When a Mother gets Sick

On Friday I woke up with an instant head cold. There was no slowing working up to it - it was like BAM it hit me and hit me hard!! I shouldn't complain - compared to some people and what they have to go through a little cold is nothing, but we all know that when you're a mum and you get sick - there is no boss to call! There is no temp to come and do your work and most of all there is no rest! Well I did rest a little and that's why my ironing pile is so huge!! I won't show you the rest of the house because that would just embarrass me more! 

But to make a sad story end well I was very very lucky when Dad - who actually had it quite bad himself, said to me on Sunday night that he would take the kids somewhere for me on Monday to give me a break! My eyes did light up and all of a sudden I was feeling well again! All the things I could do! Dad suggested going shopping or something..... but I had a much better idea! I would spend the day cleaning! ( I think I have problems!)

So not only did Mum and Dad take the kids out for the day - but they took Leigh and his family with them - and brought home about 400 really great photos! (Dad and Leigh both have really good cameras!) So I was very happy! Thanks Mum and Dad xxx (And Leigh!)

By the way - I didn't get all my ironing done but I did get LOTS of housework done. And I do have to confess - while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing the bathroom floor I thought to myself.... "Hannah, you are a freak, there are so many more creative things you know you would rather be doing while you have the house to yourself.... why the hell are your scrubbing the floors!?" I just had to do it though - I knew my week would be better if I did... that's me!!! 

I'll post some of the good photos soon!
