The skippers

 On Saturday morning  I got in the car and headed down south, well sort of,  it used to be down south but with the spread of the city its now just end of the train line and only an hour and a half away.   I headed down to join my skips ladies I’ve mentioned them before but skips is a group of special needs parents  (meaning parents of kids with special needs and not parents that have special needs although sometimes I’m not so sure) they have been amazing in the last few months since joining giving great advice support and information and a lot of laughs. We are all mothers and we all like to talk A LOT, but we also try to be good listeners.

On Friday night while I was at work some of the ladies drove down south and started our weekend away. I joined them on Saturday morning for breakfast. We went to lunch and chatted, did our nails and chatted, played pool and chatted, ate a lot of food and chatted, drank and chatted, went to the beach to watch the sunset and chatted after dinner we chatted some more and it was so enjoyable.      

Meanwhile back home hubbys and daddys looked after the kids took them on outings to parks, fed them and kept them safe.  This was some of our mummies first nights away from their kids. I was not surprised the fathers did so well and I definitely was not surprised the mummy’s relaxed so much away from the kiddlets and are already thinking of the next time.

 It was only a short stay but it was just what we needed. Movies and lunch ended the weekend nicely and we all headed home.  Peanut and Shrimples were happy to see me but Shrimples announced he did not miss me (but of corse when  daddy went for a short walk Shrimples made a point to tell me he was missing his daddy). Peanut is using a new sentence “I don’t know” its not really in the correct context and used as more as a diversion but man its cute.
