Last night I did my regular street pastors rota night. So around 9pm I set off to start the shift and got in around 4.15 am. This morning there were 101 things to do but apart from my needing a lie in, it also happened to be our anniversary and hubby's birthday.
I did get a bit of a lie in (after the kids woke at 7....and we opened the presents.)
The last week was 2 rolled into 1 long week. So today it was stuff the house, the washing and anything else.......it was family time.
I am such a lucky woman....God gave me a superb man to love.
So today was family lunch, soft play ( always a winner) and films.
Housework can wait, work can wait ....family is first today.....Knowing I am truly blessed!!!!

kids - don't you just love them!
I don't know about you but I really enjoy lying down on the floor (normally on the bean bag) at bedtime to read a story..... If I am really lucky, I get to make one up. I tend to have one that is a cross between "mr ben and C S Lewis " where my kids get to go on adventures without me knowing. We have a whole load of people that go with them,
Other nights I read from a book....
The problem is I was recently told to read without my glasses (its my age apparently!) Now that sounds fine, infact liberating....but for my son at 2....mum without glasses is just not right.
If I don't have my specs on he will find them and give them to me.
The other night I was reading a bed time story, took off my glasses and quick as a flash, Douglas grabbed them (to give them back) and....SNAP!
Yes that is right, broken beyond repair. (oh yes and my insurance has expired 3 weeks ago)
Another evening and the beanbag I sit on for stories got covered in milk.... I dutifully wash them only for my darling son to find a bean and......hey presto sticks it up his nose!
(I won't tell you how we got it out)
All in the space of a week - but you know what my kids are just so precious. That same little rascal is just such a bundle of joy.
Please tell me this kind of thing is not only in my family!
