la_rainetteIt'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.
