"Mum..............What would you like for Mothers Day?" HRH asked me yesterday. "What about a nice bunch of flowers or some perfume" she enquired. "Do I have to go and get it too" said Sparky in his Teenage hormonal slightly up his own arse kind of way.
This got me thinking about what I would really like for Mothers Day.................Imagine if instead of your partners and kids being in charge there was an actual Fairy Godmother that Tweeted you and asked you what you would like...............................A social networking fairy that could get you anything..........................................................................................................................ANYTHING!!!!
How about..............................
A whole day where I could eat what I liked without a single tiny calorie gluing itself to my bum, hips, thighs and ankles.......Attractive right!!! Or............................Hugh Jackman whisking me off for a walk in Central Park.....In the rain......................Ahhhhhhhhhhh..........................Focus.....................
Actually my perfect day is quite simple........................Well relatively simple..................OK..................It might be a little far fetched but anyway.........................I would like to wake up to peace and quiet with no Teenagers arguing (I said it was far fetched) then a tray with poached eggs, muffins and a glass of fresh orange juice would appear via the Hubby (the last time the kids made me breakfast I got an orange slice in my tea and Honey on my eggs). After I've finished my brekkie I would love just for once to be first in the shower so that it is hot and not luke warm and rushed like always. I would also like to be ALONE just for once.
The day would continue with a brand new comfy squashy garden chair being placed on my decking with a little table next to it holding a book, a jug of Pimms, chocolates and Turkish Delights (this is in the small hope the sun might come back just for me). And to be honest....................That's it.................As long as they don't argue and keep my Pimms topped up all day I would be one very happy Mummy............................................................In fact I would be so happy I wouldn't even think about Hugh Jackman all day...................................What............................I wouldn't..................................Honestly.
So ladies, what would you like if you could have anything ................Please note............Hugh Jackman is my wish so you cant have that one.
Leave your comments below and I might even let the Social Networking Fairy know your wishes. xxx
If you have enjoyed this blog post and it has made you smile I would love a little vote for either of the below categories (just click on the box)...................................................No pressure but..................................Remember that fairy. xxxxx
I would love a full nights sleep, no arguing and a HUGE glass of wine with lunch. Which both kids will eat even if it does have sauce on it...
ReplyDeleteAhhh the joys of sharing your dinner xxx
DeleteI think this year I would love as delicious lunch followed by sunshine and a lovely walk where we all actually walk (rather than some little person moaning and having to be carried, or falling over and having to be carried, or losing a wellie boot and having to be carried).
ReplyDeleteGod yes, they go through that carrying phase don't they. My youngest was always on my shoulders or being carried due to his ability to lie down where ever and refuse to walk anymore xx
DeleteAwww x sounds perfect ;) I would like a fucking lie-in. and a bath. and some wine. and one of those seafood cocktail sandwich things from wait rose ;) #boom
ReplyDeleteOoooo I love Waitrose seafood sandwich.......xxx
DeleteI would like some sleep and a bottle of Bailey's...... probably actually a bottle of Bailey's then sleep is most likely! ;) x
ReplyDeleteI think that sounds like a perfect idea xx
DeleteSome sleep would be v good as Fia has hand foot and mouth at the moment and is quite unwell with it ;-( great post funny lady x
ReplyDeleteOh no poor little one. I don't think mine ever had that but I know my friends kiddies did. Hope she is better soon xxxx
DeleteA bit of peace and quiet would be ace! I'd also love to have a personal chef for the day.
ReplyDeleteNow that does sound lovely.........Which celebrity chef would you choose if you could??
DeleteI would love a giant bath full of flowers! Diva? Moi? Never!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh a girl after my own heart......There are not enough Divas around so you go for it xx
DeleteI've been quite specific with what I want to my partner.
ReplyDeleteI want the Ferrero Rocher cake :)
What is that.....Where can I get one and do I have to share it.....???
DeleteMy wish is simple, that my 2 and 4 year olds would sleep thought the night for once!
ReplyDeleteThey will I promise....My 2 Teens can sleep for Britain now and I revert to loud noises to wake them up xx
DeleteI had to look up who Hugh Jackman was :) I'll have Jeffrey Dean Morgan and some sunshine. Failing that, some time to read a book would be great.
ReplyDeleteIf only these wishes could come true....Mind you I think my hubby might have something to say is Hugh turned up...
DeleteThis made me laugh! My perfect treat would be to go to bed early and get up late! Oh yes!! If only! x
ReplyDeleteThat sounds perfect..xx
DeleteOh my Mother's Day wish would be to have no arguing (very far fetched too in our house) be tajken out to lunch and then a nice family film all cuddled up together!
ReplyDeleteI cant imagine a whole day without one spat of bickering......Heaven.
DeleteIt would have to be Darren Hayes serenading me with a private gig at home :D His voice makes me melt ♥
ReplyDeleteOoooo yes......A lovely thought xxx
DeleteI would like a day to myself, to wake up in silence take in the morning light, a book in bed with a cup of tea, and maybe a coffee out and a film. Desperately in need of me time! x
ReplyDeleteThat sound so lovely, I know that feeling well xx
DeleteI love this, though I'd really like Hugh Jackman, too! I'd like to boy be woken until at least 7am - lofty ambitions, I know, and lots of hugs, a few pretty stationery treats and perhaps an hour or two of peace so I can read. Oh, to dream...!
ReplyDeleteI love stationary....In fact I think it might be becoming a bit of a problem.......I will send Hugh over to you in the afternoon lol xx
Deletei miust admit i asked for a mums journal but having just one night of from the 7 lil ones to enjoy time with my husband at a spa would be ideal x
ReplyDeleteLove a good journal, I can imagine having 7 must be a very busy day. Hope you get 5 minutes to yourself xx
DeleteBrilliant post Sam, I'm with you on the breakfast in bed and Pimm's all day. A lie-in would be awesome too - until like midday. Reality is the in-laws are over so we'll be walking somewhere and I'll have wine with my lunch! Happy Mummy Day x
ReplyDeleteThankyou Charly, that sounds like a lovely Mothers Day. Have a great one with your little treasure xxx
DeleteI would like lie in (7am is fine as I am used to 5am), almond croissants for breakfast and a full Roast Beef and yorkshire pudding dinner not cooked by me with Pavlova for afters!
ReplyDeleteOOoooooo.......................My mouth is watering now. Roast beef yummy xx
DeleteI would love a carefree day to do as I wish
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely day my darling xxx
DeleteI would love a lay in and woken up with breakfast then a nice hot bath. I would then love a picnic in the woods somewhere with my little family :) x
ReplyDeleteA picnic in the woods sounds so gorgeous xx
Deletehaha! Hugh Jackman would have been my wish ;) x
ReplyDeleteHes just so........................Well............I don't need to explain it to you...............You understand lol xxx
Deletei do hope Hugh made an appearance for you today!?! lol
ReplyDeletethanks for linking up with #MagicMoments xx
So, did you get any of your wishes?! I know I said that "all I wanted was a screen-free day" but that wasn't ALL I wanted! Not so much as a daffodil here *sniff*. My girls both got me a keyring (don't ask) and The Boy had spent all his pocket money on Lego so there was nothing left. My husband is of the mindset that I am not his mother so he doesn't get involved. Sorry for the rant! Hope yours was better :) x
ReplyDeleteI hope you got everything you wanted for Mother's Day. Well almost everything - We need to talk about Hugh Jackman though :)
