The World is A-changin'

[Elly4]

Hi Eirinn, it must be hard hearing stuff like that from your S - ugh. I think the best thing to do is focus on getting on the road and on the way to your workshop serene and intact. In all of your actions, try and show H that you trust him absolutely to take great care of S while you are away. Let go of any potentially 'overprotective' thoughts & impulses. Accept that some of what H does will be 'his' way and not 'yours' and that's okay. Accept that he will make good choices about whose car S gets to drive in and so on.

This is so true, Toots! He actually sent me an email today asking why I thought that our S wasn't napping for him, and I told him that it could just be the day. I then started to ask him questions about what he did prior to nap to set it up, but deleted all but the initial comment about the day. I felt anything else would be lecturing.

And when you are away, perhaps limit yourself to a little phone chat a day with S? Be busy with your own stuff and largely let them be. Remember, this is the week you get to have a little time off being 'Mum' and some time to be Eirinn, so make the most of meeting some lovely new people and learning some new stuff. I hope it all goes really well for you! xx

And again you are right. I'm at an incredible place, with great people, and wonderful collaborative ideas. Also, I"m sleeping by myself, so don't have to worry about snoring!
I will try to immerse myself more and try to leave my emotional burdens at home.

Thank you for reminding me what's important this week.
