Marty and i decided that due to the school holidays, that the girls deserved to not have to get up and go to the shop at the crack of dawn everyday! So we are taking turns at having sometime off.
Today the girls and i had a very big sleep in. I awoke to the sound of silence in the house. Martin had kissed me good bye a few hours earlier, he stoked the fire to make sure his princess were toasty warm. The sun streamed in our coloured glass front door, painting the walls yellow, green and purple. i got up to check the time as my phone had gone flat over night and found it to be 9.36am. OMG, all the girls were still in bed, including Miss Emerson who never sleeps past 7.30am.
Obviously Marty and i were right in that they needed some rest. So they slowly appeared up and in no real hurry to get going, all the while asking if we could go to the park. It was a beautiful winter day, warm even for July. So we eventually made it to the park after visiting the post office, the shop, the accountant and fold 4 loads of washing so i could get into our bed tonight. You know all the normal things you do on your day off!
So with bikes and skates at the ready we set off. The girls were happy to see so many of their friends at the park. They played for a few hours while i continued to watch and sort out our house finance and staff group certificates. Multi tasking to the max!
I think my skin may have gone into shock with the amount of sun it received today, but it was a lovely feeling as I'm indoors all the time. It's starting to feel like we are getting the hang of the work/life balance. That the girls only have such a short time as kids, that we need to make sure we take time out for them!
