Time, oh dear time, wherefore art thou? Hast thou forsaken me for ever moreth?! Well, oooooh wellity wellity wellity. I thought I was a busy little lady before, running around like a headless damn chicken as it was, frazzled, sleep-deprived and wondering how long before I turned into a total loony-case and strolled up to […]
It’s eight thirty-seven pm, I have literally just got the kids to sleep, aka, I finally have a tiny sliver of real time to myself. I want to demolish a box of chocolates in front of the tv and zone out on Netflix. But it’s a brand new year and it’s time to make a […]
I want to be good, I do.
I want to be patient, eat steamed greens and take daily contemplative walks in the woods.
I want to be a good human living my fullest life.
Instead…
As lockdown progressed, I soon realised that if I was to survive being stuck at home with few positive distractions then I was going to have to choose carefully between eating myself into a whole new wardrobe or getting my unfit body back into shape. Thankfully for my body and my wallet, I chose fitness.
These daily scribbles are going to have be renamed “whenever-I-get-a-chance” scribbles… almost two weeks now since I last wrote one. The trouble is that the only real opportunity I’ve had to write has been in the evenings once Bowie is asleep and usually I’m so tired and fuzzy-eyed that I can’t muster up the energy […]
I have been M.I.A. the past ten days; so much so, you’d be forgiven for thinking I’d abandoned these daily scribbles once again. Not so my friends! I just had so much going on – from helping my husband over the Jazz weekend to breast scans to a barely-squeezed-in coffee-date to sleepless nights (yes, still, […]
I can’t imagine I’m going to write anything too special tonight, I was tempted to leave off today’s scribble but as I’d already missed yesterday’s one I figured I should write something. It’s crazy the effect tiredness has on you, from your mood to your energy; I spent most of this afternoon getting so cranky […]
Today was one of the nicest days I’ve had in a long time. I went out for a walk with Alex and Bowie around 11 am. We got Bowie all wrapped up and cosy in his “eskimo” onesie and I nearly burst from the cuteness. We ended up walking a good long distance as we […]
And that’s probably the hardest thing about becoming a Mum for me, even harder than the lack of sleep: the sudden disappearance of time to yourself.
Again a day behind. Will I ever catch up? Wrote this yesterday, never got to post it: There will be no mention of “Sleep Bootcamp” today. None whatsoever. I won’t be talking about how amazing my little boy is at falling asleep by himself now or how he had another really good night and gave […]
