[QUOTE="Star*, post: 425000, member: 4964"] Well since my Mom has FOREVER wanted a Gardenia bush and lives in Ohio and can't have one? I found one on pro-flowers, used a coupon and ordered early! It's tiny - she can keep it inside and it's supposed to bloom once a year! I hope she likes it. As for me in my house? Well I got a little knot in my knickers last year - DF made that "Well you aren't MY Mother statement" and I thought "Okay" I see - so that stopped all the frivolity of Me having the dogs get HIM a Fathers day present. I didn't even say Happy Fathers Day to him, and it was a very odd day last year. When he made comment about it? I said 'Well you aren't MY Father' ,and walked off. I didn't get anything from Dude, don't expect to this year either. I'm just glad to have peace and quiet in my home. I do have an idea I thought I would run by you gals - Since it seems that it's a holiday where we should be remembered but we aren't? What if we just took $20 of our own money and got ourselves something anyway? I mean yea, it's supposed to be husbands and kids getting whatever - and a card - yadda yadda yadda. But instead of sitting around Sunday and not getting anything? What if we just cut out the middle man, took a cap of $20 or even $10 and had a pre-Mothers day outing for ourselves and got something for ourself BY ourself? Then Sunday night or Monday morning we have a post and it will say - So what did you get for Mothers Day and IF your kids DID do something - you can say that and if they didn't? You can say whAT YOU GOT YOURSELF? and not feel so left out? huh? WHATTA YA SAY? [/QUOTE]
