What a neat site.  I have to go back and explore it more.  Chad bought DW a diamond and saphire ring.  I'm taking the kids camping this weekend and sending my mom and DW to a spa for the weekend.  Derek hasn't decided yet.  He says just getting rid of him for a weekend is gift enough.:yikes:

I get to go to two music events(Fri & Sat) and on Sunday my DH is taking me to Brunch.  My DD & DS are out of town and it's difficult for them to plan anything due to their work schedules, so I am sure I will get some phone calls that day.

Must be nice... wish I'd just get 1/2 that.

We're going camping for the first time this season, which means I'll be making breakfast Sunday morning for everyone (my parents will be campig with us) and then packing up camp before heading home, unloading everything and starting laundry.  Why would THIS Sunday be ANY different than any other Sunday!?

A few years ago I took my mom the the town here in WV where Anna Jarvis was born. If you are wondering she was the person who started Mothers Day.

At least campingboaters are camping for the whole weekend before having to go home on Mother's Day.

So true B-flat -- and this weekend is looking to be VERY pleasant, weather-wise.  I am the one that wanted to go camping this weekend -- knowing all that was involved.  My treat will be on Saturday when we take my parents to the Shady Maple Smorgasbord for dinner.  My parents really enjoy buffets and this is the grand-daddy of them all!  My husband keeps hinting at the idea of FINALLY doing something special for me, but I won't hold my breath on that.  In all of my 6 mother's days (actually being a mother), he hasn't done anything special.  A couple years ago, my mother and I spent mother's day washing and painting the walls in my bedroom!  LOL!  Heck, it's what I WANTED to do that day!

Actually, I tell my husband that Mother's day is JUST one day.  I'd rather he showed he cares all days of the year (just by helping me around the house) instead of doing something "special" just on one day.

I wish I could go camping but the dealer is jacking me around with getting my pu fixed and I have no clue what to get my mom, she has everything already!!!  I won't be happy or able to think until my pu is fixed :mad:
