Having a wee cry.

As the title suggests I had a wee cry today.

Not for bad reasons.

For entirely good reasons.

I received a lovely email from a dear friend.  She reminded me how cool my kids are.

Now I shouldn't need reminding.  I love my kids.  Would do anything and then some for them.  But sometimes they drive me to despair.

Like for instance when my daughter appears off the school bus with no shoes.....

Me "I hope your shoes are in your bag"
Miss 5 "Yep"
Me "They aren't on the bus?"
Miss 5 "Nup"

Next day - racing to get to into the car...... no shoes.

Thankfully for her she'd left them in the school cloak bay.  Because I so KINDLY reminded her (the entire drive to school) she needs to be RESPONSIBLE for her things, MONEY doesn't grow on trees etc etc etc you get the general idea.

Anyway back to the tears.

So this email reminded me why I will go into bat for my kids, why I try to do my utmost for them and why I love them so very much.  And like I say it wasn't anything I didn't already know.  It was just someone else reminding me.    

And thus I wept.

(Yes I'm a big sooky la la)

What would Johnny Depp do?

There are times in my day where I happen to glance up and see Johnny....................

He has his stare fixed on me....................................

............................................. from the calendar that is.

Awkward (am not a stalker) moment.

And in these across the room moments, usually brought on by an exasperated 'count to ten' time out, a thoughtful reflection, or just day dreaming - that i wonder how would Johnny Depp deal with this?

I mean if his kids are arguing, what would he do?  (Or what would his nanny do?)

If he catches 5 minutes of peace and quiet.....would he clean the windows or read a book?

If his mind wanders.....where does it go?

What would he do if he realises he didn't get anything out for tea?

How about the horror of discovering your down to the bottom of you undie draw because you've been working and haven't done the washing.......Johnny - WHAT WOULD YOU DO? (buy more?!)

I know, I know these are earth shattering questions for a mega celeb but does he ever have to deal with the small stuff? 

And the answer?

Well next time we are chatting, I'll let you know.
