Here, Now – Fri 29th April 2016
By Jeannette | April 29, 2016
My children make me smile, always.
As per usual on a Friday, we sit around a table and tell each other our “best, worst and funniest bits of the week”. I’ve omitted the word “all” because it’s usually 1/2 to 3/4 of us, but that’s okay, no pressure.
D’s had a good but tiring week and I would have expected her “best bits” to have included her Oliver performances, somewhere.
She’d already told me her “worst bits” on the way home, that her (boy) friend had fallen over twice during their tennis lesson and she’d been worried for him, her saying it as it was fresh in her mind meant that she wouldn’t be re-living it over tea – which she’s prone to do, with any negative memories.
Her “best bit” we’re “now” (ie tea) and winning the “tidy the bedroom” game in tennis (no, I don’t know either). Proof, if ever we needed it, that D is very much in the “here and now”, which is fair enough.
A good way to think, especially given the quote below:
Roll on a looooong weekend 😉
