Thank you Helen, yes I enjoyed my Mothers Day very much! I took my pain pills, pretended I was fine.....visited my favourite sister-in-law in hospital....she has 3 blood clots on her lungs! (She will be ok...... :-) she is a toughy!)
Then I did some shopping with the kids after cold toast & coffee in bed....it was yummy!
Then we cooked baked chicken & vegies and pavlova for dessert! YUUUUHUMMM!!! Oh....for those who don't know it's a famous and favourite Aussie dessert.....a huge meringue, piled with whipped fresh cream, strawberries, bananas, kiwi fruit & passionfruit. It was a wonderful meal because we got to share it with my parents who have just moved back to town recently. It was the first Mothers Day I have shared with her for about 10 or 12 years!
My dad is also a chronic pain sufferer & we exchanged groans & moans & pretended we were fine all through the meal! LOL It was the best visit ever.........I hope everyone gets to make the most of this special day, count your blessings for they are many. We NEVER have to look far to find someone suffering in a different way to us....and then we think....I couldn't handle that....or Oh! I'm sooo grateful it isn't me!
Happy Mothers Day.........
cheers love & Hugs, Jo
