I've had a fantastic but exhausting MD. I've been up unable to sleep since 2am, but my girls came and jumped on me in the lounge when they got up at 8am and piled me up with all the gorgeous cards, pictures and things they've made during the week for me at pre-primary and kindy. I was very spoilt because I also got a kindle, but it pales next to the photo frames made by my girls with pictures in them and "I love you' written all over them.
Went to the local for breakfast with friends and their kids which was lovely. Then drove an hour to MIL's because its her birthday as well as MD. Spent three hours or so there and got the great news that my SIL is 10 weeks pregnant after having a pretty rough run so lots for us to celebrate.
Then another hour drive home via my Mum's to visit her.
Just finishing dinner and will then be needing to get two very overtired, overstimulated girls into the bath and then bed.
This year, today was the first time a real effort has been made for me. And I really appreciated it. Dh went out and bought me a pressie earlier in the week, normally he goes down on the day and gets me something. He made brekky, the girls made the wrapping paper and card. Dh went to work like normal, just a bit earlier thanks to all teh lucky mum, grandmas, and aunty's that were lucky enough to eat the food DH made them.
I took the girls marketting before coming home and warming our toes in front of the fire.
