Wednesday 9 May 2007: Sarah is in London today and Heidi isn't... :)....And now Sarah is back in Belgium tired as can be...

Sarah says:

Long day in London carrying heavy things on my back ... but my back survived! It's my first time trotting around London on foot since my back operation and though I am totally worn out because my day started at 6:30 and I only just got back and it's now about 11pm - I feel okay! That is a wonder to me! Trips to London use to break my back big time. By the end of the day today I had a lot in the bag on my back. It was heavy. But now only my shoulders really hurt. It's a wonder! These are all little tests for me and my back and body and I keep passing all of them with flying colors. With that said, I am really, really, really tired right now and coming down with a cold or allergy or something. My husband is leaving for Poland tomorrow till Tuesday. Aren't we the world travellers! And soon we are off to Scotland!!!! With Heidi and Nico for ASG and TG's wedding! We can't wait! Man I like globetrotting. With all this energy and my new back I could travel the world! But now I am going to crawl into my bed and sleep! My bed will be empty for a few nights after tonight. My daughter will probably get her way and end up sleeping with me while her dad is away. She'll end up kicking me because she is a tosser and a turner like I am and I'll end up kicking her out! On the other hand, there is honestly nothing more delightful than watching my daughter sleep. She looks like she did as a baby. She's so hyper-headed - not physically but mentally - and it always amazes me to catch her in the silence of sleep. So the days ahead I will be mostly a mother. I feel like that's all I have been lately on the weekends because of her birthday and school and youth club events and because my husband will now be away for 4 days. When he's back, he and I have to go on a date! I want a dinner out and to see a movie with him! I want to be more than our kid's parents! I also want a night out with friends. I want to dance but maybe it is too early for that! I just want to be a little free. Soon enough...and in the meantime I will definitely keep on enjoying the mommy-daughter time...
