I had a really odd weekend, Robbie went off to his dad's on Saturday and the children were out and about doing their own thing, even the dog was out! I am not used to having time to myself, there were hundreds of jobs that I could have done, but I got side tracked and spent a relaxing couple of hours sorting out my jewellery and finding a better way to store my earrings. I like jewellery but I don't wear it very often so it was nice just to remind myself what was hidden away in my jewellery box. I enjoyed the luxury of time to myself, but I had to drag myself back to reality to get on with my writing work, prepare a meal and as always 'mum's taxi' was much in demand.
Sunday morning was quiet, Laura went off to work, Emily was out and Sam didn't emerge from his room until much later. There was nobody to wish me a happy Mother's Day until Emily got home later on, Sam eventually managed to wish me a 'happy female care givers day' (I wonder about that boy sometimes!). I had a number of phone calls from Robbie, but it was a luxury to listen to the omnibus episode of the Archers in peace.
Later in the day I went off to see my mum and then to collect a very talkative Robbie from the Station. He'd had a lovely time at his dad's, he'd seen many family members and he had 'topped up' his accent and was talking even faster than usual. It was now clear why he didn't want me to go with him, I would have cramped his style, he admitted to drinking far more than was wise and knowing Robbie what he admitted to was probably an under estimate! Anyway when he got home he smelled of stale alcohol and smoke (other people's smoke) and he was pointed in the direction of the shower as soon as he got home! Even so it was nice to have him back.
