I've been wondering what to get my mom this year ... thanks for the help!

BTW, I have a wicked apple martini hangover this morning. I'm gonna go through the comments on your hangover post and get me some life-saving advice. Thanks for the public service.

Wow! Now I know where all the drinking moms hang out!!

I think, once a week, I'll take a vicodin and drink two lemon drops and post what comes to mind. What could I call that?

PS: I love this blog.

Oh yeah on the massage from Sven item! I don't want no stinkin' foot bath.

kim said...

Oh, God! We just got my mom a floor polisher. She ASKED for it!!!!

Lisa said...

I must be the "popular" mom because the Key West Margaritaville Drink Maker has got my name written all over it. Just ignore the fact that I am pregnant right now. I promise to wait until after baby is born to down pitcher after pitcher of margaritas. Promise.

MadMad said...

Hm. I'm still thinking any of those beats the sitting at your mother IN LAW's kitchen "celebration" I usually get... but not by much, probably. Especially not the foot massager.

Minivan Mom said...

You know what I want for Mother's Day.

My husband to put down the damn video game controller. And then I want him to make my 8 year old to put down the damn video controller, so I'm not always the Video Game Nazi.

And then I want them to go outside, and I want my husband to teach my son how to ride a bike.

Because it's embarrassing to ME that my 8 year old does not know how to ride his perfectly nice bike in the garage.

That is seriously what I asked for.

I was looking to buy her a Chia something...

sandyshoes said...

What do they have for Leave Me The HELL Alone Mom? Cause I want that.

VikingLady said...

I want that steam mop.

Moi said...

Note to self: hide this ad from husband and children.

Too bad they don't sell that saddle "exercise chair". I bet that would be a popular gift item.

hokgardner said...

I will never look at another Sunday sales flyer in the same way again! Just brilliant.

Post more blogs! I hate this once a week crap.

Laura in AZ said...

You should really update more than once a week. I love reading your blogs, but hate waiting for the next one!! You're hilarious!

Can I be the popular mom??

E. Ann Bardawill said...

I keep asking my kids for a limber open-minded Cabana Boy named Antonio, but they keep giving my those damn Maxine cards from Hallmark and boxes of mediocre chocolates.

Dammit!

TLCknits said...

I'll take the steam mop over having to trudge out on that Sunday to any Cracker Barrel!

followthatdog said...

Too bad they don't sell "15 minutes of uninterrupted privacy in the bathroom" That's what I want for Mother's Day.

Lisa said...

What is it going to take for you to blog more often?

I NEED it WENDI...

need...need......okay, want...but like I want a Diet Coke in the morning (that is if I don't have it, things can be very, very bad around here).

Clearly all the gas got to this inventor's head, but anyway... The perfect Mother's Day gift.

You are a funny mummy. Have a great mother's day!

That ped egg thing really sends me into panic mode. It's not enough to change the channel, I bolt from the room like a 12" cock roach just appeared in the den. Perhaps it's just the ticklish factor, maybe combined with the images of dead skin shavings liesurely lurking in all my neighbors' garbage cans. I really can't handle it.
