Priorities
You and him are my main priorities
So why do I get wrapped up with everything and everyone else?
It is just about us three!
We are the important ones,
Sure we have the rest of the families and a few close friends
But in the cold darkness of the night
It is just you, him and me
So we are the important ones!
I stress about cleaning, tidying and worry about the image we create
Why?
As long as he is happy, and healthy
Why or why does a clean side matter?
He loves to be grubby, he loves to play in dirt
With bugs and dig and rummage
I should embrace it
Not take it away!
It wont last forever so why try to stop it before it starts?
You want to cuddle and sit on a sofa
I worry about the ironing, or this other piece of work that should be done
I shouldn’t I should be happy that you still want a cuddle
I should embrace it and not push you away!
We should laugh more,
Not worry about tomorrow be joyful we survived today!
Think of the good things we have done in the last 24 hours,
Not about the things that are coming in the next 24 hours!
I shouldn’t worry about where the next pound is coming from,
It always lands at our feet, when we most need it
So why fret about it
We will be ok
Lets just enjoy
Being us three, being together and being happy
Before you start to play golf and disappear every weekend
And before he starts to think it is uncool to be with Mummy and Daddy
You and him are my priorities and I need to make the most of them
Right here, right now!
This was written for the Writing Workshop I chose prompt number 1. What’s your biggest priority right now? Do you need to rethink yours? Please go and read some of the other posts to see what they have written
Beautifully written, I loved it and will take your message with me tonight when we’re in front of the TV and I’m too tired to talk
Oh thank you that is so nice for you to say x
I struggle with this too.. I always let others get in the way of the stuff I want to be doing or sadly, sometimes, of spending time with my husband, because other people ‘need’ me. I’m sure Baba knows he is well loved by you, and I agree, cleaning isn’t everything! 🙂

I know it is so hard isn’t it, I know that he knows I love him and Mr L knows it too, but you just get so wrapped up in things don’t you its madness! xx
Oh, I think you’ve got your priorities just about right! You’re so correct. Lovely post! Well done.
Thank you, she says on the computer doing stuff while everyone else is in bed! xx
Your post brought me to tears….it’s very poignant and more people should take heed. It’s easy to forget how important the little things are and get embroiled in anything but those. XXXX
Ah I didn’t mean to make you cry! That wasn’t the aim sorry but thank you all the same xxx
Wonderful post. I think we could all learn a lot from that! So easy to get lost in the pointless bits of life and miss the important stuff
Oh it is isn’t it, I think maybe I should market this post, everyone keeps telling me people could learn from it! xx
