Amazon's Top Picks for Mother’s Day… For the Mom Who Just Wants to Survive Mother’s Day…
Have a Heart and Please Rescue Me!?!
Oh… Mother’s Day… normally, it’s a time of year that all
mothers are celebrated and rewarded for surviving the pains of childbirth… and
raising… or in my case… dealing with… and more importantly… surviving the FAB
Five’s holiday shenanigans!
Let me tell you… being a single mom, raising these 5 children of mines… there have been some trying times… and it’s been by the grace of GOD… that I have survived another year… For what?
Is this some type of sick joke?!? Who the heck made up this day?!?
I betcha it had to be some man who thought it would be cute to honor his mom and she probably bragged about it to her neighbor who got on the phone and told her Sista circle… and...
We all know... that some women just have to be... keeping up with those dang Joneses and them... and...
Now I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to fake my own death… and dreading the fact that on Sunday, May 14, 2017… mark the date Ladies… I unfortunately... once again… must pull out my ejnosillA's Mother’s Day Survival Kit!!!

Now… I know you are saying… what can be so bad about ejnosillA's Mother’s Days?!? Well… Sista Girl… let me tell you!
First of all, the oldest one… my beloved daughter… is going
to get the shenanigans started!
She’s going to come up with the bright idea of… and somehow convinces the other four that... “Let’s cook mom breakfast in bed...” is a great ideal!

While, I'm in my room trying to figure out my Mother's Day Escape Plan because I know that I told her... and now... them... individually... collectively... that... “All I want is a day
of peace and quiet.”
The same thing I tell them every year… for every holiday… because I know my health is in jeopardy!
The same thing I tell them every year… for every holiday… because I know my health is in jeopardy!
See, what I mean is…
although my daughter is brilliant, stylish and has grown into such a beautiful
young lady… the kind that any mother would be proud of… she has one important
flaw… SHE CAN’T COOK!
I don't care how many times I have shown her how to cook... basic things... she just can't cook!
I PROMISE YOU… I CAN’T TAKE ANOTHER YEAR OF THIS… undercooked, burnt or scorched… eggs, burnt and hard turkey bacon… crunchy pancakes… the house filled with smoke…oh my goodness... the aroma... just thinking about it... got my asthma trying to flare up...
Just imagine for a minute... me pretending I'm sleep... wishing that I was dead... and having to pretend that I really like the food… hecks… I should have won an Oscar by now… I can't afford to go to the E.R. to get my stomach pumped this year... please somebody... anybody... STOP LAUGHING... and Help Me?!?
What happened to the "GOOD OLE DAYS..." when she... and now them... would just bring mommy a card they made at school… or an ashtray… that started off as a coffee mug… but that’s not the point… I miss those days…

Kindle
E-reader’s single battery charge will last for weeks and not hours… which is a
plus for me because I always seem to be running all over the house… searching
for my missing charger… that has mysteriously walked down the hall and plugged
itself in the outlet in the twins room.
The Kindle E-reader will allow me to hold thousands of books… that means I can read… uninterrupted with no alerts or notifications… and if my kids really want to show out for Mother’s Day… they can get me a Amazon Prime membership… so I can read over a thousand titles for free with unlimited access!

Handbag and Purse Light by Noor
Noor’s
Handbag and Purse Light would be a needed accessory to go with my purse because
I am always losing something in there. Ladies if you’re like me… I have everything
in my purse… minus the kitchen sink!
You need a
band aid… I got it… or you need a Kleenex… yep… I got it… you need a safety
pin... got that too… but… the only problem is… it’s always at the bottom of my
purse and I need some light to find what I am looking for down that big dark
hole.

Noor’s
Handbag and Purse Light is equipped with sensors that are activated by the
movement of your hands… so there aren’t any buttons or switches to push.
No more
pricking my fingers in the dark or having to remove every single item out of my
purse to see what I am looking for… I clip the illuminator inside my bag… one
motion of my hand in my purse and… PRESTO…
I have light that stays on for 10 seconds before automatically turning off… and… the best part… and my selling point to the FAB Five…
It’s Affordable Too! Click the link for more details about the Noor’s Handbag and Purse Light.

ejnosillA's Final Thoughts
In closing... these truly are wonderful gifts that any mother would be so thrilled to get... and I am praying so hard that one of these will be given to me on Mother's Day...
So... I am begging you... if anyone of you knows one of the FAB Five... please share this with them... but...
If I know my daughter with her persuasive skills... meaning... she is going to bully the other four into doing what she wants to do... only because she is the oldest... I probably will be spending my Mother's Day in the bathroom... as usual... Just Saying!!
Well... I guess... I better get my bags packed and ready... and run to the nearest Wal-Mart to stock up on some much needed supplies for my Mother's Day Survival Kit... let me see... I guess better stock up on a variety of antacids, laxatives... or Pepto Bismol... I never know what their meals will do to my insides... okay... let me think... oh yeah... Ginger Ale and crackers... and before I go...
If there is anybody out there who has a heart... would you please rescue me!!! As usual...
Stay Blessed Queens!

I told my husband that I didn't want anything for Mother's Day this year, but I don't think he listen. I think when he hears me say something like that he thinks I don't mean it. I do this year, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm with MM above, I don't want anything. But my husband WILL listen lmao. I'd be happy with dinner or breakfast out :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great gifts! I have a Kindle reader like the one you featured and I love it. It does have a great charge and it is very easy on the eyes, even when you read for a long time.
ReplyDeleteAdorable idea. I think you nailed this gift for any mom or grandparent!
ReplyDeleteI would love a day of quiet. Since I know that won't be happening (especially since I'll be coming back from a trip the day before), I think your list of gifts is great! My Kindle is one of my favorite gifts (my husband bought me one for my birthday a year and a half ago.)
ReplyDeleteRIght there with ya! I think these are great gift ideas :) Especially the Kindle! Can't beat that!
ReplyDeletePurse lights are so useful. I don't know how I managed without one for so long.
ReplyDeleteI lvoe thse ideas. I love my eReader. I use it at least once a day. Plus I take it everywhere!
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny but I completely understand. I pray you have an enjoyable Mother's Day and you kids give you the peace you seek.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post! I love the take you took on mothers day and a kindle is a life saver! We bought one for my mom and she loves it!

That Echo Dot sounds so good, I might be buy it for myself. LOL. I've already secured my mother's gift, but these are all nice to keep in mind for Christmas or a just-because gift.
ReplyDeleteYou're funny. ;) I didn't know the Echo Dot did all of those things. Now I'm wanting one of those too! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are some really nice gift ideas and with Amazon prime great last minute gifts
ReplyDeleteAwww let those babies cook you some burnt toast Lol. I think I'd like that Kindle and a Spa day.
ReplyDeleteI am so booking my mother up with an echo this year. I realized that years of burnt toast and eggs deserves good gifts now.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome gift ideas. Not only just for Mother's Day. I'm definitely taking note!
ReplyDeleteGreat gift ideas!! I looked into the echo for a gift for my sister!
