The influence of a mother in the lives of her children is
beyond calculation. James E Faust
Strong! That’s what I
was yesterday, stronger than I wanted to be, I’d bought mom bread pudding,
scones and shortbread biscuits and all three I likes a lot but I only cut a
small piece about an inch of bread pudding to taste, the rest I left! Check me out, I’ve got one day to get through
before I get my weeklies back, I’ve used them all and all 26 of my pedometer
ProPoints too, I’m minus 1, so should get that back on pedometer today and I’ll
do a F&H day and not have a drink and I’ll have made it through the week!
Mothers Day, I hope you all get looked after today, mom will
get breakfast in bed – she gets that every morning anyway, then I’ll cook her a
nice dinner, mmm I do that every day too – I think Mothers Day is every day in
this house! Maybe we should have a
Beverley day ;-)
Every day should be mother’s day as moms get older, think of
all the things they did for you when you were growing up, my mom was and still
is amazing, I’m just trying to repay her for all the things she did & still
does for me! There’s the obvious stuff,
like doing your washing and ironing, but then there’s that other stuff like
bringing you up to believe you’re amazing and can achieve anything you want to
but at the same time that it’s ok not to be the best at everything and to
something’s get things wrong. My mom always
made me feel safe and loved, I have ‘moments’ in my life flashing through my
head right now of times when the only person I wanted and needed was my mom and
she was there – she may be getting older but she’ll always have that special
quality that makes her the best mom in the world - she’s an incredible lady
with a wicked sense of humour. One example of her natural humour (she doesn’t
even realise she’s doing it, she’s just making conversation) happened yesterday,
we’re eating our dinner and she pipes up, “you cook all
the cabbage even the middle bit!" Me "it's Kale". Mom "it's
vile, it tastes like privet". Nothing
like a thank you for cooking someone's dinner is there!
Yes if you are lucky enough to still
have your mom, make sure you make her day special today, and if you’ve lost
your mom, spend some time today thinking about the good times rather than
dwelling on the sadness that’s she’s gone. xx
Back to yesterday the morning was all work, yesterday
afternoon was a massage followed by Harry Potter, sat and finished number 3
then watched number 4, I’m all chilled out and ready to ‘do’ today now, so much
I can be doing! Housework is never ending
isn’t it, I can work on Weight Watcher stuff forever that’s never-ending
too. So I’ll do a bit of both, walk
Alfie for mom and see if she fancies doing anything then we can chill out
together later.
Dinner’s already cook, a chicken curry made in the slow
cooker, I’ll serve that with brown rice, I’m enjoying beans for some reason
this week – had them for breakfast yesterday and might have them again
today! I need to shop already, can’t
believe how quickly a shopping list grows, that’ll probably be tomorrow now
though, I’ve got enough food for today, and if I buy more I’ll only be tempted
by the niceness I’ve put on that list ;0) I want to make mom those rice crispie
cakes, and the rock cakes from weeks back but I’m going to had crystallized
ginger like one of my members did mmm, there’s also an amazing looking
chocolate cake thing in this month’s
magazine that needs making – all sweet stuff, that will need rationing, so
today’s not the day to make them. I’ve
also been fancying Ryvita lately; they’ll make a quick breakfast when I’m in a
rush.
Anyway I can hear movement so it’s time to go do the ‘mother’s
day’ thing, have a good one yourself and BeYOUtiful. xx
Don’t forget the clocks went forward in the night!
