Today :
- I know that I am more than a little teensy weensie excited.
- I know that when I say "See you just now" to A this morning, it is true !
- I know that this has been a great week. One of those weeks where, even though some things haven't gone to plan, I've been able to go with the flow and all has been well.
- I know that I am looking forward to the long weekend.
- I know that K and I had a great conversation last Friday night when we driving into Surfers for her to drop me off to meet with CrashTest Mummy. She said "Mom, I don't want to grow up like you." and, do you know I was soooooooooooooo happy to hear her say that. I can't think of many other things she could have told me that would have made me happier !!!! I don't want her to grow up like me either. I want her to grow up confident and self assured and capable and strong. I want her to grow up believing in her ability to achieve whatever she wants. I want her to grow up and be out there - not in a nasty way - but in a way that says "I'm here. I'm strong. I'm confident. I can achieve anything. Don't mess with me because you may land up being sorry."
- I know that this will probably scare some people off but that is OK, she is very stong willed and needs to mix with people who can deal with that and not let her be in charge all the time.
- I know that I am looking forward to going to a Suns game with A on Saturday - it's been too long since he has been to a game. What would be even better is if we beat North Melbourne (which I think we could do if the stars align !!!)
- I know that I love brightening someone's day - I have got sooooooooo much pleasure out of this project - I am finding it quite hard to hold back and pace myself.
- I know that I am loving the new blogs that I have come across recently and the new connections I am making on Twitter / Instagram.
- I know that I love the way the universe works.
- I know that I may not be on SM much this coming week because sometimes living IRL is more important.
- I know that my awesome on-line friends will be here for me when I get back and will totally understand me not being around while A is home.
Have the best weekend and I will see you when I see you !
TFTD : It's the hardest times that teach us the most valuable lessons.
HURRAY! He's home! Enjoy yourself this week lovely soaking up your time with A :)
ReplyDeleteI totally get your conversation with K. I hope my girls do the exact same thing.

Thank you my friend ! It's good to be missed ! I thoroughly enjoyed the time with A but am pleased to be back connecting with my on-line friends.

I love that you want that for your daughter. We were brought up in a time when it wasn't acceptable for women to be strong and outspoken. I want my daughter to be as noisy as she likes. x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely R - my Mom is so often astounded at what she percieves to be strength in me whereas I don't see it like that at all. I see the strength in K.
DeleteHave a great week !
