MOTHER’S DAY GOES BOTH WAYS

Oh my life … is anyone else out there as excited about tomorrow as I am?  I’m a daughter AND a mother, and so I’m both giving and receiving tomorrow.  If I know my daughter – and I think I do – there will be cake and hugs involved, and if I know my sons - and I think I do – there will be a ‘surprise’ visit from one (doubtless with a bag of dirty washing in tow) and a slightly panicked, last minute phone call from the other.  In the old days I used just to ask for no arguments, and someone to do the washing up.  Nowadays, I will love spending time with them, whether in person or remotely.  And as for my mum?  I shall make hay while I can and visit on Monday, for more cake and a lot of singing. Both of which make us both inordinately happy.
