Well, now I know I have had enough…
This morning I dropped the kids to school in a bit of a daze as my husband flew to New Zealand for work – leaving at 4am. After that I took the dog for a walk and then had a meeting with my accountant about end of financial year. Coming home I tried to open the house door by clicking the unlock button on the car key remote! Oh well, I think parents need to break as much as the kids!
I know my kids are tired and ready for a holiday whereas all I can think of is how am going to get my work done? Just maybe the break will do me good and inspire me to do greater things on the return to school? Who knows, all I know is even though I can’t imagine fitting everything in, a certain part of me is hanging out to read books with the kids in PJ’s on lazy mornings and having the perfect excuse to put away the laptop for a while. I know it means I have to work at night and I am blessed that I am my own boss but I really do think that children can be the best creativity incubator on the planet. It is amazing what brilliant ideas have been thought up over a challenging lego creation. You just have to look at the head office of Google and like companies to know it works.
I’m off to play…
