Got out walking again today for the first time in a week and I feel so much better for it. Much slower than normal as I was trying to take it easy....Nick is away and I need to be sure not to wipe myself out for the kids. But I just love it.....my iphone and me and the world! Oh and the snail that made me think of myself!
They're staying till Saturday lunch (an early mothering sunday lunch celebration) and then we have till Sunday afternoon just the 4 of us before Nick is off on his travels....again, poor bloke! Still we're nearly at the end of the travelling and hopefully then things will get a little easier on all of us.
Aha! An important lesson coming up! Learning how to let the in-laws take over for a couple of days... what sort of trouble could they get into in that time? Imagine for a minute that your daughter is married and you are going to her house to 'help out' for a couple of days because she needs a break from her kids... how would you feel if she didn't take the rest she needed and that you were there to provide? It's a gift... enjoy it... So they put the bowls back in the wrong place, or even reorganize your kitchen... keep reminding yourself of the gift - and the fun they might have with their grandchildren... I know you can do this!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better Deb. Snails might be slow but they eventually get where they are going. Enjoy your opportunity to rest.
