...But I actually have NOTHING to complain/be wounded about re: Mother's Day. Au contraire, in fact! At the risk of sounding smug and making you all delete me from your feeders, my husband is SO nice!
Reason the first: Did in fact remember that it was Mother's Day. Even this is deserving of points.
Reason the second: Made breakfast. Involving bacon, so, score!
Reason the third: Made two cards, one from kids, which included a gift certificate for a massage, and one from him including a gift card. A gift card specifically designated for a bathing suit, which I had been randomly complaining about needing but had NOT asked for and did not expect.
Reason the fourth: Both cards had funny little POEMS in them, which I loved.
Reason the fifth: (BIG reason here) Remembered weeks in advance that our anniversary is this Thursday. Arranged for babysitting and a night away this Friday. Like, OVERNIGHT. A date that lasts for TWO SOLID DAYS. That I did not have to plan for. Again. REMEMBERED ANNIVERSARY without prompting.
Everyone sufficiently impressed?
Now, I realize I am greatly veering from my usual format of moaning and kvetching here. I'll try to sound bitter and ungrateful again next post, I promise.
Why yes, I do have my hands full, thanks for noticing.

Wow! Way to go, Jim!
I'm thinking a little husband-swapping may be in order.
I am TOTALLY impressed.
WOW! He definitely wins some type of award!
See - When life throws a big pile of crap at you for a while, there is always some cheer waiting around the corner. I'm glad you had a nice mother's day!
This is awesome! What a winner! Your two-day date is going to be GREAT.
Am I insane or does your template keep changing?
Anyway, impressive show, husband.
I am thoroughly impressed, what a great husband! Sounds like just the thing(s) you needed :)
Holy crap. I am WAY impressed!
Man.....Adam got he a garden hoe and a Michael Bolton CD.....I kid you not.......I will explain later......
Jim rocks!!!
Good job, husband! Bonus points for the bacon.
Wow, very impressed over here. You deserve it!
WOW. So jealous of a full night away!
Have a great time and relish your fine, fine husband!
You definitely deserved a good one this year!!!
Wow. Good Job hubby!! I can't wait to hear about your trip.
Major points! My day did not measure up to this... not even close!
Great job Jim!!!
Well, can you find someting to complain about now? I need company.
Sounds like an excellent Mother's Day and many points for the husband.
Sarah dear, you won my contest! YAY! But I don't have your email address. Can you email me? erica @ andnoplacetogo . com
Kind of hate you right now. I was just impressed that my husband got me a card. That's a lot for him.
I think my husband gets a bit of a pass as I am not a real mother... just a step-mother. Despite that, I managed to get Chinese take-out at his suggestion.
This is indeed an improvement as he generally does absolutely nothing for anything but Christmas and now my birthday as I burst into tears the first year together because I received nothing from him.
What a great hubby!! Glad your day(s) were so wonderful!!!
How sweet. I only have one question. Does your husband have an equally sweet brother that is single and would consider relocating to another state to meet a woman who has two children?
He is a VERY thoughtful guy! I also got breakfast in bed. It's awesome, even if only once a year.
