Yesterday afternoon was perfect. We painted flowers with water colours with our toes in the sand and enjoyed a picnic dinner at sunset and it was divine. Leaving the beach the challenges began. Kids screamed for about 30 minutes because they did not want to leave the beach and their friend. Then when we got home India decides it will be really funny to runaway and hide in our village in the dark. Took me 30 minutes ( 30 minutes seem like a lifetime when you think your child is unsafe ) to find her. in the meantime her sister and Roxy went looking for me. Took me another 15 minutes to find them. Pregnant and distraught I lost it. Everyone went to bed feeling pretty miserable and sandy and basically looking at Mummy like she is a nutcase. I feel asleep without setting my alarm and missed not 1 but 2 ferries this morning so now I’m late for my hospital appointment. My lord, the rollercoaster life of being a parent at it’s best in the past 12 hours haha. I laugh now as I’m finally on the ferry and trying to calm myself from the mayhem but it was not funny, not at all. I will say “thank god it’s Friday” but any parent would know we are not safe on weekends either ?
