This is ridiculously early, but I need Mother's Day ideas

...and it's gotta be a good one. Because this is going to be the worst mother's day of my mother's life. It's going to be the first MD she has two children instead of three.

And it gets worse. Mother's Day is 5/11. The day before, 5/10? That would've been my brother's 40th birthday if he hadn't died at 39.

My mother would prefer to be out in CA, with my sis-in-law and the three grandchildren, on that weekend. That's not possible, however: my sister is graduating from law school the following Sunday. Mom and Dad will be staying in Boston for that. (They're heading for CA the next day).

I live here with my parents, they let me move back in after my marriage broke up so I can finish school. None of us are particularly crazy about this arrangement :-) though it's my father that drives me nuts, not Mom. But it's a burden on all of us, and I'm grateful that they've let me do this at the same time that I'm counting the fucking days until I finish my degree and get a real job and get the hell out :-).

So, that's the backdrop. I love my mother dearly, this is going to be tough as hell, and it's not a Mother's Day she's going to want to 'celebrate'. Endure will be more like it.

Any ideas?
