Spoil Your Mum!

Good morning all.


It's a truly beautiful day out there today and the forecast is good for tomorrow so, when I have finished my work shift today, I shall be dashing home to sit in the sunshine and have a cup of tea. Believe me, that sounds heavenly after the lack of sleep I have been suffering lately!
My best friend has just emailed me to say that she has received emails form me after midnight and at 5 in the morning and that she is going to buy me some essential oils to help me nod off. To be honest I think that my hectic working pattern of the last 2 weeks is to blame. That and this blog which I am ridiculously obsessed with as you may have noticed!
I have just worked out that I have worked some part of every day for last 10 days and I have more of the same until next Thursday. That really can't be good for a lady of my age, can it?! Roll on the school holidays I say.


I had another lovely comment about my blog last night and a request for me to do today's post early if possible so I am doing my best with this now.


Last night I was reminded that it's Mother's Day tomorrow. It's not something that I really need to think about these days but it set me thinking about my own Mum again and I decided that I would like to do something for her tomorrow apart from taking flowers to the crematorium and spending a few minutes  thinking about her. I want to do a post about us mums tomorrow and mention my Mum in it so I have asked for anyone that remembers her and who has fond/happy/funny memories of her to share them with me if they feel able to.
Already I have had some lovely responses and I feel so happy that Mum was thought well of by so many people. It is already making my own memories of her much more positive which is fantastic.


Of course, I am a mum myself and it's a job that I take incredibly seriously. It's a role that I always longed for and a role that I treasure. I adore my children and I love them more than they will ever know.
This evening I am being treated to a meal at one of my favourite local restaurants in honour of Mother's Day and I'm really looking forward to spending time with 3 of my 4 kiddiewinks. The 4th is a mummy herself to three youngsters and I hope to get to see her very soon.


So, this is a relatively short and sweet post. I wish you all a wonderful day. To any of you reading this that are fortunate enough to have your mums in your life....go on, spoil them tomorrow, go and buy them a lovely card, send some flowers, pick up the phone and speak to them. It will mean more to them than you may realise and you never know when they may be gone for good.


Much love
