Well it's one of those special days of the year again. Father's Day has arrived, and my dear dad is not here, in fact he is in Melbourne, to compete in the Australian Masters Squash Championships, which commences tomorrow.
The singles events are being held this week, followed by the team's events next week. My dad has competed in the Masters Championships, for a few years now, it is held in a different capital city, each year.
My mum has travelled with dad, and always does, as she is his loyal supporter! I would love to be with them, but due to family and work committments, it is out of the question. He knows that I will be thinking of him, and hoping for many successful squash matches!
Anyway, the kids and I saw dad and gave him his presents on Friday, before he and mum flew to Melbourne, yesterday.
I am currently on my lunch break at work, typing away on my beloved little laptop, which has become a special part of my life too, afterall, my friends worldwide live in it! LOL
I'm rostered to do a 10 hour shift, as we are busy busy with lots of tiny and sick Neonates. It has been quite a long virus/illness borne Winter season, and still seems that way, as we have entered the first month of the Spring season. These nuisance illnesses don't usually settle until the summer months, so my colleagues and I will continue to care for the precious but sick little bundles, that come our way.
As much as I love my job, I also really look forward to going home to my "babies", as they need their mummy too. I often feel guilty for the hours I work, but having a morgage now, leaves me not a lot of choice.
Sometimes I feel that the kids are suffering because of the time I spend away from them, but I know that they are being well cared for, and I want to provide them with a secure future.
I cherish my time spent with my children, it is important to me and to them. We always have fun doing whatever! Our favourite games to play are "What's the Time, Mr Wolf" or Hide n Seek. We also enjoy playing with their Fisher Price "Little People".
The kids love to play outdoors, so that is always on the "to do" list, as well.
Anyway, it's just about time for me to head off back upstairs, so I will love and leave you for now.
As the kids say, "See you later Aligator, in a while Crocodile"!
Here's hoping you all have a great day, thinking of all the wonderful daddies who deserve to be pampered today...Enjoy!
With love,
Lyndall xxxxx
