I tried my hardest to channel an earth mother. The 2 big ones made me a cup of tea, the little one a vegimite cruskit. Sweet little presents from their stalls, including a lipstick called Ruby (to give you an idea of the colour) which I had to put on. they did wait till 5am for that request though.

And just FYI, I would've totally bought my 3yo the dummy anyway, even though he doesn't use one either and actually sucks his thumb, but sometimes I just need him to shut his extraordinarily noisy gob.<br /><br />I got to "sleep in" until 6.24am at which time I got to make breakfast for all and coffee for hubby before spending the day painting my older son's bedroom because he wanted it changed, like, yesterday.<br /><br />But the boys DID pick out 2 lipsticks for me from Target, a tube of volumizing mascara (apparently the 3yo is worried about my lack of lashes) & the best part, the gorgeous cards which they signed themselves.<br /><br />So not a day of indulgence, but I did feel like a loved mother! ;)Anj (@anjwrites)http://www.anjwritesabout.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-62333139523452593982010-05-10T12:34:20.202+10:002010-05-10T12:34:20.202+10:00My kids made me go back to bed and made me breakfa...My kids made me go back to bed and made me breakfast. It then took me two hours to clean the kitchen (but they made a mean cappacino with a milky way on the side, and ham and cheese omelette).

The tassel hangs in the dining room which is quite unique. One tassel but it reminds me it's the thought that counts.<br /><br />Hopefully, he can find that other tassel next year. ;-)Crinauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878341013740207800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-39286413854753527522010-05-09T20:45:44.263+10:002010-05-09T20:45:44.263+10:00Oh Kerrie, you just made my day.

Husband did however, warm up toddler's milk for me this morning. Shucks. And so the day began... (Did I mention I received some ugg boots and 2 jumpers? WHICH I BOUGHT MYSELF AND HE DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER WRAPPING?!?!?).

Gifts were also gorgeous. <br /><br />Of course, undoubtedly this is something of a one-off - but I'll take it. <br /><br />Once again - not trying to make you jealous here. *cough*<br /><br />Happy Mother's Day!!!Jodie Anstedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300961546795965857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-21325706731888494222010-05-09T15:57:12.063+10:002010-05-09T15:57:12.063+10:00Kerri, at times I almost feel sorry for you.

I asked "Why are you so happy?" and she replied "Because it's nearly Mother's Day and I can't wait to show you how much we love you". Really. <br />They showed it by letting me sleep till 8, serving croissants by the pool and presenting me with two home made gifts and three delightful ornaments chosen with care from the local reject shop and Coles (hey, the options aren't huge here in Broome). THEN my son said "And Dad said after breakfast you could have an hour on the computer with no-one asking you where stuff is," and my daughter chimed in with "And you don't have to play with us at the beach today. You can just read your book."<br /><br />I am so blessed :) Great post- wishing you a fab one too!Kylie Lhttp://www.kylieladd.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-23377234259026768102010-05-09T11:02:00.914+10:002010-05-09T11:02:00.914+10:00Happy Mother's Day Kerrie, i scored big time f...Happy Mother's Day Kerrie, i scored big time from our school mother's day stall AS I RAN IT!! I organised beautiful organic soaps, the kind you'd want to give a stylish girlfriend as a gift, another mummy (flight attendant) brought back awesome jewellery from overseas. As the coorindator, i put a selection to one side for my 4 children to choose from & bought the rest myself (cost recovery i kept telling the principal!!) It's a win win i tell you. Only two of the children gave me the gifts at 3p.m. on Friday, the other two held out for this morning. Husband even organised flowers to be delievered to a VIP event for me, so i could show off in front of friends, perfect!! Shame he's away, so far i've done 4 loads of washing, washed/ scrubbed floors & toilets, well it's Mother's Day after all - doing what a mother does!! Have fun - i'm taking my 4 grocery shopping this afternoon, just to cap off the excitement.
