Good morning everyone :) Because it is a public holiday today and many of you wont be at work to read my fabulous blog (hehe, biased much?!?) I will shift the regular Motivational Monday segment to tomorrow...I imagine after a long weekend, motivation will be at the top of the agenda! For the rest of us who work for the love of it (in other words, "motherhood"), a public holiday really doesn't mean too much at all. If we are lucky, we have our husbands home but all in all, the household still needs to be run and the kids still need to be cared for. I was lucky this morning though because I negotiated with Mat that he could sleep in yesterday and I would get a sleep in this morning...it was wonderful!!!
Elliott began stirring just before 5am and I ignored him, hoping Mat would register that he was the one that needed to get up and be on duty. Eventually, I just woke Mat up (although I do believe he was pretending to be in the land of slumber) and he tended to Elliott, allowing me the opportunity to drift back off to sleep. I phased in an out as the morning went on...apparently Mat can't see any problem letting the kids play with noisy trains and musical bells while I am trying to sleep in! By 8am, Mat came in and woke me up...I was ready to tear shreds off him because all I wanted was some sleep! But then, he placed a hot chocolate on my bedside table and handed me a plate of homemade blueberry pancakes with fresh strawberries and ice-cream...how could I be made at him for that?!!? He then left the room, closed the door and I sat in peace eating a delicious breaky and reading my book. I did have to get my wits about me and question whether I had been asleep for a week and woken up on Mother's Day...such spoilings are not a common thing around here!! It was such a gorgeous start to the day and I wish all days could start out that beautifully.
One side effect of course is that today is Monday and I was going to start being healthy and exercising (as I say every Monday). But starting the day with that kind of food puts healthy on the back burner and now I will just have to wait until next Monday to start...shame. I am off to eat some chocolate. Yum!! xox
