What a mixed bag I had today. It included a funeral, new sheets, Halloween costumes, milkshakes and spiders. It reminded me that, really it is my kids who give me so many happy moments, if you let them.
In the morning I went and purchased a new doona cover for M2. Tomorrow I will collect the one on order for M1. M2 is desperate to get that on, the anticipation is beautiful, a definite happy moment.
In the middle, I did some grocery shopping, including picking up some Halloween "stuff". This has caused untold excitement in our house, because this year we are going trick or treating with 4 other "kids" for the first time. And then, they are coming back here for a party and dinner. Excitement all 'round! Another happy moment.
After the middle, I went to a funeral (with M2 in tow) to support an extended family member. I didn't really know the person who passed away, but I still shed a tear. My Mum also came with me, so it is a shared experience, which I believe is essential to family life and history. Afterwards the three of us went for a coffee and milkshake to regroup. The rainbow after the rain. Happy moment # 3.
At school collection time, I brought home an "extra" - she plays well with both M1 and M2 and together, they all had a wonderful time trying to scare each other with the plastic spiders I have bought in preparation for Saturday night. Moment # 4.
I also enjoyed a really good cup of coffee, a chat with a friend and had my husband being at home with me for a third night in a row - a rarity of late. Now it is time for bed.
So many happy moments.....I hope you had some too!
This is a blog about my life, it probably won't change your life, but I find it a good outlet. I have struggled with motherhood at various times for lots of reasons, but love my two children to bits. My husband is my rock and without him I would be lost. Like most mums, I am trying to find the balance between working, being a mother, wife, friend, school mum and whoever I am. Sometimes it all comes together really well, and sometimes well. Hope you enjoy reading my ramblings. Sooz xx
My hubby made my tea this morning. Makes such a difference in the morning when I'm usually trying to get kids ready for school.
