I've also let go of worrying about how much time I am/am not spending time with the kids, it just sort of happens now, and then other times I just let them get on with it, which I think has actually been pretty good for them. I'm also dreading the end of the holidays, the boys will really miss each other - and I will hate going back to that school run routine!!!ATO Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283109498023417784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673402557605809259.post-21774858895254232392012-08-29T22:37:49.224+01:002012-08-29T22:37:49.224+01:00Hi,

I'm really pleased for you. <br /><br />I really need to try and take some of your advice to 'let go'. I feel so wound up and frustrated a lot of the time with pressure to keep on top of everything from ironing to quality time with the kids. <br /><br />I wish the holidays weren't coming to a close. :-(Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777201989424159161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673402557605809259.post-21978762799567624502012-08-29T15:04:38.441+01:002012-08-29T15:04:38.441+01:00Poor you, that sounds rubbish!!

Add to that how hard it is to avoid adverts for things that apparently we can't live without, and contentment does become a struggle with all the effort to block that stuff out!! Thanks for your comment and I wish you a day of being able to ignore all the nonsense!!ATO Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283109498023417784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673402557605809259.post-37164105988140007512012-08-26T09:32:32.547+01:002012-08-26T09:32:32.547+01:00Jaffa cakes for breakfast - I would've loved t...Jaffa cakes for breakfast - I would've loved that when I was a kid! No wonder your boys are happy. I think contented parents breed contented children but of us (me included) struggle to be content with what we've got. Why is that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
