I shouldn't complain. Life has been good recently. Things have been going my way, and then... I woke up today, tired, like I've been all week, but it's that time of the month again, so no surprise there. I woke up knowing that all the plans I'd made for the weekend had gone, due to my sons father failing to have him as arranged. But still I woke with good intentions and with the positive thought of ignoring the date, Friday 13th May. I woke up, cooked breakfast, blogged, did the things I needed to do. Then came the first hiccup, my CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check which I need to work with children, has expired. Not a problem you may think, just get another one done. But in the UK you can't do it yourself you have to find a company willing to do so for you...mad but true. Because this has expired I couldn't hire the room I need to start my classes next week, even thought I am never left with any child alone, I have parents or Nursery Nurses with me. I sent out emails to try and resolve my issue as soon as possible and got on with my day. I decided as I was tired I would knit, it is the perfect meditation. I ran out of the wool I am using, so bang went that idea, but I ordered some more online and looked for a new project. My day today has jolted from one hiccup to another. I know it's partly due to me feeling low and tired. I know it's partly due to the Universe kicking my butt and making me line up my ducks, but sometimes I wish the Universe would give me a break! So how did I make my day better, how did I turn those lemons to lemonade... I helped a little girl who was playing outside my flat and cut her foot, I bathed and dressed the wound. I allowed my son to watch programmes that made him laugh before bed, and let him listen to his favourite audio book. I bought myself white wine and fresh fruit and settled down to watch television whilst chatting to my friends online. All in all, despite the hiccups, my lemonade tastes good and life feels pretty OK. |
