I’m not going to write my usual bitch ‘n moan style post about the school holidays as I’m not feeling it this year. E and I have had some hard days, but we’ve moved on and had some totally kick-ass days too. Those days make it all worth it. Being 10 is hard but I think after a lot of talking and thinking on both sides, Ethan, Dave and I have landed at a good place to kick off Term 1. One of the most amaze qualities I’m noticing in my big boy at the moment is his ability to completely separate whatever feelings/frustrations he has going on with his Dad and I, and still lavish heaps of love and attention upon his little brother. Nixon is so lucky to be forever under the wing of such a natural big bro.
Dave is heading to Wellington to work for the next week so the boys and I have some fun activities lined up that we will mix up with low-budget days exploring and beaching. Aside from the l o n g days of solo parenting when Dave’s away, I’m feeling a bit stressy about my running – I won’t be able head out first thing in the morning for 5 days! I’m such a massive creature of habit that the thought of running at night once mum gets home and it finally cools down kinda fills me with dread. To say I’m inflexible in my routine is a bit of an understatement! This weather has made for such a stunning January it’s been easy to maintain my little goal of saying ‘yes’ and milking summer for all it’s worth. The flip side of this {of course there is always a flip side right?} is that my blogging motivation is lacking, but I’m definitely not beating myself up over that. It’s not the season for me to write, but I have been working on some exciting plans and partnerships for the months ahead, things are ticking along at The Best Nest and I’m so excited about 2015!
That’s all, go forth and may your Sunday be maxxed out with awesomeness!
