Whatcha got going on?
Tomorrow mama sleeps in, I handle the kid chaos. Breakfast of her choosing. Gift card to the local spa, random kid selected gifts to follow, bought but yet to be wrapped. She wants to get her zinnias in the ground and spend the day outside not doing housework. Mimosas and Taylor Swift are a given. Pinot and records for our evening in house date.
My ex is spending the day in DC with my sons for Mother's Day and his birthday (Tuesday). I collaborated with my kids and she wants to go to a local landmark Italian place in Georgetown, so I booked them a reservation and paid for the dinner. Gotta remember to call the manager at noon and give him my payment info.
My mother in law invited us to a Mother's day brunch at a snooty country resort with a few family members and we've yet to tell them we're not going. I'm sure she won't mind and will also mind if/when we decline.
I'll be calling my mother in Canada for a cursory Mother's Day chat and facetime with the kids. We've not been on good terms for the last few years as her boundary issues have become harder to navigate peacefully. We just pretend the issues aren't there during the few times a year we do communicate.
How's your Mother's Day shaping up?
The devil made me do it the first time, second time I done it on my own - W
