Letting Go

My lesson in life today was to just let go. I am so very used to doing everything in my life and for the 2 boys that when someone else comes along and offers help it's a strange concept. Today though I let go enough to let someone help me, although she will never probably know just how much I appreciated it. Thanks Andrea.

Our day began by taking Brandon to Kindergarten. It was still raining and raining and looks like it may continue to do so for some time. I'm a bit over it although I know it's great for our garden. Hopefully the sunshine will return again soon and we can continue our adventures outside. After we'd all been to kindergarten, Andrea, myself and Bailey ducked into the supermarket to grab a few things. We just headed home from here as I had no idea of things to do outside on a rainy day. We played and ate lunch. I made several phone calls to people that I had been wanting to call for a very long time. It's amazing what you can achieve when you don't have 2 small children crawling all over you and pressing all the buttons on the phone. Thanks again Andrea for looking after Bailey for me while I made my calls.

I picked up Brandon early today from kindergarten. The teacher didn't look impressed but then she never looks impressed by me. Oh well. It was nice to just spend some time with Brandon. It was less stressful and certainly easier with just 1 child. It was nice to spend some alone time with Brandon. Andrea minded Bailey at home while I went and collected Brandon. Apparently Bailey fell asleep in the swings outside in the brief moment that it stopped raining.

Soon after, Brandon and I arrived home and Bailey woke up. The 2 boys and I and our visitor went outside for awhile again between torrential downpours. Bring back the sun! The 4 of us then made up some chocolate cupcakes  which were delicious. My dad rung this afternoon to let me know how my mum was going. They hadn't heard from the specialist yet at the time that he rung. Hopefully by now they have some answers as mum went into surgery this morning.  Fingers crossed mum that the news is all good.

Our angel Andrea even went into the pool with Bailey in his swimming class which meant that I actually got to watch Brandon swim. It was great. My husband had bought 4 pizzas for us all for dinner so we all sat down and inhaled the food. Brandon practically fell asleep straightaway where as Bailey cried for about 45 minutes. I ended up getting him to sleep by rocking him like a little baby in my arms and singing Twinkle Twinkle Little star. He finally stopped crying and went to sleep, which is all that matters.

Well I'm off to bed now. I feel like I could sleep anywhere. See you in the morning. Best wishes mum and dad. Sleep well. I'm going to let go and drift off to sleep.
