This right here is the only kind of princess I’m interested in dealing with!
Been a rough couple of days inside my head. The anxiety over my new job is starting to build. I haven’t been sleeping and it’s taking a toll. The wisdom of children: Grace, on seeing me crying: “Mummy, is something broken?” (ummm, in a manner of speaking …)
Perhaps all is not lost.
On the ride home from school today, Grace announces that for her birthday (life revolves around birthday parties, so despite the fact that it’s 9 months away, it’s all we talk about) she’d like cupcakes that are half Princess and half Spiderman.
Sure thing. Getting right on that.
