Neglected …..So Sorry!!

Posted May 7th, 2010 by Leigh

It is 8:30 and I’m making time to read all of the blogs that I follow and do one or two tweets.  I’ve been so busy this week and I have sadly neglected my e-mail, blogging and twitter friends. Unfortunately, I have to admit that my family have also suffered and for this I am truly, truly sorry.  Forgive me?

I have been so busy this week, trying to get my distributors orders out, make up products for the shop, get the shop fittings done, paint the shop, run the salon etc. etc.  For the last week I’ve left home at 8:30 and returned well over 4:30, and almost immediately I start with product making, dinner, homework and usually finish up around 10:00 pm.

To my little precious son Joshua “Snoopy”.

I am so sorry that I never read you a story last night before going to bed.  You played ever so quietly in the play room, while I sat sealing the tea bags for the “Baby Bath Tea”.  It was well over 8:00 pm when I realized it was way passed your bed time.  I forgot to make your hot chocolate and did not have time to read to you because it was so late.  I am sorry my little boy. Thank you for helping me paint the shelves at the shop yesterday, you did a great job!

To my little girls “Gogo and Gogie”

I’ve left your nanny to take care of you and I’m sorry BUT I’m grateful that she is awesome and that she loves you both dearly and takes good care of you! I love you both so dearly my little angels.

To my dearest “best friend” and “life partner”

Dankie my skat vir alles!  Ek is baie, baie lief vir jou!!!!!  Thank you so much for trusting in me and for allowing me once again to follow my dream!  Your support is truly appreciated. I could never have started Tranquil Body Treats, if it wasn’t for your wonderful love, care and support. You have invested so much in our little shop and I promise to make it a success. I am so sorry you have had “slap – dash” dinners this week. Sorry you have arrived home to a wife that is grouchy and too busy to pay you much attention. You have fallen asleep most nights alone because I’m either in the kitchen or dining room preparing stock. I am so, so blessed to have you in my life.  You are truly a wonderful, wonderful husband and an awesome, awesome dad.  We all love and cherish you lots and lots.

To my e-mail, blogging and twitter friends.

Thank you so much for leaving comments, replying to e-mails, tweeting even tho I “neglected” to read your last few posts etc.  You are my life savers and you help me get thru my day, you put a smile on my face and often touch my heart.

I promise you all to “make time” for all of you – you will no longer feel neglected but loved and needed!

Wish you all a fab, fab, fab weekend!!!!

    I am so super glad for you that everything is falling into place. I will certainly come and look at the shop – when next I get past the boerewors gordyn.

    What a lovely post.

    Congrats on everything and once you have the shop open and up and running, you will see that things calm down somewhat. WHat would we do without the awesome people who carry us during our times of stress?
