7.30am We’re awake and it seems that we are starting to adjust to the time change.

9.10am I’m at church to handover Sophia and Aidan to Nanny for the day! Sophia is very excited.

12.15pm That was a full morning! I had a perinatal mental health appointment (the team, by the way, are absolutely amazing!). In my head, the meeting was at 10, but it was actually at 9.30! I was sorting car seats in the carpark so I missed the call initially, but eventually had a really good chat from 9.45 until 10.30. I then caught up with some people in the Hub and my friends from Liverpool FA popped in for a coffee too. It was a great morning, although I didn’t get much done in terms of admin and prep.

3.30pm I’m home after having tried the much anticipated frickles (fried pickles) from KFC. I was so sure I would like them, but they just didn’t hit the spot for me, I’m afraid!

Apart from that, I’ve had an afternoon with some worrying. I don’t know if it was too much scrolling or what, and I know I’m supposed to be trying to worry less, but I just feel a bit overwhelmed. You’d think it would be work because it’s Holy Week, but I can’t put my finger on it. I have had a pretty intense few weeks, so maybe it’s just all built up.

Anyway, the kids will be home soon and we can have a nice tea and bedtime. That always makes me feel better.

8.15pm Right now, we three are on the bed in the nursery. Aidan is asleep lying on my legs and Sophia is sleeping at the other end. It’s dark and quiet and peaceful. I feel a lot better. This has always been my special place, as a Mum. I remember my college principle waxing lyrical about checking on his slumbering children when he got home from meetings. It didn’t make any sense to me at the time, but it does now. The question is, though, can I get Aidan in his cot and Sophia in her bed down the landing without either of them waking?

8.20pm Success!

Right, off to do the kitchen and the laundry – Nathan has night prayer and a PCC meeting tonight!

10.20pm Kitchen is looking ok and I’m at my desk. I’ve just done Ministry Mum Monday 30, and so had a glance back at Two Tuesday 30 as I occasionally do. A couple of things struck me. Firstly, I had completely forgotten about that amazing conversation with Sophia! And then secondly, wow, what a wonderful week that sounds. Another one of those I wish it was this time last year moments.

More tomorrow when we’ll be having the last Lent Study and Easter communion in the local nursing home.
