9 March : Daffodils


MrM has a delightful habit of filling our diary with treats and interesting outings but the time allocated to sleeping has been squeezed recently. I worry about how I am going to do everything and sleep. I have noticed that if I do not get enough sleep I am distrait. My Zen guru advises that the root of my stress is that I am too attached to the concept of sleep and it is true, I am very attached to the concept of sleep, I cling to it fiercely. I think that I need to learn to say 'MrM, we are behaving like irresponsible teenagers, it is time for us to act our age. We can watch Countdown and go to bed at a sensible time.' but I don't think he is going to take me seriously. While I ponder this conundrum I sit in my sunny kitchen with a mug of tea and enjoy my Mothering Sunday daffodils.

  4. As Tess says, teenagers sleep in late, sleep after school, tuck sleep into spare time everywhere. Then they wake up all bright-eyed and bushy tailed in the evenings. Have fun :-)

  5. Nice to see you celebrate 'Mothering Sunday' which has been somewhat over taken by Mothers Day.
