As a mother there are a few things that you really look forward to. I love my kids but nap times, going out without kids and sleeping in would be close to the top of my list. This week I managed to get all of the above thanks to the kids having a little holiday at Yiayia’s. Husband and I decided to go out for dinner as it was such a novelty but as we were both tired and made the mistake of going local. We waited over an hour for food and when it did arrive it was inedible. By that stage I was starving and getting grumpier by the second. We complained still paid close to fifty dollars for food we couldn’t eat and left. We went to the video store, nothing worth seeing so we just went home and made porridge at nine o’clock and went to bed.

The next morning was my long awaited sleep-in. I heard Husband get up at 6:30 to go surfing, I heard him leave at 7 and he called saying he had forgotten the keys to get his surfboard out of the beach house at 8 and so I had to quickly get up and meet him halfway with keys. To say the last couple of days have been a disaster is an understatement in fact the highlight of my couple of days off will be seeing the kids and hearing the stories about their trip to the zoo, reading them a story before bed tonight and seeing them peacefully snuggled down under their covers in bed. I think if I didn’t have those things everyday they would be the things I would look forward to.
