Mothers Day 2012

Mothers Day 2012.

I awoke on Mothers Day to Xavier waking me at 5.30am .  Trying to adjust my ears and mind to be "Excited" about the early wake up; after all it was Mothers Day , you can imagine my horror when he said " Mummy I think something is wrong , I can't see".

 As I switched on the light, there was my angel with an eye completely closed and swollen like he had gone and spent time in a wrestling ring over night.

For those that don't know me well , my ability to stay calm in a crisis is not great.  Let's just say that  when the powers from up above were handing out the calm gene - it completely skipped me. 
I answer with an " OH MY GOD...." and Angel answers with " Oh No, I'm going to the hospital aren't I?  And I know what they are going to do.  They are going to lay me down on a bed, take my eye out, replace it with a glass eye and then I'll never see again".
I must say I was taken back with his knowledge of the glass eye bit.  Can't say we have had "The Glass eye" chat.

Anyhow, somehow I found some calm and suggested he pop some clothes on and Dad will take him to the local Emergency Dept which is not a hospital. It's just a Dr's room that happens to be situated in the same building as a hospital.

Of course his response was " But what about the Mother's Day presents I got you?"  So we meet half way. Our lives are a continual series of negotiations in this household.

So he got changed, and I opened my beautiful heartfelt gifts from all 3 Boys .
 Xavier carefully chose socks for me and bath crystals from the School Mothers Day stall. 

"Here are some socks because your always saying you cannot find socks.  Here are some bath crystals for us all to share in a bath and here are some mints for your stinky breath in the morning".

Roman was a little more subtle.  "Here is a necklace because you never wear jewellery and you should, and here are some rose petals that turn into soap as we never have normal soap only liquid soap".

And Samuel was simply sweet . "Happy Mummies Day , here's a pwant (plant) now you make pancakes, I'm hungry".

I am pleased to say that Xavier's eye turned out to be an allergic reaction and my boys happily ate their way through many pancakes.

I do want to thank my Boys for making me feel so loved.  My Husband cooked up a delicious roast lunch and encouraged me to take my own Mum shopping.

I had the perfect Mother's Day.  Healthy Children.  What more could a Mother ask for?

Must go now,

Need to wear my socks , jewellery, whilst bathing in my crystals and holding my plant :)
