It's been a strange week. Part of me still can't let go and I do catch myself wondering if I made the right decision. I suspect yes, but still... I wonder how everyone is traveling and whether some small part of me, and what I did is missed at all.
I've been lucky in that I've got some amazing friends willing to lend an ear and to hear me out. Hopefully the record will stop soon and I won't end up boring them to tears.
On the upside I managed to go on my first school excursion with one of the kids today, and actually loved it. Also made Miss 9's day which at the end of the day is what it's all about.
So it's one week on...wonder what next week will hold in store?
You know what? If you follow that inner voice, and have faith in yourself, it always works out. I'm sure you will do fine. As for the school excursion? Since cutting back on my workload, I always make time for these. I thought I'd hate it, but I love getting to see my daughter interact with her friends, the teachers are always appreciative, and the kids love it. I never got to do it with number one child during the early years (I had to work full-time, as I was the major wage-earner), and I'm sorry I missed it. Making up for lost time now though.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new journey.
Thanks Bronnie. Three months on and I am definitely enjoying the time I'm getting to spend with the kids. It makes you realise what is really important in this world.
