Mother's Day - Part Two.........

Somehow I managed to leave out the kids in my previous posting.......so thought I should have a look at motherhood.
After all isn't that why we have Mother's Day.

Ya know most cats start off pretty cool

The mother's Day story must start with a meeting of sorts.....

then one thing leads to another and

Generally there is a lot of praying going on after the event either for or against........(I realise this is pretty basic kinda stuff..........I do know about birth control...........)

but regardless of which way the prayers go this is the ususal culmination of the situation:

generally craving unusual foods

After a while the nesting instinct takes over and a suitable place has to be established.

or a

Eventually after waiting a while these pop out

and your life is never the same

They are there with you all the time...you have to share everything.....

A normal size house doesn't seem large enough when they arrive..............

and the bed is no longer yours

They join you in the

And it seems all lovely and cute
Then the fun starts

Firstly they jump all over your good furniture without a care in the world

They complain about food..........

or else want to eat things you don't approve of

They won't bathe when you want them too and wrestle you like hell!

If your lucky toilet training works

and I won't discuss what happens when it doesn't.

Oh and a lot of

and

to save them from

danger.

Then life goes on.........school, friends.........and eventually teenage years where you really wish you could go

You do lots of driving here and there

always hoping you don't find this

and being generally

Oh and that once cute thing can come out with most nasty comments especially after all you've given up for it!

At those moments you just need to go hide and chill out

because IT IS POSSIBLE that the sweet thing may become a normal cat being.

Even if it doesn't just REMEMBER you will always continue being an ultra cool

SO join a knitting or crochet group

AND

Mothers Day, women's work and other things

I seriously do not do mornings which is why on Mother's Day I sleep in!

Then I got to thinking about mothers being housewives and found all these wonderful pictures:

All this scrubbing and suds are sooooooo exhausting....but if I don't do it who will? After all it's my job.

Aren't we two happy girls.....washing and scrubbing our clothes! Right next to my gorgous new fridge. Next my darling is going to buy me a washing machine.

We have sooooooooo much fun hanging the clothes out together. She's gonna really know how to do it all when she grows up to be a housewife and mother just like me.


Bloody Ironing...........................

But now I'm all ready to clean...........Oh I just can't wait!



And I love my new big hoover......get's that dust right out of everything!

Sometimes I even dress up for cleaning.......and I make sure I top the outfit off with a gorgeous pair of yellow gloves to save my manicure. Can't have hubby thinking that my hands would be ruined.

Now down to the meals...........all those lovely things I cook three times a day.........

******but first I must visit the shops, get the trolley, load it up with food and stuff, pay for it, pack it and go home and unload it all! It's such a joy and I can't wait to do it every week!

I can't wait to get into the kitchen....

Though trying to work out recipes can be a tad tricky...........so many meals to cook and they all have to be different....
especially when I am budgeting................

And trying to get it all right so everything finishes at the same time can be fraught with tensions!

Sometimes I just swirl my way round the kitchen and have fun.

And other times.....though I don't say it often.... I get a bit fed up and TIRED especially when I look out the window and see the clothes on the line and know I have to go and get them off, fold them and iron the bloody things......Ohhhhhhhhhh...........did I say that!

and of course at the end of the day when all I want to do is

I have to get ready and..............

Hopefully I think the more modern woman thinks this way............................




though I did come across this one........

so it's still going on......

Sometimes I just want to..................

Anyway onto other things.....

I've done a couple of things in the last fortnight...

A purple pair of slippers just for my toes!



and I finished my Mum's Scarf for Mother's Day...

and I've started a Knitty/Crochet thingy which will no doubt evolve into something or other.........don't ask me what..............it will all become clear eventually. Maybe it will just be a thing that I love doing!

Now I'm off to read a book .................. have at least a dozen that I want to read from the Library!

Eggs on toast for tea cause I had a bang up huge lunch with my Mum and Dad and friends.............excellent........but I'm stuffed to the gills.
