[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 357789, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. It's been a lovely Mothers Day here today. husband & I took mother in law into the heart of Sydney today to go see "Calendar Girls" on stage. We left mid-morning to make sure we got in there in time (after my difficulties with city traffic yesterday) and to also get a parking spot. I know the city well and we found a parking spot within coo-ee of the theatre. We then had a leisurely lunch in a cafe in the Strand Arcade (a lovely place, beautifully restored to colonial grandeur) and then walked back over the road to the theatre. I had my mobility scooter (so I could lend it to mother in law if she needed it - I could have walked) and she had her walking frame. She stubbornly stuck to her frame and wouldn't use the scooter, so I zipped here and there, checking out which was the best way to go and I found the cafe for lunch the same way. A wonderful performance, proceeds to leukaemia research. We really enjoyed it, talked about it in the car all the way back home. I must admit, I did feel the connection to cancer treatment a bit close to home. The play is mostly funny, but all the pathos that there is, connects to cancer. And right now, that is close to the bone. Perhaps that was good for me - I need to be sure I am really in touch with what is going on, and not simply burying my head in the sand over it all. When we got back home, we collected up our various leftovers, cooked some rice and headed to mother in law's place to throw something together with leftovers. While we were out, difficult child 1 tried to ring on my mobile to wish me a happy Mothers Day, but we were out of range. However, he rang as soon as we got back home. difficult child 3 told me easy child had rung and also at the same time wished me a happy Mothers Day (at 7 pm!). Then difficult child 1 rang and talked to me ("Happy Mothers Day!") and after we got down to mother in law's, easy child rang down there and there was another short chat. So all my kids remembered, again. Although I think there was some reminding going on. easy child 2/difficult child 2 wished me a happy Mothers Day yesterday evening. Tomorrow it's back down to earth, well and truly - I've got my cleaning lady in early so I've got a load of washing set to run overnight. I have some sewing to begin on tomorrow, I have to begin working on costumes for the play. We bought fabric for it all yesterday. I want to get as much as possible done before my radiation treatment starts. So tomorrow I have to really get creative! Enjoy your Mothers Day! At least as much as a difficult child family can let you... Marg [/QUOTE]
