Today is Thursday. The day that is referred to in this household as ‘my day off’. I love my day off. On my day off I get up, feed, dress and pack up all the kids. I drop almost 2 year old Miss Rose at family daycare at 8.45, then 4 Year Old Miss Jade at preschool at 9am and take 3 month old Miss Grace with me to get the groceries. After that I race home, feed Miss Grace, unpack the shopping, and get to enjoy my indulgence of the week......
A lunch that someone else makes for me and a couple of precious hours to myself while Miss Grace naps.
It is absolute bliss, and so very very quiet. At least until 2pm when I start to miss the big girls so I race to start the dinner, sort out the washing and head off to collect Miss Jade and Miss Grace, unpack their bags and rush to give baths, dinner and get everyone off to bed so I can spend an hour or two with Dear Hubby where we get to complete a sentence and eat chocolate biscuits (although if I’m honest I usually fall asleep on the couch at this time and DH has to wake me up to remind me to go to bed or go to the crying baby).
Before I had kids, I would have needed a day off after a day like this....
