life lessons

Things I've learned today.

Lesson no 1:  trees have eyes.

 

Lesson no 2 (a bit obscure this one...):

 

Lesson no 3: sister in laws love handmade socks as birthday presents

 

So all in all a very instructive day.

What did you learn today?

Productivity followed by relaxation makes for a great day.

Serendipity is underrated.

When you've pulled teeth to arrange childcare for a business meeting at Starbucks and you get there only to learn it's been cancelled, you still get a Cinnamon Dolce Latte and knit happily, by yourself.

You made me stop and think for a moment. I learned the art of good distraction - to do something new when the mood is low. I now have a pie crust in the fridge, getting ready to bake 'tarte au citron and my mood is uplifted!

today i learned again that my sisters are also my best friends!

swabbing a mixture of crushed garlic and olive oil in my son's ear made his earache go away.

i love the tree with the eye shot!

Trees have legs aswell. Look at a beech tree where the branches lead off the trunk and it look like a pair of athletic legs upside down!

that a bad night's sleep, unbearable heat and humidity, and pre-menstrual grumpiness makes me a bad mother.

OK I already know that.
But what I learnt today is that I really don't need to insist that my children carry out basic chores when I feel this way. (eg take out your lunch box from your school bag)

I don't have the patience and don't want to spend my afternoon sounding liking an ogre only to have them tell me in 15 years time that I was a mean mummy.

When I eat far too much of the left over trifle I feel sick...no surprises there!

...that I can find a woody eye rather creepy...
...that I love the smell of freesias in my bedroom...
...that I get tired if I go to bed after midnight...

[kristina]

That eye is rather spooky. But the socks are totally fabby--love the stripes! K x

Today I learned once more that I need warm weather...my cold is going worse...
