By 10pm last night, everyone was in bed and we were all set for a good night's sleep. This was going to be the smoothest Sunday AND Mother's Day, ever!
Then at 11pm Jorja woke up. I rushed to the bathroom when I heard P-J ask her why she couldn't hold her wee in just a little longer to reach the bathroom! Poor girl was distraught about the mishap and the crying just got louder, which then made her already tight chest even tighter! Through semi-closed eyes, we changed clothes and mopped up and then tried to get her back to bed. All the while, little brother slept in his cot... Small mercies, I say!
Jorja migrated to our bed quite early this morning and the duvet wars ensued. By 6am I was up and Ethan was back down :) Jorja and I bathed, ate breakfast and got dressed. This day was on the up again.
While I was making her bed, she called me, "... Hey Momma, um... Happy Merry Christmas? Hey Daddy, what must I say again?" (whispering, whispering, whispering...) "I mean, Happy Mommy's Day!"
Thank you my special girl.
At 8.45am we loaded into the car. That's when Jorja started a coughing fit again, and we watched, helpless, as the Adco meds did what they were supposed to do - get the gunk out! I plonked Ethan in his seat, and ran for the dettol water to clean the car. (He was not happy about having his meal sidelined!) Another outfit change later, we were ready to exit the driveway.
And then the car wouldn't start...
Friends, that wasn't even 9.30am yet and the day had already experienced a little bit of everything!
With every passing Mother's Day I think I get just a little closer to learning about my role as a Mother!
