Wrapping up warm: Feb 14 2014 #mumism

Todays mumism made me chuckle. We were out for a wee bit of fresh air and I was wrapping her up & tucking her into her wheelchair...

Mum: For goodness sake will you stop it - people with think I'm your aged mother!
Me: Or maybe just my mum?
Mum: Don't be daft you're near enough my age

Juggling: February 8th 2014 #mumism

Tonights mumism...after a erm challenging evening of trying to get her to come home. It's tough visiting dad sometimes as because mum used to live there she still feels it's home. The thing I find most difficult is respecting her feelings while at the same time having other things that really need done - like picking the kids up.  Because mum doesn't remember that she doesn't live there anymore so doesn't understand why she has to come with me and so clearly, in her mind, I've a bee in my bonnet and it's not her problem!

Mum: I hope to god my daughters don't turn out like you!

Sometimes all you can do is laugh...we got her home and she's snug as a bug and forgotten all about me being the cow from hell now.  Tomorrow is another day...

Being Grumpy

I am tired and grumpy. The end. Pfft.

Acceptance : January 12th 2014 #mumism

Todays mumisms quite touching. She's the woman who taught me through example about acceptance.

Mum: I don't think I'll have any children

Me: Why not?

Mum: My age mainly...I'd like to have children but I'm not going to set myself up and be disappointed. If it happens, it happens.

Bless her...if only she knew xx

Respite funsies: January 3rd 2014 #mumism

We're off for some weekend respite funsies...

Me: come on and well get ready to go out.
Mum: where to?
Me: to an activity place for older people
Mum: for people over 60?
Me: Yip
Mum: Oh no, Im not over 60

Back to the drawing board

Wedding bloomers: December 11th 2013 #mumism

Todays mumism is a corker. My lovely friend was over and we were chatting about her forthcoming wedding. She had a photo of her wedding dress in her phone (gorgeous btw) and she showed me and mum...

Mum to Joan: Oh that's a lovely dress....I can't say the same about your face.

Lmao!

She did go on to explain (after we were howling) that she meant she couldn't see her face. Still brilliant though!

Aging: November 3rd 2013 #mumism

Tonights Mumism...

Mum: You keep in good health not like me, you're lucky.
Me: well your a wee bit older than me, who knows what I'll be like when I'm your age.
Mum: Nooo, there's not much difference...maybe 5, 10 years..

Didnt like to ask if I'm ancient or mums a spring chicken!
