It's Monday again and as usual I didn't want to get out of bed. But it actually feels kinda nice to be back in school and doing something useful. Every morning when I try to get up I wish I could just go back to bed and slack the rest of the day. But after awhile, slacking around gets boring and I need something to do. Of course, if I had the time I could say I'd spend it all playing EQ and FF7 and my GC. But that's another matter totally.

I had a nice weekend - got to spend some time with my mum which was nice. I spent most of my time with John which was nice too. After voice on Sunday morning I went over to John's place and managed to get a peek at his little niece. She looked soooo cute! Now I've never been a baby person but she looked so sweet lying there in her little cot, her hair all puffed up. Her tiny little face blissfully asleep, oblivious to the pairs of curious eyes looking on as she slept, her tiny little hands in white cotton mittens and her little body tucked safely under a soft blanket. Awwww she really looked like such an angel. John and I even had little gifts for her - he bought her a cute bunny rattle and as expected I got her a little cream teddy bear.

Standing there looking at her sleep it suddenly struck me how amazing babies are. Lying there in that little cot was a new little person - what will she be like when she grows up? It seems incredible to imagine how much potential lies in that one little mind, yet untainted by the materialism, cynicism and skepticism that life seems to imbue in us. Looking at the tiny little person made me imagine how my mum must have felt when I was that small and she was looking at me in the same way. And that made me appreciate her a little more.

Recently I've been too caught up in my own problems and too busy to sit and chat with her much. I know that mother's day should be every day, not just one Sunday a year, but sometimes it gets hard to listen to someone else when you yourself are looking for someone to listen to you.

Anyway, have you hugged your mum today?
