Good morning, everyone! It is Mothering Sunday in the British Isles so that means I will be treated to TWO Mother's Days this year. Owen had his friend, Josh, over for a sleepover last night. When I found out that it was Mothering Sunday today, I called Josh's mum and asked her if she wanted to change the date. Her response was, "Not at all. This is a brilliant Mothering Sunday present for me!" She is a single mom of two boys and I can TOTALLY relate! Can I just say that Owen and Josh are friends for a similar reason - personality! But I just might ask her to take Owen overnight on the US Mother's day - heehee!
They awoke very early to fix breakfast in bed and woke me around 7:15 to serve it to me. So much for sleeping in on Mother's Day! However, I do want to say that my mini-me look alike eight year old is going to make some woman quite happy one day. I was served porridge soup (a little too watery milky instant oatmeal but edible and yes, Owen calls it porridge), four half slices of toast with butter and cherry jam, a cuppa tea with milk and sugar (just right actually) all on a tray with appropriate silverware and a napkin. I was duly impressed. It is 8:55 am and Craig is taking them for a bike ride until Josh's mum comes to claim him around 10 am.
Happy Mothering Sunday to all.
