My sweet Melissa gave me a little hand massager, for my aches and pains, very thoughtful, it is cute lights up when you use it and it does help too, but best of all she sent me an email with a special card which had this cute cartoon teddy bear, opening his arms and it said A BIG HUG TO SAY, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, but best of all was what she wrote at the bottom.
"Dearest Mother,
The best mum in the world deserves a great mothers day, I hope you enjoy your present and know that i appreciate all the work you do for me,so relax whilst i am at work. that mean't "a real lot to me reading that message.

Our lunch out at the buffet meal was very disappointing, the food was extremely fatty, something i just hate, we only got offered one dessert ,nothing else, mind you it was divine i must say that, and the place was freezing, no roaring fire anymore replaced by heat pumps that had not been put on early enough, we were put in the 2nd small dining room, and had to wait a full half an hour before eating, as they let the large room eat first, we really felt like 2nd class diners,( i had booked way in advance too and was not told about these two dining areas)we were told to arrive at 12.30 and did not enter the main dining area until 1pm,(shivering all the time, most unpleasant, and it was one heck of a cold day in Aotearoa on sunday )and the food was not even that hot by then,the chef came around asking about our meal, i was polite but told him it was too fatty for my liking, he said they had tried to lower the fat content and no-one liked it, guess there are still plenty kiwis who love their food dripping in bad fat.

The staff were friendly enough, and helpful, but all in all it was a real let down, and we left dismayed and vouched never to return again.,it wasn't all bad as what we did manage to eat was tasty enough.,but i felt we could have put our sons present money to way better use somewhere else, and wish i had chosen a different venue for our treat lunch.

Anyhow hope everyone enjoyed their day today, mine is well and truly over , it now being Monday down under, and another wet miserable cold day here.

We visited with my mom, and then we went home and planted flowers together. J is quite the digger.

He said to me yesterday morning, "today is Mother's Day and I will call you Mother all day, AND let you do whatever you want, except watch your TV". LOL, we can only watch HIS tv (meaning his shows....no, he does not have his own tv).

It was a great day.

"today is Mother's Day and I will call you Mother all day,
AND let you do whatever you want ...

Begs the question, WHAT does he call you on 'other days'??



Too bad about the TV ... keep lookin for that remote.

I only had to work until 7:30pm (not 9 like expected) so that was a treat in it's self! I had pleasant guests who appreciated my service and tipped me nicely.

When I came home I had 2 cards waiting for me from "the dogs"

I have such a sweet and loving husband

All in all, it was a very nice Mother's Day.

Oh man, Anna. Where did you find that husband of yours? Almost made me teary eyed.

[wolf_Q]

Love those cards Anna! How sweet! My dogs didn't get me cards for mothers day.

To those who asked about the Spiral Jetty....we didn't get to go. On Saturday my parents truck got taken out by a tire that came off a truck driving in front of them. They are fine but the truck is not...and what I've read says 4-wheel drive recommended and that was the only 4-wheel drive vehicle we have. :/ Hopefully we'll make it another day.

Not Mother (which he pronounces, Movfer).

Mommy, mommom, mommy-becan (no reason...LOL), my given name, ()...anything a 4.5 year old can think up!

LOL I always called my mom mommy too hahaha. When I was a teenager it drove her crazy when I would walk around a store trying to find her and call out "MOMMY" HAHAHA people would always give us funny looks.

I forgot to mention...

Hannah went to preschool on Friday and they made some lovely mother's day artwork.

It's a piece of paper with her hand prints in purple and a picture of her and a little poem that say :

sometimes you get discouraged
Beacause I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls

but everyday I'm growing
I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away

So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small



I have it proudly displayed on my fridge
