Do you ever have those days where as soon as you wake up, nothing seems to be going right but it's all in your head? You're instantly in a foul mood and the smallest things piss you off? This happens to me probably more than I would like to admit. This morning both of the girls woke earlier than they would on a school day - seriously, can kids sense that it's the weekend and all Mum wants is for everyone to sleep in an extra half hour? Or did they misread the memo and think that I meant wake up half an hour earlier than normal? Either way, Mumma Bear: Cranky Edition came out to play as soon as I opened my eyes and I feel horrible. We hung around the house for two hours, coffee in my hand as I tried to shake the cranks but it wasn't working. So I decided to get outside and let us all get some fresh air. We're now almost 2 hours into being at the park, Luna has falleb asleep feeding in the carrier and Lily is playing happily on the flying fox with a new friend she just made (god I love the innocence of children and how easily they can make friends and how simple it is.) and I feel calm. Content. There's something about being near the water that just makes all my worries go away, even for a few hours. Luna seems to have inherited this as well, she's a total water babe and being close to water in any way puts a smile on her face. And Lily, Lily is always just happy to be outside and near a park. I really need to make an effort to get out with them more, it's really does make all the difference in our attitudes for the rest of the day. So I'm off to enjoy the sunshine and giggles from my oldest, and to tuck away the side boob I have happening right now since Luna decided to unlatch...

Have a happy weekend!
