Mothers Day




What  can  i say  about  my Mothers  day,  that  I  am  blessed  with  two  beautiful  daughters  and a really great  son in law........  I  was  a  little  sad  in the  morning,  my  "home"  child  had  slept  over  at a friend  and  I  woke  up  "childless"  so  made  my own  tea....  was  surprised  a  little  while  later  when  she  arrived  home for  the  four  of  us,  two  girls  and  too Mothers,   to  go on a  Mother  daughter  breakfast..........  which  she  paid  for,  not  sure  where  the  money  came from  although  I  have  the  inkling  that  the  tuck  money  she  required  for  school  all last  week  had  a  lot  to  do  with it............  it  was  lovely  I  cannot  believe  that  I  actually  had   a  health  breakfast,   it  was  torture  I  almost  felt  like  fighting  my  friend  for  her  eggs  and  bacon  the  smell  was amazing......  but  I could  not  afford  to  use  too many  points  at  breakfast  otherwise  I  would  have  to  starve  all day.........  talk  about  dedication....

I  made  lunch  for  the  whole  family........  can  you  believe  it  again  so  that  I  could  stick  with my diet, restaurant  food  just  takes  up  to  many of  my points  and   it is  too early to  want  to  cheat  and  next  week  they  are  taking  measurements  and  weighing  us  all again  so  don't  want  to embarrass  myself.......
My  eldest  daughter  again  used  her  creative  gifts  to  make  me  some  stunning  gifts,  memo  pad  for  the  fridge,  note  book  for  my "inspirational  moments"  and  my favourite  some Mothers  Day  Coupons,  little  cards  on  which  I  can  put  tasks  that  I  would  like  her  to do for  me..........  anything..........  I  could  really  have  fun  with  them.............  revenge.......... I  am  thinking  about  all the  nappies,  all the  sleepless  nights..........  all the  grey  hairs.............  no................  yes........................no..................
With  all  the  events  of  the  day,  I  missed  church  in the  morning  so we  went  to the  evening  service   and  I  was  thrilled  when  our  minister  asked  me  to do the evening  service  at  the  end  of May.......  I  knew  something  was  coming  because  I  had  completed  a "message'  the  week  before  and  had  given  it  to my  "bestest"  friend  to  type.......  God  knows  I  cannot be  rushed  into  these  things.......  so  always  sends  me the message  way  in advance....... we  serve  an  awesome  God......
It  could  only  happen  to  us........  when  we  came  out  of  church  our  car  was  surrounded  by  policemen,  and  loads  of police  cars  with   flashing  blue  lights,    turns  out  a  drug  dealer  had  run  out  of  petrol,  pushed  his  car  behind  mine,  and  gone  off to  buy  some petrol,  the  police  had  received  a  tip  off about  the  car,  and so  when  it  was  noticed  they  "hid"  behind  a  wall  and  when  he  came  back  with  the  petrol  they  nabbed  him,  and  they  were  holding  him  up  against  my  car............  we  had  to  wait  about  half  an  hour  before  they  would  allow  us  to  remove  my  car................

Never  a  dull moment  in  our  household...........  even  Mothers  day  could  not  be  an  ordinary  day.

  1. What a great day! I think having Church at the end of the day would be a nice way to end the weekend..Your daughters sound like wonderful girls (women!) Hmmm...perhaps they get that from Mom? I'm glad Mother's Day is celebrate all over the world..don't we deserve it?
