Thank you Kin for thinking of me.
Well a lovely 4 day weekend has started. Work has been crazy and I’m glad to be having some time to get things done around the house but also a time to relax (I hope)
It’s interesting, Easter time was usually busy for me with the kids, but this year my daughter has gone away, my middle son is working every day and my youngest son is with his girlfriend!
I miss having little kids, the excitement of Easter bunny or Santa, the early morning squeals when they realise they have been left
something….then waking us up to go see!
I missed a lot when I was gambling, i didn’t hear them. Of course I didn’t know this until I had finally asked for help. The realisation of it was quite devastating. My daughter was the most affected. We have had many conversations over the last 16 years, first apologies and attempted explanations, trying to describe how I felt, that it wasn’t her fault, that is wasn’t her! Now when things are brought up, which isn’t too often anymore she says it’s ok mum. She is truly an amazing woman, one of the kindest people I know. Thoughtful with others always, and grateful for her wonderful life, she knows just how fortunate she is, she has a hard working husband and they have built a flourishing business and a beautiful family together. She is everything I hoped she would be and more. I couldn’t be prouder! My middle son was married last year…bizarre when I think he was 10 when I found GT and now he is off with his gorgeous wife. They are so in love and starting out. Working hard and saving for their first home. And my baby boy is about to turn 21…this kid is finding his feet, he didn’t cope well in covid, kind of shut down so we are working on his confidence and making some decisions for his future. He currently works with his dad and I’m not sure he likes it that much but he gets up
And goes so that’s something. He’s quiet, I worry sometimes as he isn’t a big sharer with anything really but he has good friends and a lovely girlfriend who makes him laugh.
So I guess theyre all off doing their own thing now. I have a few busy weekends coming up so I’m grateful for this time to get things in order. Boring as it may be it’s nice when the housework is done and I can sit with a cuppa and relax. I am however going to see ZZ top next weekend, I’m sure many of you here won’t know who they are but it was the first big concert I went to when I was 15 and it’s their 40 year anniversary! It’s going to be a blast! Having a sleepover at my brothers too who I don’t see very often so even better! There’s 6 of us staying there it should be a fun night.
Well enough blabbering….i hope you all have a safe and happy Easter, boring isn’t so
bad you know, I don’t miss that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach one little bit.
Take care, love K xx
