How did I know it was a special day?
Could it be because my kids were knocking on my door early, AS USUAL, which obviously woke me up!
I get out of bed and go to the door..."Happy Mother's Day Mum", they said. And then they walked away!
What? You woke me up for that?! LOL
Too cute.
My gifts today were:
from my baby girl (when am I going to stop calling her a baby? She's almost 4 hehe!) - A black sheet of paper with chalk waves.
from my little boy - The card with a tea bag in it :o) and the pink box containing a chocolate.
from my 9 year old daughter - the pink Pyramid with a chocolate in it.
and finally, in the photograph, is one of my most treasured home made gifts from 2005 made by my 13 year old daughter, who is now 17 - the vase of flowers. The vase has a sand texture on it. So beautiful.
Although, I would love to have a lay in on my special day and have tea and food fetched to me in bed, which didn't happen today lol, I realise just how lucky I am for the things they do for me.
My 13 year old daughter cooked Macaroni Cheese for everyone and a Chocolate cake. I am such a lucky Mum.
So Happy Mothers Day to all UK Mum's. And to those who would love to wish their Mum's a Happy Mother's Day, but their Mum's are no longer here, I send out {{{BIG HUGS}}}.
The sad news of Jade Goody's death in the early hours of this morning, on Mothers Day of all days! Makes me realise, even more, how blessed I am today.
My heartfelt wishes and comforting thoughts go out today to Jade's family and her 2 little boys. RIP Jade.
