Big question.

Let’s DITCH Mother’s Day isn’t going to happen. So, what do I want for Mother’s Day this year?

• A lie in with my book and cup of tea

• Pizza

• A nap

• Peace and harmony, instructions followed first time or even no prompting required

• Diamond earrings

Reality of my list:

• I feel terribly guilty not getting up in the morning even if I am really ill. Chris works so hard all week that I don’t feel he should have to shoulder a load of child care on top of that when he does get time off. He has been thrown into the deep end of family life and I respect the amazing care he takes of us all. So if I get a lie in with my book and cuppa I wouldn’t want to stay in bed past 7am.
• Pizza: I have a feeling this is achievable 🙂 I have been experimenting with a range of wheat free pizzas (review coming soon!) and have ordered the one I want to come in our grocery shop.
• I justify my nap with combining it with Zach’s feed but again I don’t want Chris to feel lumbered. Luckily the older kids are more independent and can play on tablets or entertain themselves (very proud of Matthew’s reading 🙂 )
• No arguments, no nagging, no unreasonable requests, no puppy dog eyes to pull at the hear strings. Sounds easy, right? Hmmmm we’ll see…
• This is a cheeky little extra I thought I’d add in. It is my ambition to have a pair of diamond earrings. I do not expect Chris/the kids to buy them for me. I’m actually thinking I might like ones with 3 stones to represent the 3 kids (another reason not to have any more 😉 ) and I think Chris would have a panic trying to choose what he thinks I’d like best. I would also feel uncomfortable receiving something expensive (and then the pressure would be on for Father’s Day) so I’ll probably get them for myself when I’ve saved up.

What would your perfect Mother’s Day consist of?
