Well here l am. Its Tuesday morning, kids are at school. the house is silent.
After two weeks off school on their EAster Break, l do appreciate the silence.
I had a great time while they were off and l like to think they had a great break, we did lots of things. I took my daughter to England for a surprise weekend break, her dad took her for her first hike.
i had lots of quality time cuddling with my son. Its what he really enjoys. We went for nice walks around the neighbourhood, well me on foot, the kids on bikes/scooters. We planted flowers, went to garden centres, visited family.
I had lots of play dates for them, school friends and cousins over to visit. The weather was great so they got to have picnics outside in garden with their friends.
I have to admit though, by Sunday night l absolutely tanked. the energy that had carried me through the holidays seemed to evaporate. Im glad to say that instead of battling it, l just went with it and embraced it. There is nothing quite like laying down on sofa with a blanket, lights out and candles going. that lovely state of not sleeping but not fully awake either.
I did the same last night after the kids had gone to bed and l must say that it is such a nice way to wind down after a busy few weeks.
l had a busy start this morning, same as every other mum: school run, putting on wash, making beds, tidying up after breakfast, loading and unloading dishwasher nd washing machine, folding and putting away laundry.
BUT now, its time for tea and toast and some nice music playing in background.
