The month of May has proved to be a very busy one with a whirlwind of activity taking place on the 11th. You know how that goes...don't do anything for ages and them bam! everything falls in the same week (or in this case day).
I set myself the challenge of entering the Mother's Day Classic Fun Run / Walk. I was so stressed that I would not be able to make the distance that I was having freaky dreams in the lead up to the big day (of course I did the 5km no problems, but my mind has, well, a mind of its own LOL). So at 8.00am on Mother's Day, I was standing around in a sea of pink waiting to give the muscles a good work out instead of being tucked up in bed with breakfast and pressies.
That's me waving with the "what the hell have I got myself into" look on my face! We finished in under an hour and then it was back in the car and off to watch Oscar play the second half of his soccer (soccer does not care that it is mother's day)
Even before the race, we had another very important event - Byron's 12th birthday. So at 6.00am we were up and opening presents and singing happy birthday (luckily we had organised his actual party for Friday night as there is just no way I'm having 8 kids over on Mother's Day).
Lest you think our day was done, think again. After we raced home from soccer it was a quick shower and change and then up to Sydney to my sisters for lunch with all the family. It was a wonderful day and we all took the time to say special things about our mother's; even the kids joined in, which was very sweet and resulted in a few "moist" eyes.
These 2 guys really do rock my world and I adore being their mama (insert big soppy mama happy face!)
We arrived home at 9.00pm and by 9.15pm we were all tucked up in bed asleep...May 11th had finally taken its toll. Ha!
