The Gallery: Relax…
Today i am joining in again with The Gallery linky hosted on the Sticky fingers blog. It’s been a while as it happens…maybe because this linky starts in the middle of the week and i seem to get really busy on Wednesdays.
But this week the theme resonates with me a lot – Relax…I don’t really know how to do that…
I am always surrounded by my kids and my family. They are all quite demanding so it’s quite hard to relax.
Before i had my girls relaxing meant that i would get away from everybody and everything , sit on a bench in a park and watch the sky or just people passing by without thinking of anything in particular.
My life after kids is different though…if i walk into a park is to take out my girls for play.
Instead of just sitting on a bench i need to look after my girls and even play with them. Mostly with my eldest of course although my 8 month old is more and more demanding at the moment.
Now even i sit on a bench while my girls are playing nicely there is always something in my mind – “oh i hope that boy will not play too rough”, “what should i make them to eat again? i can’t always give them the same everyday..”, “i hope she will not have an accident again as i couldn’t face walking home with her screaming AGAIN”, and so on and on and on…
These days however i relax mostly after my girls are going to bed for a nap or for the night sleep. Then i know that is just me and if i want i can just…blog or facebook with my friends or even read a book on my iPad. Unfortunately i can no longer read paper books – they annoy me…maybe because i read too many for my girls…
How do you relax?

Enjoy watching the changing skies. Great for photos. When my children were young, personal relaxation was always restricted to post their bedtime.
