This was a long week. Definitely one of the longest since I’ve started my job three years ago. There was too much uncertainty. Too much going on at the same time. I was learning a lot and all remotely while the kids were at home and needed my attention, too. It was hard. But the release did happen and as soon as we confirmed that things were ok, I took both the kids and we went to a local bakery to celebrate. We needed to get out of the house and I needed some good food and some chocolate and I wanted David to get anything his heart desired as he was so incredible all week. He not only was quiet when I asked him to be but he also helped with Nathaniel the whole time. He’s my angel.
So is this one.
When we got there, David got to have a big chocolate cake all by himself. And mango juice and I ate a warm sandwich.
Even Nathaniel got to gorge on puffs after he had his dinner.
After that hour, we were all happy with tummies full of yummy food. We came back home, played some and they all went to bed and I am sitting here and enjoying my TV. This three-day weekend will be nothing but rest, art, family, and relaxing.
May you have a fantastic one.
Note to Self:
Sometimes when you think nothing’s going right, things just come together magically. Have faith in those moments. Have faith in life. Things have a way of working out. This happened to me twice this week. Once for work, once for a magical trip that looks like it might be happening…I need to have more faith.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. The release. I can’t believe it actually did happen.
2. My son. Both my sons. But especially proud of David this week.
3. I am grateful for chocolate and its ability to make me feel happy. Chocolate and coffee. Life is not the same without them.
That sandwich looks amazing – pickles are one of my favorite comfort foods. So lucky to have such wonderful kids…I need to hold onto the idea of faith this week. A rough one here, I’m afraid, lots of downs and few ups. Congratulations on “The Release”.
