Mumma is mine.....

I do wish I had been one of those organised and far sighted mothers who recorded all the sweet little things that the children said as they were growing up.  Often now those cute sayings come to me and make me smile.  Also, I am, getting a good deal of new ones to add to the repertoire from the grand children.  Should I be recording them now so that as my brain deteriorates I will have them on record? Perhaps I should start that off very soon.

One night, on Mother's Day in fact, one of my boys kindly offered to rub my dear old aching feet which sometimes swell.  (I think he was motivated by the swollen ankles that day.)  Of course his enthusiasm  waned in short time but the kids were all making jokes around that ad on TV where the islander lady is giving a massage to Rhonda (The highly acclaimed driver from the  AAMI insurance ad for those who do not know).  The masseuse is giving a wonderfully vigorous foot massage and tells Rhonda that she has a great brake foot!  The other ladies come flocking around trying to get Rhonda's business but this determined woman says possessively. "Rhonda is mine.  Rhonda is mine."

When my son ditched me my 3 1/2 year old grandson came over and began to ever so gently rub my feet.  "Mumma is mine" he grinned up at the older boys,  What a precious little man!

An hundred times a day I have to smile at the questions and sweet observations of the little folk around me.
Can you credit that the twins will be one in another few weeks??!!  They are running everywhere now and particularly the little princess is saying a few words.  She is a little feisty.  Her blue eyed brother is a much more laid back nature but they can both roar if they feel they are not being heard or understood!  The littlest grandie is like a koala.  Very cute and cuddly.  He is crawling everywhere and pulling himself so will not be left out for very much longer.

We were without the computer all last week.  It was a good reminder to me just how much time can be frittered away in front of the screen.  However, I sit here now and feel I'd like to stay up late and catch up on all the blog posts and articles I have missed in that time.  I hope to get to read at your place soon :-)
Since there are five of us who use this poor old computer, time limitations are always a factor.

Wishing you all a wonderful and productive week.  I know that I have a number of appointments and my mum has a small op this week so there will be interuptions but Lord willing, we will cover all that is necessary.

"But what does the Lord require of thee but to live justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
