A day of sweet, handmade cards, that my husband will force the kids to make. I know the only reason the kids will sit through it, is because they get to use the glue sticks! My hands will be sticky after the first card, I will then stick to all the other cards and accidentally pull off the tiny sparkly details, that will cause some kind of breakdown for sure. Then I will go vacuum under the table, where they made the cards the night before.
Breakfast in bed...more like, coffee on the couch.
I'll do a few loads of laundry, empty and refill the dishwasher, give the kids a nutritious breakfast of powdered donuts and juice. I'll take a nice long shower, most likely with a couple kids taking their morning poops in the bathroom with me. I will break up a few wrestling matches, clean up the house, and fight with the kids to get themselves dressed.
My husband is buying me an outdoor swing for my special day. Four kids, at Lowes, on a Sunday....I just can't wait! I will con my husband into getting me some flowers to plant in the yard, oh, and also picking up moms day flowers for my own mother. The rest of the day will be spent telling the kids about 80 times why we are not planting the flowers in the yard TODAY. We will visit Nana and Gramma. A few tantrums will break out (I call them nutties) when its time to leave. On the way home, the kids will ask, another 40 times if we can plant the flowers when we get home.
I will come home to a messy house and whiny kids and my husband leaving for work. I will clean up the house, get the kids washed up and off to bed. I will finally get to sit down with my computer and try to watch my reality show, I will have to pause it 3 or 4 times, because my daughter will keep getting out of bed to ask me if we can plant the flowers tomorrow.
Moms do not get a free pass, even on Mothers Day. So, enjoy your day of sticky hands, 1000 questions, and everything you normally do in a non-Mothers Day day. We are moms, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and we wouldn't have it any other way. Happy/Crappy Mothers Day to you!
