So thankful.

Cries in the night. Irritation. Desperation. Temper makes a run for it. I rein it in. Find kindness. Strength. It works. Is it working? Wait... Sleep takes me. Rest. Wake. Giggles and scent of sleepy curly hair. Plane. There she goes! Can I be lazy? Chocolate breakfast. Delegation. Consideration. Wet air. Phone calls. Back and Forth. Plans change. Fecks sake. Chocolate egg. Mess. Irritation. Sweep it, sort it, arrange, re-arrange. Fecks sake. Time out. Refresh. Selections in the brain. In the wardrobe. In the mirror, wardrobe, mirror, fecks sake. Grey chiffon and lace. Ruffles and puff sleeves. Vintage denim stalking coral coloured leather and suede heels. Love it. Green corderoy and frogs. Cream angora and glass buttons. 'Nooo?' 'Can't see the bloody frog.' Rush rush. Wrong bloody turns and long ways round. Phone calls. Back and forth. Feck it. Smiles, giggles and scent of sleepy curly hair. So proud. Grounded. Elated. Content. Heels in muddy grassy mounds. Running, laughing and scent of sleepy curly hair. Icy cream and daisys and 'weeeeeeeee' and 'peeeeeease pease'. Dogs and wolves and tree stump castles. So proud. Bye byes and kisses. Cries in the car. Irritation. Desperation. Temper makes a run for it. I rein it in. Find kindness. Chocolate kisses and cheeky knowing smiley eyes. Tiggles and giggles and sleepy curly hair. Sleepy bye byes. 'Nooo?' Sleepy Bye byes. 'Nooo?' Cries in the cot. Irritation. Desperation. Temper makes a run for it. I rein it in. Find kindness. So proud. Sleepy bye byes. So much love. SO thankful.
