Damn, I wrote this post a LOOOOOONG time ago and never published it.  Probably because I drank that crappy Shiraz and forgot i had created a blog...

Tomorrow is Mother's Day.   I'm going to be woken up earlier than I would like, first by the seagulls and then by Baby C who REFUSES to be gotten out of bed by anyone but me.  At that first moment of awareness I will remember that tonight I had the better part of a bottle of marginal Austrailan Shiraz and will probably not so much enjoy the first 30 minutes of my day.  But I will get up, smile, open my paper bag wrapped gift that big Bro made at school, eat my undercooked eggs and burnt toast and heartily count myself lucky that I have the two most wonderfully perfect children in the whole universe and a damned good husband as well.
