Yes...this is ALL about me, and mine. Marvellously self indulgent, feel free to tell me how splendid I am, leave comments, nice ones please, I have little kids and teenagers who can do the rude stuff. I am a grandma, to the glorious Joshua, I'm allowed to look frazzled and weary, I earned it. The older I get, the more I see that hanging on and being patient is worth it! They ( whoever 'they' are) are so right when they say you never know what is around the corner, it isn't always an articulated truck! It is vital to make the time for making memories, friends are the greatest treasure, I love mine. I am rich!

Worth having....

When thwarted in my attempt to sneak out and wander the town on my own for 20 minutes, ( having been at the park for 2 hours) I was understandably miffed. Isaac and Seth came too.
As we walked down the road, Isaac said " where we going?"
I replied " *Sigh* it hardly matters really, does it Isaac, if I were going to have needles shoved in my eyes you would want to come with me"
Quiet for 3 minutes and then.....
" Mummy, when you had your needles in your eyes, pleathe tan we thpend our pottit money?"
HA! Sometimes, it is SO worth having kids.

H said to me today....( because I simply cannot seem to make my head think about dreary things like shopping and dinner, making it that is, eating it doesn't seem to be too big a problem) " How about if I just do the grocery shopping and cook until you are ready" Hoorah!! I bet he spends less than me too, he says if he does he will take me out to dinner on the savings. Husbands are SO worth having sometimes.

Sophie is just being gorgeous lately, who knows what happened but she is nice. A lot. Often and to ME. Hooray, Teenagers are almost worth having sometimes.

Does H give lessons on thoughtfulness to other husbands? Mine could use a lil help in that dept. He is great, but boy, how wonderful that H sees your need to have some time away from kitchen duty.

And I, too, Love the way you can see the silver lining in every situation.
