A Little Better

21/08/2013 by Alison Asher 8 Comments

Coco was still home from school today, her eardrum is still perforated,  the iPad is still lost, or found, and now living in it’s new home,  (I hope the new owners are having fun playing in all the Minecraft worlds that Coco and Liam have lovingly created over the last few months.) and my frown lines are still as deep as ever.  Yet somehow, today was a little better.

Today, the sun had to work a little harder to warm up the Sunshine Coast.  But it was worth it once it did.

Today I overcooked the eggs a little, so they weren’t quite as runny as I’d like.  But they were bright yellow, and yolky thick and tasty all the same.

Today I had to do four loads of washing to freshen everything up after all the musty sickness of the last week.  But the wind blew and blew and everything smelt fresh and sweet once I got it off the line.

Today Coco painted her own fingernails whilst I was in the shower, and smeared colours all over the white leather chair and the tiles.  But it sort of came off, and she was so proud of how she looked, that it mostly outweighed the vague pinkish blur that remains.

Today Liam taught me how to play chess, and it looked like he was going to win.  But I lured him into check with my rook, so I STILL RULE.

Tonight I wasn’t concentrating, and burnt yet another pot to a smoky cinder.  But when we had to evacuate to the balcony for some air, my neighbour threw me over a home grown lemon, then we spent time looking at that fecund moon.  Liam swore it was green.

So even though my day today hasn’t been perfect, it’s been a little better.

 

How has your day been?

Have you looked at the moon?

Some Days…

20/08/2013 by Alison Asher 6 Comments

Some days you wish you had a blog.

You’ve spent ages thinking about it, wondering if you should or could.  Wondering how to do it.  Wondering if someone can help you.  Some days you think you might even try and do it yourself.

Finally you take the step, and the very day onewomandigial.com.au lets you know the page is ready, and you can go ahead, is THE crappiest day you’ve had in ages.

You’ve been up all night with a crying kid, had to reschedule your entire work day to look after your little charge, you go to the doctors, get home for the doctors, realise you’ve left your iPad somewhere, go looking for it, don’t find it, get home and almost collapse with the sheer dismay of it all.  You want to cry, but you don’t, because some days, the tears just won’t flow.

These are not the days you were thinking of, when you were thinking of starting a blog.

Some days are just like that.

And then,

on those days,

you remember that your ridiculous husband knows just how to make you laugh.

And some days, that is enough.
