Just a good day

I’ve had a bit of an indulgent day today. I had a facial and even let the lovely beautician sell me some stuff for my skin. I currently have pimples and wrinkles (sexy as) and my eye brows and upper lip were out of control.

Thanks to my beautiful mother and Mr 4s awesome day care I had five whole hours to myself. There’s been a lot of backlash lately about parents whinging about there kids so heaven forbid I be one of those ungrateful parents. So I want to preface the following list by saying I am very glad to have my children back with me tonight but surely one is able to enjoy a break.

Here’s somethings I enjoyed today that in a former life I would have taken for granted:

• Doing a poo without anyone bursting in asking me to fix something, solve an argument or get them a snack
• Completing whole thoughts in my head without anyone screaming at each other.
• Eating a delicious meal without anyone asking to ‘try some’
• Listening to whole songs on the radio in the car without having to turn it down so miss 7 could tell me what she just did in Mine Craft.
• Having my brisk walk without anyone stopping me to sort out their argument or tend to their wound.
• No loud crying anywhere

I am a better mother when I work. Even though I work with children they are not my children. Only your own children are sent to test you (haha).

With not much work and it being school holidays my children and I have had a lot of quality time with each other. Which was great and then we got over it and just started yelling and whinging at each other. So we took a break and now I’m writing this in the bath while they stand in the bathroom eating ice blocks. Kinda shitty relaxation but that’s ok.
