Mama is a wimp
It was planned a long time ago: Lucas and Sarah were going to have a sleepover with my parents. And they were looking forward to it. Oh yes, they were..
This morning, inmediately after they had breakfast, they started packing their little suitcases. They knew exactly what to bring: Their toothbrushes, pyjamas and a little stuffed animal each. After packing, they put on their coats and waited. It didn't matter to them that I told them that their grandparents were probably still asleep. It didn't matter to them that I told they would get very hot, wearing their coats in the house. They just held their suitcases tight, smiled, and waited.
A little while later we went to my parents. And there they are now. I am sure they are having the most wonderful time. I am sure that they are playing, having fun, eating the things they love the most and will be sleeping like angels. And we, we have had time today to do all kinds of things we often want to do, but don't find time for.
But I have to confess: It's only been a couple of hours since I saw those two little ones and secretly I miss them already. It's official, I am a wimp.
My name is Karin. I sew, cook and
take pictures. I tell stories. I dream. I love books, fashion, hot
baths, conversations that make me re-think my ideas and opinions. I
fantasize and realize. And above and beyond all, I am mama to
Lucas, Sarah and Olivier.
