So true, MJM
Like, this saturday just gone, I woke up with the intention of taxing my car, and taking the kids out for a visit to a car museum. But, when I checked my bank account on the phone, I found that I was in serious financial difficulty. Needless to say, I was in a foul mood.
I told the kids straight away, that it would be best if they just ate their breakfast in the lounge and watched TV, 'cos "Daddy was in a very bad mood, and would be stomping around the kitchen etcetc"...
Anyways, my eldest (6) asked why, and I told him the truth - that as usual, I didn't have any money to do anything nice. Bless him, he said that we could just go to the park, or summat, because that didn't cost any money, and he gave me a big hug.

Man, I nearly cried.

Whenever I'm feeling down (like I am now), all I have to do is think of my gorgeous boys, and I can't help but smile.
They are my reason, and I love them very much indeed.
