The post event lull….
If you were involved with Darlington Pregnancy, baby and toddler fair you will know how well it went – estimated visitor numbers at 400, lots of fun and definately going to be repeated! The two weeks run up to the actual day was frantic, lots of last minute alterations and even some bookings. This is what I thrive on, having lots to sort out and rushing from one job to the next.
The only problem with being so busy is seeing my children having to cope with a rushed mummy who can’t spare five minutes to play or read a book with them. They see how snappy I get when things are quite going to plan and I see the disappointment on their faces as once again mummy has to work instead of spending time with them.
This week has been fantastic. It did take a while for me to get used to the change in tempo, I’ve lost count of the times I have refreshed my email and been disappointed that there were no new messages. Helped by the lovely weather I have spent days instead of minutes playing with my children, out in the sunshine listening to their excited giggles. Today we have a picnic packed up and when Daddy has finished work we are going off out on an adventure.
So what if the postman hasn’t brought lots of booking forms. So what if the phone isn’t ringing, the emails aren’t coming through. I am a mummy and I am lucky to have two wonderful daughters who just go with the flow, and this is their time.
