I suck at Mothers Day. I admit it.
So this year I am going to try to make up for all the crappy cards and simple phone calls of the past. My dad and I are going to buy my mom a truck full of mulch. Not exactly what most people think of getting their moms for this particular day, but it is something I know she really really wants but would never buy herself. I think that this kind of gift is the best, something the person either really wants or will use all the time but they they don't think they can afford or think they don't really need it that bad.
I am also cleaning the whole entire house, hopefully with the help of my dad and brother but I doubt it somehow. My mom is out of town for the weekend, so I am using the opportunity to take two days to clean and air out the house for spring. I am also hoping to get all of the stuff on her to do list done for her before she gets back sunday night.
I won't really see her much on Mothers day because she is getting back around the time I start my first overnight. It kinda sucks that it ended up that way but now the big paychecks start and the real saving and readying myself. I emailed the email I got in response to my questions to James and we will see if the answers I got are good enough or if I am going to have to march into the offices and throw a hissy fit like a two year old to get some attention and real answers.
