Mother's day usually starts with breakfast in bed, with flowers from DH, he's very particular about that, followed by whole day of no cooking, cleaning, or doing any chores.
This mother's day after DH made breakfast, mt oldest daughter(15yrs old) surprised me with an invite to an early dinner she and her friend had arranged. The friend brought her mother, who happens to be one of my closest friends and the four of went to a mother-daughter dinner. Her friend's older sister watched my little munchins while DH took my 11 year old and son swimming at the gym.
We got to the restaurant about 4:30, early enough to beat the rush, enjoyed wonderful seafood platters and interesting conversations.
The first thing we heard from the fiften-year olds after we sat for a few minutes was..."there're no cute guys(waiters) here..." LOL, if they hadn't made us mothers choose the restaurant, I would've wondered about that.
Anyway, we had a chance to talk about mother-daughter stuff, catch up on what's happening at their school and had a wonderful time. The girls used all they monies to pay butI still wrote a check (had to pay for the takeout for the gang at home).
All in all, it was a wonderful, wonderful day. Sometimes these kids do the sweetest things ever.
Hope your day was fabulous.

Sounds like a lovely day, and yes, sometimes kids can do some sweet things.
I worked all day trying to finish a story to submit to True Romance for today's deadline!
We went to my youngest daughter's church, since her hubby works on Sundays and took her gift. Then later in the afternoon we ordered Italian and brought it home because I didn't want to waste two hours standing on line to get in...
Hopefully the editor will buy my story. Then giving up my day will be worth it.
