the church that she attends. Well, NOTHING was said about changing the time to accomodate us, sooooo I took my mom some roses yesterday, wished her a happy mom's day, and said sorry that we wouldn't be able to join 'em on Sunday.

Anyway... my son won't be coming home for Mom's day... which is fine. I'd rather he not deal with any weekend traffic on the roads. My husband has asked that I NOT mow or do yardwork tomorrow. Last year I mowed on mothers' day. It's what I enjoy doing. He knows that, but he's

worried that the neighbors will think he's a shlupp. LOL! I really think mothers' day is an over-rated crock anyway. I'm fortunate that my hubby and kids let me know that they appreciate me everyday... AND I do the same in return. We don't need a special "day" once a year to express our love and appreciation for someone. It's just turned into a huge money-making thing anyway. My family knows not to buy me a $3 card that has someone else's generic sentiment in it, or some expensive flowers. Wanna make me happy... do some laundry or vacuum! Trust me, my family WISHES I would be so easy as expecting flowers and a nice restaurant for dinner.

Janet, I love your kind of thinking, If my husband gets up and

says I Love You, lets get ready to go to church I feel I am blessed.

He is a great husband but does not think a lot of time about extra

gifts, which is fine aI have more than I need now. Yes we always go

to church, and I would rather go home ((I cook dinner before I go to

church) and eat instead of standing in line for 30 min to an hour

for a table. I think I am getting old, lazy , and cheap!!!! I am

not a lot on going out to eat anyway, would rather stay home and eat

a bowl of cereal. My youngest daughter is the only one of my three

active in church, and I tell her I would rather you go to your church

and try to miss and come to our house. Cause she has gotten active

in her church and her little boy also does a lot. I hope you have a

great time doing just what you like...even if it is waiting till

Mon. to mow the grass...LOL.. TOPS HUGS, Vernie

YES!! My day would be just wonderful if my son would just give me a hug and say "I love you mom" I don't need gifts or anything special - that would be special enough! It's the being ignored like I don't exist that bothers me

oh well.....someday he'll have kids....
