Eleven days in Montenegro

[rainsinger]

I am ill today. So much so that instead of performing ambitious acts of garden-weeding and laundry-folding, I am holed up in bed drinking tea and transcribing the paper journal I kept in Montenegro

This is so sad, and so lovely.

I couldn't do it - by which I mean I couldn't be without my children that long, not that I think it is wrong - I think it is very special that he gets to spend time with the rest of his family. But Rosie went away recently for 12 days and I thought my heart would break - and she is 17!!

It broke my heart. It's easy to forget sometimes when faced with a dictatorial almost-two-year old whose needs and moods rule my day how small and vulnerable he is. That without my protection he is completely at the mercy of the world. And I could have kicked myself for that burst of impatience. I called out his name and he came towards me and I lifted him up in my arms and I said I'm sorry and he said Matei good and I wondered when I'll be able to remember this without sharp starbursts of regret.

Aww. Every day. Kept me going in those bloody newborn days and probably won't end there..........

What scary hair-rising incident with buses. Joy of toddler years to come..

Can't believe I read this entry word for word breathing life and I usually avoid long entries :)
