Until we leave for Regina!
I am already lying sleepless at night, worrying about travelling with “J”. Will I have all the necessary tools to keep him occupied, will I remember his special blanket, will he eat the lunch I pack? All these questions and more have occupied my mind for the last three or four days.
My Sister is raring and ready to go. Our plans include visiting two very special “Kids” cafés, they are cafés that have a play center for kids on one half and a café on the other half. You pay $2 per kid and have to pass through a locked gate to get in or out of the building. Your kids can play while you get a break. I can’t wait to check them out.
We are also scheduled to visit Chuck E Cheese, as we don’t have one here in Ottawa, “J” should love it. He is a game lover at heart.
We will be going swimming. Possibly to the hot springs in Moose Jaw. And to some sort of play park. All that and more I am sure. Once I get past the plane ride and travelling without hubby, all should be good on our visit.
To all the wonderful Mom’s I know and to all the wonderful Mom’s I don’t know, I wish you all the best of Mother’s Days.
May your family be kind to you and treat you like Royalty today.
May your kids pick up all their toys, without being asked.
May there be no squabbling about anything you ask them to do.
May you get breakfast, lunch or dinner in bed or at least made for you.
May you get to watch an adult program of you choice today without interruption.
And may you enjoy the day fully with perhaps even an afternoon nap thrown in for good measure.
Whatever you end up doing today, may it be filled with love from your kids, because that is what Mother’s Day is all about.
I was officially tagged by Nancy for the five’s meme. So here I go…
Five things in my fridge:

5. Two bottles of Stella Artois, for when I finish my garden.
Five things in my closet:
