to get a lock for my bedroom door for next mothers day?

[bejeezus]

All I wanted for Mothers day was a lie in and a cup of tea in bed....

I got a cup of tea...at 6am...and I was force fed hot cross buns. And chocolates...the chocolates I had bought for my mum!

Was theme dragged into the kids bedroom for an impromptu disco

Phew!...how's your morning been?

I have just been made to eat 2 scotch pancakes with cream and strawberries on and a pain au chocolat, and I still have a croissant on my plate.

downhill from here then?!

DH got in at 4 so no breakfast in bed for me but he did prime DS to deliver me cards (including a very sweet one from DH) and a new base layer. A bit of an off the wall mothers' day gift but I did need one to stop me stealing his :)

We're going to see a friend later and DH is back to work at lunch time so a pretty ordinary day ahead.

By the way YABU and a misery, what's not to like about a disco at 8am.

Still lurking in bed now about to go downstairs. Dh woke us up half an hour ago trying to drill into the wall quietly to fix a shelf

I feel your croissant pain sparkling

at 'drilling quietly'.

Poor neighbours drilling at 8am on a Sunday

Couldn't he wait?!?

at drill quietly.
I woke up at 6 to the cats killing each other. DD is still asleep. She made me a card on Thursday, I look like I am standing on a green turd with a giant yellow cock behind me.
I also got my present three weeks ago. A cuddly flower which has emigrated to DDs room. She'd be gutted if I asked for it back I think.

Biggest childer in cooking me breakfast, I've changed youngest Childers crappy nappy (thanks son) and I have Benedict Cumberbatch on DVD. Not a terrible day so far. Plus I'm going to bed soon as have jus finished nightshirt. It definitely could be worse.

Well Jel of a DH putting up shelves at such an hour.

Gazes sadly at the grundtal still sitting in its efficient Swedish packaging on the floor where it's been for the last 4 weeks

ds woke up at 6.30, came into bed and talked about polar bears for 40 mins until I cracked and turned on CBeebies. He's now making me a Lego mother's day star ship. I got a lovely card from him. We'll have breakfast soon, pick up his sister from her Brownie sleepover and then have an ordinary day, I would think.

Everyone was away last night, I'm here on my own! It's wonderful!!
I have got 1 hour and 19 minutes before they come back! So much time! :o

My presents-

Two lots of minty chocolates
Cosmopolitan Magazine
3 bags of foamy bananas
The Military Wives CD

Well chuffed.

Dh tried to let me lie in but ds2 was being Velcro baby and screamed the house down when dh tried to remove him from the bed. Oh well.

I got some lovely cards from the dcs and then I have mostly been ignored. :)

DS2 away for the weekend. DS1 coming for lunch. Am in bed with DH and have decided that the best Mum's Day present is no children .

Getting a cheeky thrill from listening to horrible NDN going through her normal routine of shrieking at her children and them shrieking back at her, all of them, including the 5 year old, using a full vocabulary of swear words (must be gifted and talented).

I got woken up by dds at Half 5, thrusting croissants at me that where still in the packet! This was followed by a jump on the bed session and a pooy nappy from dd. happy mothers day! :)
