We arrived home today, drove non-stop from Taupo cos Ravey wasn't well...does that make sense to you...not stopping to comfort my poor wee baby...not stopping to dose him up on pandol...just driving, driving, driving to make it home & get him comfortable....yeah, well I'm just the passenger!
Well, I was reminded of a valuable lesson while we were away & that is all about gratitude...OMG you have no idea how ungrateful I have been behaving!!!
So to balance my pathetic, ungrateful, selfish behaviour I'm going to let you know what I am grateful for:
1. I am grateful my aunty gave us a week's free accomodation in Taupo, at a lovely motel.
2. I am grateful I was able to organize parts of the house & sell heaps of stuff on TradeMe so we had spending money for our holiday.
3. I am grateful that every night we were able to have a relaxing soak in the huge hot tub joined to our room. (and that Taigy ened up loving the tub & wanted to stay in Taupo so she could have a swimming bath every night)
