So my mother is still here with no return date which that in itself makes me smile. Husband is still home and Easter is here in a few days which means a couple of things. A full house as the brothers and their kids return to the big house for the Easter Egg Hunt.Then there is ‘the’ Easter Egg Hunt an event that rivals Christmas morning. My husband and his family never had a Easter Egg hunts as kids but its the one thing my mother did for me and it didn’t matter where we were camping the Easter bunny always found me. He always left a mess and always left a trail of eggs that kept me busy for what seemed like hours.
So when we had kids I couldn’t wait to do the hunt with them and from the first hunt I understood why it was so important to my parents. The excitement and thrill the kids get ‘hunting’ brings me to tears literally both from happiness and laughter. Just as it does to watch my husband hunt with the kids also because its on moments like these that I am truly reminded that life is about choices.My husband despite what he saw as a child is an amazing man.
So before I get all philosophical on you here are my few things for today.
1. Husband and I went on a date yesterday. I sat down and he wondered off to the toilet. He returned with a decaf cappuccino with three sugars in hand. Just for me because he knew I would like it…that beats the flowers he brought me Saturday for no reason..not by much but a little. I was reminded that its the little things that I love him for.
2. My B1 hasn’t progressed in his reading and comprehension. I am freaking out; why? After nine weeks are we still in the same spot. Its affecting his confidence. Its affecting mine. He is at the bottom of the ladder infact at this stage he isn’t even on it. What the? I am however grateful for his friends who constantly tell him that as long as he tries is all that matters.
3. Have you heard about the bully busters program that has been implemented in an Montrose Area School? Such a good idea. I hope it goes Australia wide. Its means involving the children on low level bully behaviour read more about it here.
4. I read somewhere that those people who swear more are considered more trust worthy…hmmm…so I could be someone you could leave the keys to the NAB vault with.
5. Just letting you know ahead of time that the nana heel (mid heel shoe) is in for next summer…um I didn’t realise it was out.
6.Drinking a beer a day keeps the flu away..I wont tell if you don’t..
7. My mother and father have been married 36 years and still cant communicate..its frustrating as crap seriously, just needed to throw that out there.
8. Cancer is following me…and I freaking hate it..so when I came across this post about cancer I couldn’t help but read..Read it here..
9. If you are struggling with being a mum today head to this honest website telling you the other unexpected side of mother hood read it here it will make you hold your breathe.
10. And just because I read it somewhere and I’m a bit of a useless trivia fan..the worlds longest legs belong to a basketball coach in North Virginia. Her legs measure 4’4ft alone. She is 6’5ft in total height. Am I jealous? No only when I cant reach the top shelf at woolies.
So that’s it sweets have a great Monday,
xx Deb
