Thank you

I get so fed up of being tired and grumpy, that sometimes I forget that the extra effort it takes to pull myself out of the bog, often is very much worth the result.

My kids are so young and I worry everyday that I'm not doing justice to their little souls. When I'm low they annoy the hell out of me and I'm so afraid of the impact showing my frustration could create. They adore me, unconditionally (but how long will that last?). In the foggy mess I can be harsh, my reactions quick, my tongue sharp and my patience paper thin.. Not always aloud but the silence often bubbles into an adult tantrum...

Making those gingerbread cookies was therapy, not the gruelling task I had made up to the point of utter dread.

I should give my kids.. And myself more credit, more often.

This weekend has been fantastic. NearlyHubby has enjoyed himself, house tidy and clean, friends over for dinner, laughing... Fun!

And all it took was gingerbread cookies 💖
