It's the Day Before Mother's Day, which means that Husband just left for Destination Unknown, with An Idea (I don't know which part worries me most), and the girls go "EEEEEE GO AWAY" every time I try and open any effing door in the house.

The only room I was still allowed to enter ten minutes ago was the kitchen (because I am baking and my kids are no fools), and then Tadpole showed up and said, OK, mum, now whatever you do, don't look right. And then I attempted to turn to my left and she yelled "RAAAAAAHHHH LEFT! DON'T LOOK LEFT!"

This turned out to not mean that I could, actually, look right. No, according to her I shouldn't look left OR right. In fact, I shouldn't look anywhere at all. I sarcastically suggested blindfolding, and by the way her face lit up I believe she missed the sarcastic part.

Which is when I fled. Right now I am sitting in the library with my back to the world.

Tomorrow morning I will have to wait patiently until the girls are 1) up, and 2) ready to bring me my Explosive Breakfast in Bed, after which I suspect that I'll have to change the sheets, like I do every year after Breakfast in Bed turns into Coffee on My Lap with a side order of Croissant Under My Pillow. I probably won't get any flowers because last week was the Ice Show and THERE ISN'T A SINGLE VASE IN OUR HOUSE THAT ISN'T ALREADY OCCUPIED BY THE FLOWERS THE GIRLS GOT. (No, I am not even kidding.) Also, I don't even like the concept of Mother's Day.

So somebody please explain to me why I am looking forward to this so much? Because dude -- I totally am.

ETA Tadpole: Are you impatient to be tomorrow? Mother's Day?
Me *prudently* yes?
Tadpole *beaming*: GOOD! Because I have LOTS of SURPRISES!
And then Tadpole, my little night owl, got up and said, "I am going to bed now, because I have to be up early tomorrow morning to make BREAKFAST for MUM!"
Awwwwwww.

Adorable! Your family sounds too cute.

Happy Mother's Day, and I hope all the surprises meant for you turn out wonderfully. ♥

Thank you! <3 My girls are very very cute, and Husband is entirely made of win. That's A LOT of win. Also, he cooks and sews, and puts nail polish on the girls' nails whenever they ask. :D

I will post pictures of the gifts the girls made for me tomorrow, because they were adorable and completely hilarious. :D

Because this is the kind of lovely thing that all mothers should look forward too! The outpouring of love and hot coffee that means you're doing a good job =D

(fyi I was randomly thinking about you and the girls while I was standing in the Post Office today.)

If only they could pour the coffee into the mug and not on my lap! :D

It was fun, I will post pictures of my gifts because they were AWESOME! And awwwwww thank you. *hugs*

Thank you, I did, in my own way. Bought my own flowers, because I know them better than anyone. Made my own dinner, because I am a damn fine cook. Cut and sewed part of Emily's prom dress, because it was time to do so and it will be lovely.

Yes, I saw your post and: WOW! You're good! (Husband is the only one who can sew in the family. He sews, I bake; we both like to cook. :D )

Please post pictures? :)

Mum spoiling is the BEST. I am doing it at the moment as Mum had an op on Friday and is now at home recovering. I have therefore relocated so I can make sure she sits still and does nothing interesting whatsoever (poor her!) and get spoiled rotten. :)

So I am glad your girls are so looking forward to spoiling you - I think I look forward to Mum's birthday more than she does normally hehe.

You know, I think they look forward to it even more than I do. :) It was great, though! I will post pictures of my homemade gifts tomorrow, because they are hilarious and adorable.
