School has been back for a week or so, nursery too. I have been back at work for a week and the familiarity of hectic mornings, being super organised are slowly creeping back (along with forgotten mobile phones, school books, thermos full of coffee etc…).
I am also remembering how to savour the down times, spend a little time with the 3 kids, and getting my subjective hat on to work out how to discuss complicated topics such as ‘do dinosaurs speak french?’ and ‘I can’t go to bed, I’m allergic to sleep’. Then realise I have to prepare dinner and plan the school lunches for the next day. I love cooking all the time, but when forced too I realise I am cooking ALL the time. I must admit I do like a freezer full of back ups and kids snacks and meals so a lot of it is my own doing….
