When the boys went back to school (BTS)
I thought it might be nice to soften the blow with a little treat at the end of
the first week.
We were lucky. The treat literally fell into our collective laps
when we were invited along on a boat trip.
It was so lovely I thought why not
make it a regular event. Not the boat trip. The treat.
A pat on the back for a job well done.
This idea went down very well with the
troops and the next treat was decided by Oldest Boy who by very dint of his position
in the family has more than a touch of alpha male about him. His younger brothers, recognising when the
king of the jungle is in the room, assumed submissive positions and went along
with his suggestion. Which was a trip to
Dundrum shopping centre with the intention of having a sushi lunch.
A while back the supermarket we
frequent was hosting an Asian experience and I picked up a tray of raw fish for
the boys. Much to my surprise they
enjoyed it very much. Oldest Boy hadn’t forgotten
it. I suspected, however, it was the novelty
factor more than the culinary experience that won them over.
Our next treat is still a matter of
weeks away but I had a little moment of clarity recently.
Since the boys WBTS, there has been
rugby, an introduction to a most excellent climbing wall and plenty of birthday
parties in the offing. Not to mention
hikes with scouts and various other events.
All of these treats for the boys but
none for the grown-ups. Something was
very wrong with this picture.
I decided to rectify.
I was reminded of the online writing
course I spotted earlier on this year. The
one I promised myself I would sign up to.
May and June sped past and before I knew it I was neck deep in Back to School
purchases, my online writing course savings haemorrhaging before my eyes.
Moving quickly forward, last week I completed
my first module. Tomorrow I am booked in for a long overdue haircut and Mister Husband
has arranged for a sitter so I get to go on a date with my hair him tomorrow
night.
I am writing this with a class of red
wine by my side because that was in short supply for the
last few weeks also.
Treats, you see, shouldn’t be just for
the kids. Grown-ups should have regular
rewards too.
Sushi.
Haircuts. Wine. Dates. Mitching from work. (ssshhh) and hey, star charts if that’s what floats
your boat.
Go on. Treat yourself.
Finally some one came up with some idea for grown up too as no one bothers for us.I really like the way you have put down this idea.
