to all the mums and all the mums to be and all of you who have dreamed of being a mum

I think Ngaire says it best ...

I was spekaing to my sister last night- she has 4 children - 3 boys and a girl and I daily take my hat off to her..

I say how is it going?
She says its hard work
I say it's always hard work
She says I know that now .
and we laugh - cause you have to.

I used to think that once we got through the not sleeping, the toilet training, the teething, the whatever phase it would get easier

I too now know that it just doesn't - each phase gets replaced with another one and a different set of issues.

Today we spent time in the I am not listening to anything you say phase. One of my personal favourites and unfortunately one that i think may hang around for a few years.

We have had a lovely day though - started with the obligatory home made gorgeous jars of glitter filled with their smiles - they always come up with such cute ideas at school and a number of handmade cards and bought ones that they chose themselves at the newsagent - I think that process drives Richard crazy I love that he does it..Breakfast early at the Marriot.

Richard took photos I think this may be my first year of mothers day when actually have a photo of the girls and I

After breakfast we went in search of the bits to make a terrarium - you'd think it would all be at one place but no...The vase part from target the planting mix and plants from bunnings and the rocks from the reject shop- Don't go to the pet barn they don't have good terrariums - my other tip would be - don't make them in the house!

This is a gift the girls have made for their After School Care group leader who tragically lost her daughter to cancer last week.

Richard is washing hair and bathing children - roast lamb is in the crockpot ready to go.
I return to work tomorrow for just a few hours.. Hoping its all going to be smooth.
Enjoy the rest of your evening and thanks for popping in.
