Yesterday was Mother's Day. Mums all across the country hopefully had a sleep in while the kids were in the kitchen attempting to burn it down.
Mums woke up to burnt toast with some vegemite slapped on it, a luke warm half cup of tea and cards still damp from the glue. Doesn't sound very exciting...but still it is testament to a Mum's love that every year she opens her eyes...feigns complete suprise and says "Oh how wonderful!" All the while thinking "Is it too much for the them to make scrambled eggs?"
While I didn't get the burnt toast (oh thank goodness)...I did get lovely hand made cards and some little girly goodies the kids purchased from a stall at school last week.
I also received a bunch of flowers from my husband (very rare indeed). Upon further inspection though..they were all dead. He raced back to the shop...got a refund...and bought me a scratchie instead.
Happy Mother's Day. May your flowers not be dead, your toast not be burnt and your kitchen still in one piece.
We have been on holidays with another family for the past week and went camping up the north coast. The first 4 days it rained. There's nothing like soggy toast for breakfast and sand in every possible nook and cranny you can think of.
To pass the time one evening we played a game of I Spy. It was my son's turn (he's the cute 7yr old) and he spied something starting with the letter "F". We went through everything we could see that started with "F". Nothing was right. Eventually we all gave up in disgust. His answer was "fongs". He said "See...all our fongs over near the tent."
After composing ourselves, we said they're "thongs" with a "th" and not an "f". Doh! Well when you're 7 and missing your front teeth I guess it's pretty tricky to say anything starting with "th".
Keep Smiling.
Yeah I know, I know. I've been slack and not checked in for ages. Don't have any good excuses for not blogging. Looks like I'm just gonna have to get my act together, clear my calendar for the next few days and play catch up. Doh!
...oh the shame!
