Mother's Day makes me want to cry, especially when I walk past the greeting card or gift displays, since my own mother died. She and I always loved to shop together, and I feel her presence in the dressing rooms as JC Penny's, etc. Silly? Sometimes I do shop for myself around this time and in my head I talk with her about how things fit and what looks good in the mirror. My own daughters sometimes do wonderful things, like the year they got together and bought me an iPod engraved with "Thanks for listening, your favorite four." Some years one might send a gift, another a card, or even an electronic greeting or a phone call. They are all very loving and all are mothers themselves to kids or dogs. Mostly I think the holiday is promoted by retailers to make a buck. Love is an everyday thing.

I love the crazy, odd stuff I get from the kids. But yep, you bet I buy gifts for myself. A package or packages will be delivered and DH will say what is that and I say it's my (pick one) birthday, Christmas, Valentine, Mother's Day, Anniversary, gift you bought me. He says I hope you like it. I have always bought and wrapped a gift to myself for Christmas and put under the tree. I like buying myself things I want.

Every birthday I buy myself a gift. I also stuff my own Christmas stocking . A few years ago hubby and I decided to try to "give less stuff" and instead "do more stuff" (things v experience). For Mothers Day we eat out and do an activity, which I choose or have input on. Last year our family saw MidSummer's Night Dream outside with dinner at the Botanical Garden. Thus year we are having brunch at an English pub and then going to the Art Museum.
