Real moms buy their own Mother’s Day presents

Because

… a real mom knows that in order to make everyone else happy, she has to make herself happy first.

… a real mom knows how to pick her battles, and forcing her husband to come up with the perfect gift isn’t one she’s opted into.

… a real mom is pragmatic, a realist, and (let’s face it) slightly opportunistic. Why sulk when you can shop?

… a real mom knows that the laundry will always be there. But a 20% off sale with free shipping? Now that’s urgent.

Real moms. Making sure momma’s happy.

This is an entry into the Real Mom Truths contest (hurry! the deadline is 10pm EST today!) The winner will receive this amazing 4G iPod Nano and Chocolate gift set, plus a link to their post on True Mom Confessions on Mother’s Day.
