Is a holiday good for you?
Well of course they are but:
I spent the whole week before we took off to Spain saying “This time next week we will be round the pool” and discussing with my two children (aged 6½ and almost 4) how many sleeps it was until we went, perhaps I shouldn’t have discussed it at story time in bed. It was their first time on an aeroplane and I was making them so excited, I was reliving my youth – who’s the kid! Isn’t that what parenting is all about?
We had a fantastic holiday, we really chilled out and relaxed around the pool. As thought we did spend many a day round the poolside and we also went to the beach. The kids loved it, water babies, I thought I had swapped them in for a couple of fish. Our only stress was that the supermarket near to where we were staying wasn’t open on a Sunday so we had to eat out – broke my heart!
14 days later the kids are now missing their friends and are quite keen to get into their own little beds.
Now we are back…
What have I been doing… this time last week we were by the pool; this time last week we were at the beach; this time last week we were dining out; and this time last week we were having a BBQ.
Hopefully time the weekend is here I shall not be using this phrase anymore and will be getting back to normality entirely.
I must say, it is nice to be back but I would like to be going back say perhaps next week! We stayed at the Lemontree Farm in Andalucia, Spain.
So do you think holidays are good for us… answers on a postcard please!
