We’ve had school holidays here and though none of mine are in school it does mean no kinder, no playgroup and no work for their grandmother. I’ve had a little holiday at home with the kids having a holiday with their grandparents. As soon as the kids left I went a little crazy pulling things out of cupboards and cleaning and sorting and vacuuming. It was as if as I had to get as much done as I could while I didn’t have little people calling me every two minutes. I was on warp speed and then by dinner on the second day I was done. I crashed and pulled out a book and then another. I read till two in the morning slept in and then read in bed before getting out at eleven and reading some more. In 24 hrs I read 900 pages, something I haven’t done in ages.

Tonight the kids came home, I gave them kisses and tucked them into bed. I read a little more and then quietly snuck into their room and stood there; listening to them breathe and watching them sleep. Having kids made me look forward to cleaning, something I never thought would be possible and not having them around made me realise how bland life is without them.
