Another good day. It must be the weather. Now it has finally stopped raining and the children can go outside and play, I'm seeing a huge improvement in both behaviour and attitudes, and that includes mine towards them. I do like this little group as individuals, but it is very hard to be ever-loving, ever-patient when you feel literally under attack. It's been a good couple of days, and let's hope they continue.
I've been on the booze at 10am for two mornings in a row - an Ash Wednesday service followed by a lovely mass at Lucy's school this morning. In the car, Lucy gave me some helpful hints about how to behave during her school communion. There is a lot of standing up and sitting down, and if I don't know what to do, I should just watch her, as she will be doing it right, and there is a lot of singing, and I must just have a go and practise with her at home. I'm also not allowed to talk or go to the toilet. I like to think I acquitted myself well.
It's Lent, and a season of self examination has begun. I don't intend to indulge in any long blog posts about religion or how mindfulness has changed my parenting; I will probably mention some of these in passing. No chocolate Lent started woefully, when I helped myself to a Jaffa Cake after church on Wednesday. Ho hum.
I'm going to sit in front of the television and do some knitting. I doubt I'll have any time to do any sewing; I might just have to carve some out next week.
March Madness - 6/31
