This is the video that I mention in the post below.

My week

Well it's been quite a week at home as such. It is funny that I am considered a stay at home mum or a housewife but sometimes I feel like I'm never actually at home. This week has been a week of mediocrity and a few lows but not very low. And one little shining light.

Sweetness got to take Daddy to Kindy one night this week and she was so excited about it. Daddy was excited too after not having the most enjoyable month at work so sharing these precious moments were just as special to him as they were to Sweetness. I've always told him that Sweetness and him are two peas in a pod and seeing her in a new environment helped him to see this too.

The rest of my week could be summed up like this.

No nothing bad has happened to us and we need to be grateful that nothing is seriously wrong with us. And I know you might be thinking awwww isn't she cute and funny, and yes I would agree. BUT would you like to clean this up right before you were meant to be heading out the door for the school run. Hmmm less cute, more of an inconvenience.
Princess is maybe becoming to much of a Princess and managed to convince me that she needed to stay at home two days this week. Am I really becoming this weak mum who is conned easily. I know its also the thought of what the other mums would think of me when she does cough that she sounds like she's coughing up a lung but then it stops and I kick myself and think she should be at school. I keep thinking it should be getting easier now that she's older but it's really just different. Having to monitor attitudes, bad influences, sibling rivalry the problems are very different from teaching a toddler to share but seem to take the same if not more forethought as it's really dealing with issues of the heart.

Parenting is a challenging job but I saw this clip done but I women who used to serve our church years ago and it really encouraged me that this is my job. It's not just something that's been thrust upon me, it's a role that God has given me and that I have chosen to accept.
