In the Kitchen #5 - Envy

I went to a friend's 38th Birthday party today. I remember her party a few years ago, and this one was a lot different. Brightly coloured plastic plates, cups and cutlery. Soft drinks and party food.

The added component is children.

Parents talking about children.

Parents running around after their children.

Children crying.

Children screeching.

For once, despite the fact that being a wife and mother is something I would dearly love, today I was not envious of these people.

Coming home with a banging headache, taking the dog for a walk and then sitting in the sun reading my book for an hour and a half made being unmarried and childless rather less burdensome.

My phrase for the day: "Thy Will be done".
