Takings and about great women
Here are most of the takings from yesterday’s hunt. Miss Fab’s scores are missing as they went straight into the kids room and in her special piles. Total came to about $27.

Last night, while we were browsing through and enjoying our sushi rolls, Miss Fab picks up the red book, that one from near the top of the stack in the left picture and asks me:
“Mum, are you in here?”
Said in a non-ironic, loving, fully knowing I am not, but she thinks I ought to be way.
It took me a second to figure out what she is talking about and then I had that soul melting, self gratifying realisation that she still sees me as Great. And I wondered when or if this will cease to be at some point. I cant say I have met many grown ups that still think that way about their parents and in this case – mothers. I am not even sure its possible.
Do you think yours is a great woman?
What Miss Fab said about you is so beautiful and I think that if you have that kind of relationship now, it’s only bound to get better and deeper as she grows.
As a child I used to think my mum is the most perfect, most loving and beautiful person in the world. As an adult, I see her with all her imperfections, in a very human way, yet to me she’s still the greatest, she’s my closest girlfriend and I feel so blessed to have her as a mum. I love my mama more than ever! :)
Vanya, I love hearing about relationships like yours. Be it with a bit of envy as a daughter, but It gives me some hope as a mother.
I thought my mother was amazing then I changed my mind when her rules didn’t suit my teenage desires, now that I am an adult and a mother, she is my absolute most favourite woman in the entire world!!!
I think my mum’s a great women – although we had our ups and downs while I was a teenager – things now just keep getting better and I’m getting to know her in a different way – more of a friend and someone to just hang out with! it’s really nice ;-)
Must be nice…
Nina, I think you have been lucky in the family department in general. Couldnt have happened to a better person, though.
