First let me say I hope all you mothers out there had a great day and were spoilt rotten! If not, Why not???
I knew this was going to be a difficult day from the start! Son’s card had not arrived in Saturday’s post and Hubby was going to play golf all day in a competition. I had planned to be either in the garden or at least doign the laundry to keep me busy with the odd walk on the beach to feed the soul and keep the dog happy.
Well, it was a beautiful day, weather-wise. I managed to get all the washing and ironing done…there is nothing like a large pile of freshly laundered clothes and bed linen to make me smile – sad, I know, but there it is! I watched Anonymous on Box Office, which was just a superb film, great acting, and thought provoking…and as was alone there were no interruptions!
All was well until the late afternoon. I realised my mood was going downhill. Everyone on Twitter was having a great day, lovely things had been said about my sentiments on there; perhaps I shouldn’t have read all my time line! As my mother would have said “The Black Dog was on my shoulders”.
I should have gone for the walk; I should have gone for a bath; I should have phoned a friend…isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing? I did none of these things and by the time Hubby got home I was very low. Bless him, lots of hugs were given to me, but sometimes these things just have to take their path and pass. A few tears relieved the tension, and admitting it had been a tough day too.
SO, it is over for another year. It turns out son forgot to post the card, and so did the friend he called to do it for him…the friend even forgot to send his own mother a card! But instead I have had 2 phone calls from Son in 2 days which is so much better than card!
SO today, I know I am loved, I have a great week ahead of me, and the sun is shining! Now, if only I could find the important papers I have mislaid…..!!!
