MOTHERS DAY....AND I'M BEING SELFISH! BUGGER OFF!!

It's the day before Mothers Day WEEKEND...that's right, I take the WHOLE weekend!! Whats wrong with taking a WEEKEND out of the YEAR!? NOTHING!! I get to relax...OK, not all the times..lets face it, our Mother radar doesn't shut off!! I constantly jump to whatever demand this army asks! I'd rather do things than having them do it! Cause in the end...I'm cleaning up what they started and couldn't finish. AND come Monday...when things are back to normal(sigh)...the HOUSE has to be put back together! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my BRATS...just sometimes its more work for me, once the day/weekend is over!

I hear/read about Moms planning or suggesting what they would like on their day! Cards, flowers, dinners out, spa days etc etc...I've also seen surveys on what MOMS want!! There was one, and only 8% wanted a bottle of WINE!! What the hell is that about....8%!?

YEAH YEAH...every MOM is different, I get that!! But seriously....!? 

For the previous Mother's Days, we have gone to my favourite restaurant for BRUNCH...Milestones!! YUM!

Then I am allowed to BROWSE, ALONE...at the Antique Market! AND chose a gift!! Then, we end the day with me making Bruschetta(which I love doing....I am my happiest in the kitchen)...munching on olives and sipping WINE!! That is PERFECTION!!

Until this year.....

This year...Hubby is giving me the GREATEST GIFT EVER...he is taking OUR KIDS to the COTTAGE for the WEEKEND!! I will be alone and will LOVE it!! This weekend I can chat with myself, garden, write, read and drink WINE!! How PERFECT is that!!! For me...to be a BETTER Mom, means having ALONE time!! So take the kids away...bugger off!!!

I can tell you...when Hubby comes that home night..BOOM CHICKA BOOM BOOM!!

Happy WIFE(errr....MOM).....Happy LIFE!

JUST as I am finishing typing  this up...my 7yo daughter came to me and pleaded to stay home!!

She says she won't bug me at all...unless she needs something!! She also says that she wants to write too...!!

Hmmm...there might be a leak in my economy size bottle of wine......!!
