Happy Mothers Day to all you stressed, depressed, slummy mummy's out there.
On the day, find time to transform yourself in to an Angelina Jolie-esque vixen. Put on a push up bra, (obviously if you are breast-feeding it may not be possible), wear big, (bug-eye style) black glasses (it's not just an A-List Vicki thang) paint your finger nails and apply mehndi. If nothing else will stop you doing the housework - this will. (In fact I have a long standing right wrist complaint and my husband still does nothing around the house- even when it's really bad. Perhaps it will effect his masculinity in some way- I have yet to discover what it takes for a man to help out once in a blue moon?)
Anyway if all else fails. Leave the house promptly, arrange to meet some girlfriends or go to the Gym and sit in the Jacuzzi. Anything; but refuse to do the housework. Go to the In-Laws. Your kids will be happy and you can relinquish sole responsibility for your brood for a few hours.
Use mothers day as a reminder that you can have one day off in a whole year and look forward to the next one.

Happy Day
Love
xxxxx
