9 Things I Really Want for Mother’s Day

by: NickMoms.com

Breakfast in bed? Sure. Homemade card? Cute. But let’s be clear about what we really want:

9. One hour of solitude. Everyone. Out of the house.
8. A new pair of shoes. Filled with cash. And diamonds. And gift certificates for more shoes.
7. Uninterrupted sleep. Even if the house is burning down.
6. A clean shirt. That means not even the faintest outline of spit-up.
5. A day without tears. Not mine, not my kids’, not my mailman’s.
4. Husband, meet dishwasher. Now load it.
3. A meeting with my friends. Chablis, Chardonnay, Merlot and Stoli.
2. A crappy gift from my husband. I can – and will – use it as leverage at a later date.
1. A text from my daughter. Should read: “I’ve come to the realization that your advice and wisdom – and not my immature, short-sighted decisions – should guide me and provide a moral framework to lead me into adulthood. I also pledge to never date anyone in a band.”

Happy Mother's Day!!
