Happy mother's day everyone.
My 3 kids (11, 13 and 15) woke up this morning, each gave me a hug and wished me a happy mother's day. They remembered at least.
For once, I've not had any screaming at me or fall outs today. There have been so many upsetting issues here recently, I can't tell you.
I'm divorced but on fairly good terms with their dad. He's messaged me a lot today about my son's football but no mention of mother's day. He's bought me flowers in the past for the kids after we split. Not this time, apparently.
Bit shit, really. Seen a million posts on FB, seen loads of women when out and about today being taken out & loved. All the mums at football this morning were going somewhere or doing something with their families
Called my own mum in her 80s this morning, who lives over 200 miles away from me. I'd sent her a card & flowers in post.
I stopped in at the supermarket on way back from footy match this morning and bought myself some wilted, reduced price flowers and some g&t.
Just a bit shit being a single parent.
Schools don't go there anymore.
Harummmph.
