Nothing like a poo explosion to get the day started. Now I am not talking your average run of the mill dribble out the top and sides of the nappy...oh no, this one was epic. Poor Elliott decided to poo whilst sitting at the bench having breakfast and there was nowhere for it to go except down. By the time I smelt it and realised what he'd done, it was pooling in the foot of his pjyamas! EEEEWWWWW!!!!! Oh yeah, the joys of motherhood.
If this had of happened yesterday, it's likely I would have curled up in a ball on the kitchen floor, assumed the fetal position and cried uncontrollably. But something magical happened last night resulting in one patient and happy Mum today...a blissful night of uninterrupted sleep! I clocked up a whole six hours and feel fantastic for it! Amazing how well we can function when we have a few hours of decent sleep on board. More amazing is that evolution has not caught up and created some way for Mother's to function on only three hours sleep. Although, what evolution has overlooked, Science is probably working on as we speak. A tablet to give Mum's endless energy would be worth a small fortune to the drug company that invents it...so if you are a scientist reading this, get on to it!! Oh and you will probably want to work on some sort of female viagra too, just in case the "awake" tablet doesn't work out...sleep deprivation will do little for the continuation of the human race you know!
Anyway, it is Friday and this weekend is Mother's Day. Those of you who are lucky to be able to spend it with your Mum, let her know how loved she is. Motherhood really is the most underrated, unappreciated job on the planet but ironically, it is the most important job ever to exist! So really think about doing something special or saying something special to let your Mum know how loved she is.
Those of you who have Mother's in Spirit, I assure you that they will be close by this Sunday (although I am positive they are close by far more often than that!!) Tell her how much you love her and miss her...you might feel silly talking to "yourself" but trust me, she can hear you. And if you sit still and quietly for long enough, you will hear her whisper back. It may be goosebumps up your arm, a warm touch on your face or even a light flickering away...Spirit are always trying to communicate with us but we are often too busy to listen. Talk to your Mum and listen out for her whisper back. She loves you and misses you just as much as you love and miss her.
Much love to you all and I hope you have a fabulous weekend xox
