There are always so many disappointed Mother's day threads, I wanted to create a positive one.
I'm having an amazing day because:
I was able to snuggle with my young dcs in bed this morning.
Dh brought me a coffee up, and the dcs drinks, which we drank in bed together. We played, laughed, and cuddled.
DH made dc's breakfast. I could hear dc1 complaining about "daddy's fried egg" and how it wasn't "Mummy's poachies." He ended up enjoying said eggs. All of the chatter brought a smile to my face.
I could hear their little voices downstairs, writing my cards out, and saying not finished, need to write or colour this, etc. They excitedly came upstairs to give me them, my 4 year old, so proud of his scribbles all over the card he chose. My other dc who is on the spectrum wrote it all out himself without prompting, was able to say happy mother's day, be upbeat etc, without being overwhelmed ( he hasn't been like that before, as usually hates any fuss). I was so touched and proud of him.
The cards meant the world, but on top of it, they proudly presented me with an M&S "Big Daddy" bar. This is a beast of a chocolate bar, like something Willy Wonka has made. I mean, come on, what is better than that??
I am currently lying in bed with a cup of tea, about to have a bath, with salts, and my new towelling robe dh got earlier in the week. I'm recently bereaved, so I had been a bit down.
What more could I ask for? I have a beautiful family. We're imperfectly perfect, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Anyway, I would love to hear why today is amazing for you, too.
