ᔕᑕᗷ Week Chit-Chat

How can it be weekend again? I had a messy, confusing week because of a long weekend, a short week so to say...

ᒪET'ᔕ ᑕᕼᗩT ᗩ ᗷIT

I did a lot and at the same time, it feels like I did nothing. I type a lot every day but only a fraction of it you see on Steemit. It feels strange every day when I realize that I haven't written. "You're writing all day", says my son, "where did all that text go?"

Given the nice weather, I try to be outside a bit more every day. The warmth is good and I dread next winter. This is the year that I mowed considerably less and therefore I have created a lot more time to write but at the same time, I am outside less (bad for the lack of vitamin D that we all suffer from en masse even though you don't notice it much - by the time you notice it it is too late).

I spoke to the smallest (officially the youngest) about what the youngest wanted for her birthday. So I just sent a Signal with the question: what do you want for your birthday? Disney World Paris was my suggestion but some people are hard to get out of the house and if you're the youngest and smallest go out together... Introverts in Disney World can still be something. Perhaps the Efteling in Kaastheuvel is a better option. Also a funfair in all directions and within that the old-fashioned Fairytale Forest. I can still remember the talking mushrooms from my childhood. Years later I went to the Efteling with the neighborhood association. That was a trip for poor people, but well organized. I went with the two oldest and a bunch of others on a bus. There we were dropped off at the entrance with the request to be back on time because the bus wouldn't wait. After that, it was "figure it out for yourself". Amusement parks with children, especially funfair attractions, are of course unsuitable for a parent with two children. It is actually a waste of money because you can't go anywhere. I mean, with an infant and toddler in the roller coaster is not allowed and the bumper cars are also out of the question. You can also hardly leave your baby in the stroller because you are going on the merry-go-round with your toddler. Anyway, I thought let's go into the Fairytale Forest. Talking to talking mushrooms, and feeding Holle Bolle Gijs garbage, and watching Snow White sleep in the hut of the 7 dwarves who are chopping in a mine somewhere that no one knows if it is their property. Frustration! I couldn't even find that entire Fairytale Forest because of all those stupid fairground attractions in the North, East, South, and West! Do you think anyone showed me the way? Well, no way. Fortunately, small children are easily satisfied, so picking up garbage from the park and stuffing it in Holle Bolle Gijs' mouth was a sensation in itself. I also had more food and drinks, so that helps because in such a park you are financially stripped bare.

No Efteling or Amusement Park for my son. My children don't like that very much, except for the youngest, who has a birthday soon and is also the biggest and best gamer, besides being super creative and working at night. Fortunately, the youngest is a night owl, just like me, so that will be fine. The nice thing about the little one who is now actually the youngest, is that she can now do the shopping. I got an answer to what the almost birthday child wants so I nicely passed on that Signal while I went out with my son and we tried out sofas. We still don't have a sofa and the big dream is to have one before winter. That can be difficult because apart from the fact that money does play a role, there is also the question: How do we get that thing here and in the house? Maybe through the window?

Yesterday I was "walked" by my son. You know it from that song. He also let me sit in the car when he went into the supermarket. I don't know that from a long time ago, the men would wait in the car and their wives would have to go get the groceries for a week and pack everything in bags, then it had to be lifted into the car and that was also her job. Only one man got out of the car to put the bags in the trunk of the car. You'd be lucky to have a guy like that. I wouldn't cook for that and would only buy my own food. This doesn't happen to me because I have a driver's license and my children carry everything for me including my wallet.
