In my family, we do not do that. Not, that we don't love and admire our mother, the reason is, that she refuses to have someone outside her life and family decide, when she is to admired.
She prefers to be shown whenever, not just on one dedicated day. So I only call her, that makes her happy as well. She does not want presents.
But to all mothers out there who DO relish this day: have yourself partied. You do absoulutely have a right to it, as you do a lot for your children. And I mean those mothers who really do take care of their children, not those, who are to lazy and have personnel for this.
I also mean those mothers, who would love to spend more time with their children, but just get much of a chance to do so, because they have to work so hard to keep body and soul together. You are doing a great job!! Don't let anyony tell you otherwise! But take a few minutes to yourself as well!!
Here is a song by Louis Prima as a reminder (I don't own it):
Apart from this, nothing much happened lately, I have been working on my traveling schedule and decided to spend one night in London on my way to Yorkshire, though I might have written that already. Still have to book the room, b.t.w.
Also I have re-read a book by Georgette Heyer - "The Nonesuch" that takes place somewhere between Harrogate and Leeds and not 20 miles from York. In a fictional village of course.
Yesterday we did not walk, because of heavy rain. Today most of the girls do walk, but I do not go out on Sundays, as those are my days off to relax from people. I am weird like that. But hey, since nobody really has to suffer from it, I could not say, that I minded. And I do make exceptions, where needed and fair. I'm not that much of a recluse.
Lately I have re-uploaded all my Sims 3 Games and I mean all. I do have each and every game and almost every world. Barnacle Bay is ordered though. So I enjoy playing it again. It is great fun.
Also I get on with my audiobooks and my paperbacks and my housework.
Yesterday I gave my bedroom a thorough cleaning and at the same time moved my bed. Not it is at the outer wall, feet to the balcony. And I would have slept well, if I didn't have a biological problem. But once I did sleep, I slept very well. Don't know if it is Feng Shui, to me it is a simple change. I have a habit of turning around the furniture, that I can move on my own. Inherited from my Grandma I am told.
Recently I ooked on a website about frugal living and got some more inspiration. I do have a habit of throwing my money around. That is good for our economy, but not good for my purse. So I have to find a way to save my purse more and only occasioinally do something for our economy. I couldn't keep it going on my own anyway.
Anyway, I finally found a way to get rid of my plastic bags by reusing them as trash bags. Such a simple thing and I already did that, when I had forgotten to buy new trash bags. But I could really always use them and I do have a lot of plastic shopping bags. Not good. Now I will use them all up and save on the "extreme" price of trash bags. At any rate: I get some space back and have a good use for my plastic bags.
I will also pack my linnenbags (if that is the right word) into my handbag, so should I have to buy anything, it can go in there and I won't have caused more trash than needed. For freezing I will use the multiple boxes I have as well as for storage and food-transport. It all works out.
Now it is time to call my Mum, since she will have finished her nap. All the best to you! Muddleheaded
