Last week my husband asked me a question I haven’t heard in the entirety of our relationship together, “What do YOU want for Mothers Day?”  I have to say I was dizzy for a minute, and let me take you back in time to explain why. . . .

My very first Mothers Day as a wife I was (of course) pregnant with our first child.  I woke up that Sunday, rolled over and asked my husband if I was getting breakfast in bed before church.  “Why?” he asked, still somewhere between REM and Consciousness.  “Because it’s Mothers Day!” I replied somewhat indignantly, because Hel-lo he helped me shop for HIS mom’s gift like less then twelve hours ago.  “But you’re not a Mother. . . . . .yet” he tacked that last part on as an afterthought, since he realized I was approaching dangerous hormone levels.  “Every WOMAN is a MOTHER- even if SHE doesn’t HAVE children YET, and I SHOULD BE HONORED AS SUCH. . . . . . by getting breakfast in bed.”  Now he was fully awake, and being the smart husband that he is, he rolled out of bed and made me a bowl of Captain Crunch cereal.

Most of my Mothers Day’s have been pretty much the same since.  He can do Birthdays and Anniversary’s, but there is no forethought to Mothers Day with him.

Now we come back to the present, and after I took about a minute to come out of my state of shock at being asked such a question, before Mothers Day, I said, “This Mothers Day I want to be left alone all day- I don’t want to do ANYTHING.  I want to FORGET that I’m even a mother.  I want to sleep till noon, have my meals of chocolate and soda pop mysteriously appear in my bed, read Jane Austen till I’m speaking in Olde English, and then blog stalk till I fall asleep on the keyboard.  That’s what I want for Mothers Day.”   Without missing a beat my husband said, “but we have church at 9.”

Well, so, I was asking a little much- but I thought the one thing I really need on Mother’s Day is a good laugh- and so, with that in mind, I asked the other girls here to contribute blog’s they love to laugh with- written by other women, because after all, “we’re all Mother’s even if we don’t have children yet!”

*Alisa nominated two ladies, you’ve probably seen their witty comments below our own meager attempts at humor(at least in my case meager attempts).  Kristina and Wonder Woman

*Julianne nominated someone I’ve never seen before, but I started reading her posts and she’s hilarious.  After I post this link she’ll probably wonder why her views skyrocket and consequently go private on us- so try to click over there before that happens, and get your belly laughs in.  Abby

*Elaine has been really busy, so I’m forgiving her for not getting me anyone and I’m going to pretend like she responded with this blog that I think is hilarious.  Crash Test Dummy Diaries

We’re always looking for great blogs to stalk, so tell us where you go to get yourself a (legal) fix.

Oh! and Happy Mothers Day!

I’m taking over Funny Fridays this week and I am a huge fan of Brian Regan though I’ve missed him the last few years when he’s come to town.  It is my plan to see this man live.  I honestly just imagine myself peeing my pants the whole way through his performance.  I picked this clip because I just went to the eye doctor last month and when I got my new glasses it was like a whole new world was opened up to me.  Colors were brighter, lines crisper.  It was amazing and I immediately thought of this part of Brian Regan’s routine.  My husband had a similar experience to me so we were laughing about it on the way home from the doctors.

So my question for you is does the ground always come up at you when you get new glasses.  It does for us.  I guess maybe it’s a depth perception thing but it would be a funny addition to his act to walk around like he can’t tell where the ground is.  Funny to me at least.

You guys Brian Regan fans?

In case you missed it on Good Morning America, or Oprah, or Facebook, or someone hasn’t forwarded you this yet- here is the link to Ms. Susan Boyle on Britains Got Talent.  Not my typical Funny Friday fare, but I laughed, and then I cried a little (it’s the pregnancy hormones), and then I laughed a little more.  Great Stuff.

If you didn’t know, last week was my birthday- I turned thirty(I’m one of the young-un’s here), and one of my “friends” sent me this web site to cheer me up a bit.

The songs of death were my favorite- and immediately made it on to my ipod.  Enjoy!

My sister Kim hooked me on this site about a week ago- it’s completely hilarious.  It’s basically filled with “What the?” moments- that people have caught on video and in pic.s.   Best of all there’s a button you can click that will allow you to only see the “G-rated” videos(and pics) they have on the blog.  I didn’t realize this until I had already sifted through a number of fat naked women and bad penis innuendo’s- so consider yourself warned.  www.failblog.org

I thought we’d start something new here at blogthedayaway- called funny fridays.   I realize that today isn’t technically friday but that makes it even funnier right?  Here’s our first installment, straight from my friend Andreas blog.   (I could really use a mani/pedi right now)
