Happy Mothers' Day!

If I were boss of the world there’d be a parade on every street, in every town in every country today, honouring the wonder that is Mothers. It’s a job that has no lunch breaks, no knock-off time and no annual leave. It’s hard and it’s wonderful, and it pushes me each day to be the best me that I can be – the most patient, the most loving, the most organised, and the most fun.

The rewards are always there, even on the crappy days. There are cuddles and laughs, and moments when you realise how much your baby loves you and trusts you above all others.  Knowing how much my own baby needed me used to terrify me, but now I realise that love enables you to rise to any parenting challenge, and that just as he’s growing up and changing, so am I.  So this is my shout-out to all you Mammas, you rule, we rule, we’re all completely awesome.

On another note, am I the last one in the Internet world to discover the FFFFound website?http://ffffound.com/

A friend told me about it last night and I think it’s a really great image-sharing site, good for a quick browse if you’re looking for some inspiration or something nice for your eyes to look at. Since leaving Facebook (I’ve been clean about 5 weeks now), I’m definitely more aware of the things I like about the Internet and the things I don’t. I think it’s fantastic for sharing art and information, and this site has reaffirmed my belief in what great stuff clever humans can do with the net.

Here’s a cool image I found on it yesterday.

And check out this one. How handsome are Johnny and Kate?

Check out FFFFound if you were like me and a little late in picking it up. Sweet Dreams to all, and to my own Mamma, I love you, thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for me.
