I don't plan to celebrate it this year. My mother had a hemorrhagic stroke last Monday, and passed on Friday. She would have been 81 on May 11. 🙁 My sincere condolences. The first holidays are rough.

I am sorry, moon/Laura. I know it is tough for you. My daughter surprised me by suggesting a Mother's Day breakfast today. Her brother is doing one tomorrow. It was great to see the kiddos although she also took me out to breakfast last month. For all that I love her, I hardly ever see them. It was nice to see them two months in a row. DH went, too. I am hoping retirement will mean I see more of both sets. I actually see my son and his kids more because of my DIL. I love her, too.

I got up, got dressed, drove myself 40 minutes round trip to pick up my order for a dozen scones. I’m enjoying one now with a nice, hot, cup of coffee from the comfort of my couch. I am alone today (DH still visiting DFIL and boys still at college) and, at the risk of sounding antisocial, I am LOVING it. I am totally spending the day the way *I* want on MY schedule. Think I have a new Mother’s Day tradition...😁

Happy Mother's day to all the mothers on this board and to all women in general. Humanity would not survive without you.

The pastor at our new church is AWESOME. I asked him how he planned to celebrate Mother's Day (to honor his wife), and he said he was going to do all of the laundry.

Not doing a damn thing. My mother is gone and DH's in a home with dementia. I did say something about taking him to see her but that would require him taking a shower which is a project in itself. Bleah. I'm just hoping it's not raining so I can work on my garden beds. Empress, how are you holding up? Doing micro gardening is helping me while I deal with my ridiculous seasonal allergies and lack of sleep. Dementia is hard.
