5 Mothers day gifts that I want for myself

Mothers day is coming! I always talk about my mom and how I celebrate mothers day without one but this year I am turning over a new leaf. I am going to talk about how I plan on celebrating myself. First, let me tell you the story about how I became a mother.

It was a sex-filled afternoon….ok I won’t go into those details but I will say that it took me a while to get pregnant. We weren’t using anything but I didn’t get pregnant for a whole year after we got married. I thought it had something to do with the miscarriage I had previously (will talk about that in another post). We weren’t getting pregnant and my hubs mom told my hubs to tell me to put my legs up in the air and hold it there after sex for about 10 min. Thinking that she was joking I did it and low and behold boom I got pregnant. We knew we were having a boy and I was so excited because what would I do with a girl (yes I have one we will save that story too). My son was supposed to be born on May 26th…he didn’t come. We waited and waited…the doctors weren’t concerned at all. As a matter of fact, they didn’t have a lot of concern which concerned me. On June 4th my mom who had to hire someone to take care of my grandmother at the time because she had Alzheimer’s was like ok we gotta speed this along. She told me to go to the emergency room and tell them that I am way overdue and be dramatic. I’ve always wanted to be an actress so I went around 4 pm that afternoon. I left the hubs home playing video games again…no one is concerned about me having this child. He said to call him when I get to the hospital. I drove myself (it was up the street) and I put on my actress’ face. The nurse probably knew nothing was up but admitted me and said ok let’s go ahead and have this baby. They broke my water, I called the hubs, and then…..nothing. Let me back up I had a Dr. appt on the 6th but my mom said I wasn’t going to have a devil baby (666 6-6-2006) so that’s why I went in on the 4th. Anywhoo….found out my cervix was narrow so they had to do a C-Section. He was born on June 5th, 2006 at 5:15 am in the morning. I was a young and hip mama so I had a c-section that Tuesday and I was out of town to Charlotte that Friday evening. Yeah……we won’t talk about that. This Mothers day I want to celebrate myself by telling you all what I truly want for Mothers Day. I am going to put it out there in the atmosphere.

Mothers day gifts for me

Candles

I want this candle.

I call these dem ole expensive ass candles. I don’t know how to pronounce the name but I want it because I love candles

Photography one on one session

I would love to take a photography class one that is hands on. I love creative live but I learn better when someone is teaching me what I need to know. I love Mecca so this would be a great mothers day gift to myself but again I can’t afford it so Youtube, Pinterest, and trial and error.

A chef

Someone to come and cook for me. I don’t need this just on Mothers Day I need this year round. Why hasn’t anyone come up with a service that hires folks who love to cook to come to your house and cook for you. I don’t want to pick up a plate either I want special services because I want something different daily. I also don’t want any gourmet meals I want some good ole fashion home cooked meals. This is the only service I saw in the Atlanta area. I know they don’t come to my country parts but it would be nice if someone started this near me.

I would like to have a brunch for women who have lost moms

I know this is a bit different but I would like to host a get together for those of us who have moms in heaven now. This would be a way for us to hang together, talk, laugh, share stories, and just celebrate the women that our mothers have raised in a refreshing new way. I might make that happen in the near future. Since I probably won’t do it this year I did something else for us. I created a shirt that we can wear to celebrate our moms.

Last but not least I would love…..

Someone to wash and detail my car.

Lawd geesus if y’all saw the inside of my car…you all would wonder about my sanity. I can never keep the inside clean and the only time the outside gets cleaned is when it rains. I would love for someone to just come and detail it for me.

Those are just some of the gifts I would love to have this year. Last year one of my friends gifted me a beautiful rose gold charm bracelet from Jared’s that I absolutely love. It has all the mothers day stuff on it with the charms including both of my kids birthstones. It holds a special place in my heart and I wear it often. Gifts from the heart mean more to me than flowers, a dinner out, or something that I can’t utilize in the future. The year the hubs died my uncle gifted me cleaning services which he said he would pay for until he passes away. That is what I call a gift that keeps on giving. So what do you want this mothers day? Spill it in the comments!
