My Plans for Mother’s Day
My mom lives in another country. My husband has an invitation to attend the Players Championship PGA tournament in Florida. So I will be alone and I will have a free day to myself on Sunday, May 13.
Mother’s Day.
What does a temporarily single childfree woman do on Mother’s Day?
Answer: Whatever she likes.
A free day with no looming deadlines, no dinners to cook, no appointments, no commitments. What’s not to love about that?
Here are some possibilities:
Golf. Those desirable tee times will be easier to get. The Dads will be tied up treating Mom to lunch.
A date with Dr. McDreamy. A marathon of recorded Grey’s Anatomy episodes I’ve been too busy to watch.
Pulp fiction. A welcomed change from the usual nonfiction books and articles that make up my research.
Retail Therapy. The stores will be quiet and I can wind my cart leisurely through TJ Maxx looking for bargains. Or check out the new books at Barnes and Noble.
A long bath and pampering time. Time to dig out that pumice stone out and get my feet ready for sandals.
What will you be doing?

I'll be pampering myself, too... doing a little museum-ing... What country does your mother live in???
Cheers.
Laura -- It's Mc-Dreamy!
My Mom is out of state too. I sent a small token of my affection and a card that will make her laugh today.
As for my other Moms, My Special Mom (don't call her step-Mom), and my Adopted Mom, tokens are on their way. I wish I could have that moment back when my birth mother and my maternal grandmother were still here and living close enough to me to take them out to a proper Mother's Day Brunch at the El Encanto in Santa Barbara. They teased each other the whole time. I was miserable, as I thought it was my job to help them get along. I vowed to never do that again. Silly me.
Motherpie--My mom's in Canada. I'm in the States. We haven't had a mother's day together in over 17 years, sad but true.
Teri--Yes, Thanks, I'll make that change. I also spotted another typo.
