For some odd reason, our current heatwave combined with the awful humidity mucks up my airways and makes my asthma flare up. So, I'm wheezing around like an elderly teakettle lately and not in the very best frame of mind. Also, Madge grabbed at my earrings the other day and managed to get them both in her bill and give a good yank (I have double piercings). So, I've also been whinging about infected ears because the el cheapo earrings I usually wear really needed to be replaced with decent sleepers so the ear could heal. Grrrrr! Bad mood!
Yesterday, hubby and I spent the day out shopping. With a lot of effort, we finished the Christmas stuff and got home too late for dinner. When we arrived, my darling children had cleaned the house (including three large bird cages), hung out the washing, put the dinner on AND bought me two (2) pairs of earrings. All this they did without being asked, just because I'd been having problems and they wanted to help out.
It's times like these that remind me how very much I love being their Mum! Thank you, Mattanelli!
Tonight, I've made them a huge pile of shortbread and a fruit cake (both of which I loathe) by way of thanks. Tomorrow, I'm going to make a Big Fat Chocolate cake so I can join in the eat-fest as well.
