I think I blog partly out of loneliness. Whilst I have some amazing friends, I miss the consistency of having one person to unburden to every day. So that is my blog instead. I do have to catch myself tho - sometimes I find myself thinking things would be so much better if I wasn't the only adult here, but it is easy to think things would be better if, rather than focus on what is good about the what actually is. I cut my hand yesterday trying to single handedly get stuff from the garage to my car for the tip, and the temptation is to grumble that I shouldn't have to be doing this by myself. But the truth is, even if I lived with 16 other adults I probably would have just done it by myself anyway and still hurt myself.
My son has just left for some male bonding time with his Dad. Us girlies are still in PJs and tho I'm really hoping we make a start on emptying the pool today, maybe we will actually do very little this morning. And we have lots of choc rice crispy cake left over from the cub disco :)
Thankyou for listening, for caring about what I'm up to. I hope you too have a lovely day (cue Bill Withers).
Going to see the illuminations on the way back from picking Abbie up from her film club was not one of Ben's better ideas, seeing as how it was 8pm on a saturday night. She and I are going to try again nearer midnight and see if we make more progress. She's hoping for chips, and taking her joke book in case there's still loads of traffic. I'm trying to go with the flow but have to be up to lead Sunday School in the morning...
