times a day . . .

Perfect plan. I just spent 2 days with my parents while they recovered from surgery. My Mom is getting a phone call and a hanging tomato once it warms up. The weather has been awful, I don’t dare to buy a hanging basket yet.

I'm such a bad daughter. And mother too. Dammit again! Haha But you're a badass pea... so you've got that going for you. Exactly. I picked up a little plant at the grocery store this morning for dgd to give her mom because she has no partner to take care of these things. And dgd’s daycare didn’t even have them color a picture for their mom. I don’t really care if I get stuff for these ‘holidays’ I just like to be told that they love and appreciate me.
