i salute all you mamas out there

to all the amazing mothers out there, you are doing an amazing job -
though unpaid in monetary terms, abounds in heart-swelling joy and love...

and you know what?
i slept through last night as my gift to mama!
which is exactly what she had wished for
and to top it all off dear papa
made her brekkie nosh up of eggs, beans and toast
and she will get another present come 21 july
when she can collect the last harry potter book
actually my sleeping through was pretty amazing
as my lower molars are coming through
and i have been pretty out-of-sorts the past week
so see... i do listen to my parents when it actually really matters!

finally, for posterity's sake - mothers' day 2006 and 2007
do you think i've changed much???
