Happy Mothers Day to Me!


 

I lay there so long waiting for breakfast in bed I thought I was going to get bed sores.

I can't eat eggs yet, when I came downstairs,  there were three breakfast egg sandwiches.

I made my own coffee.
And waffles.


No one wanted to come to the gardening shops with me and after some serious guilt rants they acquiesced.

 

One stood with his arms folded, the other two with their hands pushed deep into their pockets.  

There were no smiles until I told them to go and get an ice cream.

Thank goodness Swan Lake Nurseryland sells ice cream.







I made them fill the back of the truck with another order of mulch.

I made them shovel it onto the garden beds.

I made them lunch.




I planted the vegetable garden.
I ran out of carrot seeds and went to Coldstream Willows Nursery which is just around the corner.
The Husband came with me to guard the bank card.


My children stayed home - they'd had enough fun..






They took me out for dinner.








 I ate too much.



When we pass in the hallway "I love you mommy"
Good enough!


As long as they love me everyday, I don't need a special day.

*sigh* Teenagers! But don't worry -- they'll have teenagers of their own some day!

I so adore your sense of humour. It's just how life truly is! My mother's day was a bit like yours, starting with driving my kids to work at 7 am - but the three of them baked me a lemon cake for supper so in the end it was lovely.
And you got taken out for dinner - that's lovely too! xx
