Week 1: Stop
Trying To Please Everyone
My
children break up for the school Easter holidays today, and they bounced out of the door this morning with a
definite spring in their step (no pun intended!)
If
you’re anything like me, you’ll have stocked the cupboards with Easter
chocolate and hot cross buns, and there will be a vase of beautiful daffodils
taking pride of place on the kitchen table.
Two weeks of family time is something to look forward to, and I intend to use this holiday to mix my own goals with special treats for the kids.
Does
that sound horrifying? Should I spend
the next two weeks entertaining my three teenagers, doing double shifts on the
cleaning because they are at home and,
therefore, making more of a mess?
Maybe I should be slaving over a hot stove to prepare the Easter lunch,
or perhaps rushing across the Midlands delivering eggs to my friends and
family.
