Not exactly Sugar Sachet Spanish today. To the great disappointment of the lovely lady at the café her latest purchase of printed sugar sachets yielded no new phrases for me to share with you. That doesn’t mean I don’t have any sayings though for where there is a will, there is (usually) a way.

Donde hay gana, hay maña.

Thank you to Pamela at Secret Tenerife.

Honestly  I don’t know what is wrong with me today. I am soooo tired. I am even experiencing a sense of humour failure over the  antics of my wild child and that is unusual. If anything can cheer me up it is usually  his daft carry-on.

But not today. I suppose nothing is ever all plain sailing. I think I am  relatively calm with the kids but right now, I could see the little beggars far enough. That sounds awful I know but if anyone ever tells you that motherhood is all sunshine and light they are lying through their gritted teeth.

All of which leads me to today’s words of wisdom which happen to be from Plato and describe being a mother pretty well, I think.

Las cosas difficiles son las más hermosas
