What do you really want for Mother's Day?
I would love my husband to take me away for the weekend (without the kids :-) Don't necessarily care where - just away from the pressures of being a WAHM. What I need is a break from being a "mommy" if only for a short time.
I really want for ALL of my children to get along with one another and stop picking and hurting each others feeling. Yes, maybe this is a dream, but it is MINE!! My children are ages 24, 20, 14, 13, 12 and 7 as well as a 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. All live at home with us.
I want Super Dad to take the children away and leave me alone in the house for at least 6 hours. In this time I plan to finish all the work before it is due, rather than having to call the client for "another day," or staying up late (after 1 AM) to finish a project!! I want all the toys picked up and put away, and all the outgrown ones put in a box to be given away. I want a CLEAN bathroom, one with fresh towels and no stuck toothpaste all over the sink area. I want all the cobwebs cleaned out of my office, the living spiders can stay, they eat the scary little buggies in my basement office. I want the kids clothes switched over for the summer, as well as the old or outgrown ones packed up. I want 30 minutes ALONE with my husband for uninterrupted......talking??!!! But, if I only had ONE WISH, I want my husband to walk in my shoes for 24 hours. And I want to watch!!!!!
What I would love more than anything else in the world is for someone else to do the laundry, clean the kitchen, mop the floors, clean the living room, both bathrooms, fix dinner and then actually clean up the dinner dishes - all for Mother's Day weekend! Oohh, so wonderful!
Coincidentally, we're going away this weekend to visit our friends in another state. So, I'll have everything I could want for Mother's Day: I'll be with my family, I won't be able to work, I'll be seeing friends whom I haven't seen in a few years, and I'll be getting some sleep -- something I've been doing without for too long!
I would love a day to myself, just read the paper, drink my coffee, take a long hot bubble bath and then a wonderful dinner at night with my husband. I know it sounds selfish but 364 days of the year I am anything but selfish.
I want to spend the day with my 82 year old mom and my 6 year old daughter and her father. Then, the following weekend, I want to check into a hotel completely alone without anyone knowing where I am. "Don't call me, I'll call you guys."
For each member of my family to pick up their stuff throughout the house and put it away. If that would happen, my house would be so nice looking but it never happens. I would also like for my dishes to be washed by someone else than me on Mother's Day. No hope of that happening!!!
A hammock, a marqurita, and a good book. Then supper by candlelight with my loving hubby, 3 GREAT kids, one super future son-in-law, the best grandson in the world, one GREAT mom, and the brother I love best in the world !
I would like to spend the day (or better yet a week) at a secluded condo on the beach with no phones, no clocks, and no schedules.
I R E A L L Y W A N T :
My 13 year old son to turn into a 4 year old "snuggle-bug" again.
I want to walk in his room
to wish him sweet dreams
and I want him to say:
"Mom, will you snuggle
and hold onto
me just one more time."
This Mother's Day is sad for me
because my only child is:
*TALLER THAN I AM
*SMARTER IN MATH THAN I AM
*GROOVIER THAN I AM
Most of all, he isn't my
little "snuggle-bug" anymore.
It's so hard to let go.
How do birds make it look so easy
to nudge their little ones out
of their secure nest, to soar into
the dangers of the world?
I guess I'm not very good
at being a bird.
But, I know I am good at
being a good Mom.
What I really want for Mother's day is for my husband to clean the whole house, do all the laundry, and cook and wash all the dishes, just for one day.
I don't want a fishing pole, or anything sugary, or anything last minute. I'd really just love to sleep in, eat food somebody else cooked, and not have to pour one cup of juice or change a diaper all day! I'd like all the glamour of motherhood but none of the grime for one day. Ya right!
Undivided attention and hours long hugs.
I want to take a long bath with NOBODY knocking on the door.
I want to clean the house and have it stay that way for more than 30 minutes.
I want to watch the TV show I want without someone coming in half way thru and asking you to explain what is going on.
And for just one day, I want my kids to come up and hug me for no reason - they think they are too old for that stuff (but I'm not).
I would love for my husband to make me breakfast in bed and sit with me and talk about stuff and give me a little attention.
To finally find my niche in this wild and crazy world where both parents have to work in order to keep their heads above water. I have so much energy to give and just don't know where to direct it to make money FAST and still keep my sanity - we are financially sinking...HELP!!!
To spend some time quailty time with my husband when our children go to bed real early! :)
