well i had one of those days yesterday. the day started off ok ... we all had a really big sleep in even emma, that made me happy. i did a few jobs around the house ... played lego ... chatted with brendan whilst he painted the back deck, played boardgames with mitch whilst emma enjoyed laying on the mat in the freshair .... and then BOOM it hit me. emma didn't want to go sleep, mitch wanted all of my attention, i still had paperwork to do, vacumming, mopping, dinner to organise and i just lost it. tears were streaming down my face and i couldn't stop them.
emma pretty much cried the whole way through dinner, brendan kept asking if i was OK and mitch told need that i need to take Swiss - because i am tired and stressed .... gotta love that kid :) he managed to put a smile on my face.
once i got the kids into bed and they were sleeping, i just sat on the couch with a nice cup of tea and caught my breath ... thinking that tomorrow is another day and it doesn't matter if all the jobs don't get done. what matters is i got to spend the whole day with the ones i love on a beautiful sunny Australia Day.
so today i have three extras running around, housework to catch up on and lots of paperwork to complete. in the back of my mind i keep telling myself, 12 more sleeps until we are all relaxing on a beautiful island, hoping that this will get me through my day.
i'll leave you with an image of our Australia day yesterday.
take care
love bec
