Good Day to Stay Inside

It is raining this morning and will probably continue through this afternoon. Then scattered showers until tomorrow. They are saying tomorrow is going to be a lovely day as is Sunday which here in the States is Mother's Day.

It will be my 5th Mother's Day as a mom. Peter and Caroline are taking me to one of my favorite restaurants and I promised to make pancakes for the whole family before Ariel goes off with Myra. Other than that, I think I will be working on a couple of projects over the weekend. I like being a Mom. It is the toughest job one will ever love. As I got in to my mid-30s I started to wonder if I was ever going to be one but then things happened and here I have a 4 year 5 month old in front of me having an adventure with a pirate ship, some ponies, and Diego (from Go, Diego, Go) who are off looking for a lost treasure at the bottom of the sea so they have to find Tortugas the sea turtle to help them find the treasure. I love it. Later I have promised her that we can paint together which she loves to do.

I have come to the conclusion that Caffeine Addicts should not skip their minimal dose even for a day. I didn't have any coffee yesterday and woke up with a whiz-bang of a headache this morning. I have been nursing a cup of coffee and between that and the Advil, I can slowly feel the pain just starting to fade away. With any luck the second cup will bring me back to normal.

I am grateful for a clear head.
