Seeing as how I am spending so much time thinking about being Good Mom/Bad Mom, I was having a conversation today about work-life balance and remembered that my friend Leo sent me this link recently. It’s a talk Nigel Marsh gave last year at TedX about balance and it is well worth the watch. (Just note that it’s about 14 minutes long.)
This morning was really, really tough for me. Daniel is still not well at all and as I left for work he said: “Mommy, I’ll miss you so much today”. BUT there’s a whole long weekend ahead of us and we managed to have a great catch-up this evening. By Saturday morning I’ll probably be whining about how loud the kids are again!
We are beginning to worry that he might have mumps and admittedly I did Google it to death and saw some truly scary images of children with mumps.
The whole neck thing he’s doing freaks me out no end.
Interestingly enough I started Googling “do children who have had the MMR still get mumps” and I got as far as “do children” when Google very helpfully suggested that I might be searching for “do children go to heaven”.
True story. Go ahead, try it, you know you want to!
We are staying home for easter and plan on a lot of family time and catching up with friends, can’t wait!
We also (hopefully, barring the potential case of mumps!) have our annual easter egg hunt aka a bring-and-eat on Monday which is always fun. This year there will be wine.
What are your plans for the long weekend?
Holding thumbs it’s not mumps! Am off to Swellies on Saturday to see Dad
Me too!! Enjoy Swellies 🙂
I also have a sick kid 🙁 It sucks!!!!
We have no set plans other than putting the shelves for the shop together and just chilling as a family 🙂
