This morning I had a wonderful sleep in until 9:30, and then mum and I exchanged gifts through Miss K. She got the new My Kitchen Rules cook book, and I got a brand new pair of winter pyjamas and a box of Malteasers. You may not think that a person could get excited about pyjamas, but given that the last time I was given a new set was when I was getting ready to go to hospital to give birth 2 years ago, they were well overdue, and I was super glad to get them. So much so I even took a photo of them.
They're so warm and fleecy.
Some of you may remember last year I made a card for mum for her Mother's Day. Well this year I did exactly the same, but given how much things have changed over the past 12 months it only took me an hour to complete this one, instead of the 3 days I spent last year, and I'm just as pleased with the results.
The colours aren't that purple in real life, my camera just hates taking photos indoors with energy saving light bulbs on.
Miss K and I also spent an hour at the park with her dad and his new girlfriend, and I got a second gift there too, a dolphin statue like the ones I used to collect while Miss K's dad and I were still together.
Again, not that purple. Stupid camera
Firstly I was surprised I even got a gift today, given that yesterday we had an argument at the end of his visit with Miss K, so to have a civil conversation with him today was going to be good enough for me, but I got more. Secondly thanks to my darling daughter, the statue you see there isn't exactly what I received, as I let her play with it when we got home, and it got dropped, so one of the dolphins is now missing a head.
Well that's all from me, I'm now celebrating the best present I could have asked for today, and that is complete silence. Miss K is in bed, mum is at my big sister's house babysitting, and my baby sister is staying close to work tonight, so I have a whole house to myself and a big box of Malteasers begging to be eaten.
So Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there, you know who you are, and an especially big Happy Mother's day to my own mum, plus a big hug and kiss for putting up with both Miss K and I for as long as she has, anyone who has lived with me can tell you that can be difficult at times, but she does it with love and patience, and it is because of this that I still maintain that she is the best mum in the world.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow, because as a special treat, my awesome mum has agreed to answer some questions for the May is for Mom's series linky party, so that will be posted up some time soon.
Stay awesome everyone, and I'll be back again with reinforcements soon.
Happy Mother's Day to you! It must have been such a surprise getting a present from Miss K.'s dad, but glad you did ;-)
ReplyDeleteI know right?? I was really surprised, especially after the argument, which his girlfriend assures me put him in a foul mood for the rest of the day, so it was not expected.
DeleteHope you had a good one girl. always nice to get surprises. What is malteasers? I have never heard of those. And the nerve of you calling me a bitch after i've asked you to do a guest post for me and it seems like you've forgotten. naw i'm kidding there but I did email you. :D
ReplyDeleteI promise you the post is coming. I'm working on it at the moment, but I'm such a perfectionist, I won't be happy with it until it is excellent. And Malteasers are balls of malt dipped in chocolate. If you're ever in Australia I recommend you find them and then eat them.
