Martin has to do a check measure this morning near Redcliffe, so I have decided we are going to tag along. It is a beautiful day and we all have terrible cabin fever from being locked up for a lot of the holidays! It is our last recreational day together before work and real life begin again. I know once I am without him that I will be a lot harder for me to push myself from my comfort zone and go places with the children!!
We head to the lagoon. I am not a big water person - apart from my hot shower therapy sessions. Cold water has never been enticing to me and nor have public swimming holes filled with peeing toddlers! Still the kids love it here and I decide to put my bathers on even though the chance of swimming is pretty low! To my surprise I find myself submerged in the water. It is refreshing and I feel the weeks of heaviness wash off me! The kids are having a ball. Ben is all over me. They need this. I need this!!! I have not relaxed and laughed with my children as much as I would normal do - especially over the holidays! I do not want to leave the water. Oh the magic of water therapy - it really is more beneficial than popping pills!!
We head out for some lunch. Everyone seems content. The afternoon has been peaceful and contentions have been low!!
I drive Hannah and Robert to the airport. They are off to Sydney to join Sara and John. It has been nice having them around for a little while and I am sad to wave them goodbye.
Happy to be home with my little family we all seem content for now.
I need a plan for the coming week - I know it is going to be potentially hard - Tuesday is looming and with it more news!
