I miss

I know I have not said much of late- I have been in and out of Nairobi planning for next year, that is what happens when you are employed by one and working for another.  So as I head to bed, I feel like just saying how much I miss home. This is where it gets tough sometimes for working Mums.

I miss my family, my wonderful hubby and kids

I miss the dinner times, I miss the bathing times with the kids- this is one of my favorites, mostly  because I get all the I love you  from the girls, I am not sure why they do this at this time.

I miss the kisses from my boy that leave me with all the saliva smeared all over my lips and cheeks.

I miss the good mornings-sometimes we read stories before I leave for work and I miss feeding breakfast to the kids too.

I miss the details of their day-coming from my kids. Details to the very letter and telling on each other.

I miss the prayer time, the bed time stories and the songs that we sing before we go to bed.

I miss the "love you mum"-"goodnight Mum, love you, love you"…and when they are tired, they just say-good night guys (Mum and Dad). Since when did we become guys?

I take some time to swim when I am in Mombasa, which is where I have been for quite a while and I miss being with my family in the pool. They fill the pool with laughter and joys – the yells and the cries all being part of it.

I do not want to say what I miss as a wife, that is for the “I do and then” blog for another day.

I thank God for my family and I love them dearly. The time away also helps me to reflect and to ask God for balance in my life. I appreciate the grace and in that grace I live each an every day. Many people ask, how I manage to travel and I have young family. Well, they look at it outside grace; you see God gives you grace for every season in your life. I know it and I have lived it.

Have a graceful week.
