Or as we said over a glass of wine last night:
Me- "Life's a funny old thing."
Sharon- "Mmmm. HEEE. Larious."
So to all you Mothers out there, whether you get chocolate or not, whether your family remembers or not, whether you have fun plans or not, whatever ages your kids are, whether there is poop smeared on the toilet seat or not, whatever your spouse has been up to, remember: Our kids have made us what we are today. Exhausted and crabby maybe, but also wise, special and loved.
Happy Mother's Day to us.
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.

I hope you were duly honoured and feted. I know I was. I provided all the acoutrements myself. I really miss those construction paper cards.
oooh thanks for the reminder to go and clean that shit off the toilet seat.
Hope you had a wonderful day
