#Mothers

Sooner or later we all quote our Mothers.

Good Morning to Saturday...2nd, 6.12, 10.8dg, rain, wind, thunder, lightning and on and on. Monday they say will be a sunny day...perhaps.This morning I think I may have turned the corner.. gave up and had to go to bed yesterday after I had cooked lunch for Mama, and back in bed at 20.00....That horrid flu thingy where your skin is so super sensitive that you can hardly wash and dry it. It has been a challenge trying to do your best and smile through it with so much to do in a limited time when you would prefer to curl up in a corner and pull a blanket over your head. New day and feeling as though there is some gas back in my tank again. Back in the saddle with boxes a plenty, so after a lost day for which I think Mama may have been grateful, we can get going again. How do you explain to a little sparrow that her 20 years of daily diarys cannot fit into her single bed resthome room along with all the other things she is choosing to take with her. Answer is you don't, I have stopped trying to make her be moderate in her selection and will just box it to go to ChCh and then someone else can worry about it. Fact of the matter is that by the time she is settled into her next home she will not probably be that interested in reading back through her diarys but the thought of throwing all that written historical life away is something she does not want to do at the moment. Me.. well I am not so attached to things thank goodness. I will leave it to my sister and brother in law to have to store it !!!  Today is Saturday so we can get on with shifting some of the unwanted S and D that I have thrown into the garage out to the dump and deliver all the boxes to the Sallies. Rotary are coming in this afternoon to uplift all the boxes of books for their annual sale so we will have a touch of order semi restored to the house.
My Mother, like many Mothers has many little sayings... I found myself saying something to her yesterday as I was delivering her to the hairdresser for her weekly do.. she looked at me so I said to her " Well didn't you always say that to us ?" Silence.
