Parenting is often an isolating experience for me, this winter has been so hard. I usually love winter but the combo of constant daycare illnesses and rain of the last 2 months has really done a number on me.
Today we spent forever at the lake, and I was equally bored and awed. I love in the mountains for moments like this - stunning nature all around, 10 minutes from my front door. But I have to admit that I am lonely and I miss having easy friends who were just around the corner. I thought they would visit more. I thought I would make new friends up here (I have, I'm being dramatic, they're just also sick or busy or both). We went to another park in the afternoon and Es was doing this cute thing where she kept putting different plants into her teacup and offering me new concoctions to pretend sip. She then proceeded to bully me into walking around the village and buy her a yoghurt and yelled at me a lot in the park afterwards which soured the afternoon somewhat. Forever swings and roundabouts.
