Time to stop and smell the roses....

This morning, Alexander and I headed to the local shopping centre for coffee with Donna and Susan and Tahlia. Elke wasn't there today as she is in daycare for her first week!! After early morning coffee and a chat, Alex and I headed home (I am suffering from a bad case of sinusitis) for a quiet lunch and some time with my mum.

Warren came home surprisingly early and did a spur of the moment "daddy day care" for me so I could take my mum to a medical appointment in the city without traipsing Alexander around. Whilst waiting for my mum, I headed to New Farm where I enjoyed looking in a couple of little homewares boutiques and a lovely jewellery shop before indulging in a delightful coffee. It was quiet time where I could contemplate life. It is different not having Alexander with me when I am on days off as I am so used to having him with me and enjoying his chit chat from the back seat. Mum and I then headed home and found that Alexander had enjoyed a lovely 2 and a half hour afternoon sleep so apparently he didn't even miss me!!

Now we are all home keeping warm and dry as it is raining quite heavily outside, should make for a pleasant night in!! Hope you enjoy sometime to stop and smell the roses....it's well worth it!!
