The gift of kids

Feeling horrid today............My head aches & my chest is so heavy & i have a serious dose of sniffles.I have had a cold this last week or so but today i just feel like blahhhhhhhhhhh .................Darragh is much better tg,back to his normal self running us ragged....lmao.I am so looking forward to scrap by the Lee next weekend (i can ill afford it ....but live dangerousely i say...roflol),Neasa g/f you better be coming up here..Such a pity it is a one day event....Good cause to support though......My Auntie had one of her breasts removed so i always support the cause.Well today my dd caught me off guard,normally she can't keep a secret for a minute let alone a whole week...She bought me a fabby gift.She got her secret sister from America to go out & buy me this set.I love the nanas kids papers & she got me the pack...I just love it (typically yesterday they reduced the price of it...lol).The papers are so beautiful ,all textures & glittered just so cute,she has also ordered me the 12 x 12 paper block i am sooo lucky to have such great kids.........When rearing your kids you never see this rainbow at the end as it is such an everyday struggle but the rewards are priceless when you achieve your goal with them.I am a very lucky mum,they were never an ounce of trouble ( meaning drunk,bringing the law to my door ect) lots of fun & sooo giving to eachother also.Didn't see that coming when they were younger & just wanted to kill eachother rather than share the remote,share the same space....roflol.Looking back now ( sheessshhh it was only like yesterday i was struggling rearing 3 of them) time just honestly flew by & i remember my mums words so clearly..."tomorrow will come all to soon" yep & here it is the famous tomorrow when they are all grown up with their own spaces, their own lives ,their work & their own plans for the future,but i have to say they call home everyday to make sure we are both ok ...how sweet...Hope it continues when i get old & cranky....actually i am there now....lmao.
