How Lucky Are We!

My kids woke up extra early to give me my present, i knew what it was because the youngest gave it away yesterday, but i pretended i didnt have a clue, i unwrapped it, and they watched my face as i pretended to act like them when they unwrap their presents all excited, the main present was a foot spa, as they thought im so busy and so stressed at times i needed to unwind. Youngest told me how much it was and where from, the other two told him off! He just cant keep anything secret!

Their card was full of kind words but especially 'appreciate' how wonderful! they do appreciate me, they do love me, they do know all that i do for them, they do know that i put them before all else.

My children are growing up fast, and ive more or less raised them on my own, even when their father and I were together he was never around, working away or just spending time doing his own thing.

I feel i am truely blessed to have them, even though at times i feel like tearing my hair out when they argue, or dont do as they are told, or havnt done their homework on times, but kids will be kids, its on days like today where you think of the meaning of 'mother'.

Its on days like this when you think even though their father was the most horrible person i have ever met in my whole life, and made me utterly miserable for so many years, atleast something good came out of it.

Im smiling again now as i sit here and watch my youngest with his feet in the foot spar, he chose the present by the way, i wonder why!!

Dont you just love em!
