A Sweet Site For All Things Happy
Ah school is now in full swing for the kids. It is great to get them back into a routine. I get some time to work, clean and just put my feet up during the day. Great right! Yup.
BUT…….
There is one problem. A big one at that. No more sleeping in. I know many of you will agree that this is sad. But for me it is necessary for survival.
I did something today. It was something for myself. It was completely, wholly, entirely for myself. It was for me, not because someone else told me to do it but because I wanted to do it for myself. It was for my health and well being – mind, body and soul!
Today I laced up and hit the pavement with a great group of ladies led by a great lady.
So today was the day.
The first day of school. Another school year is upon us. It is bitter sweet for me. While part of me is glad to see the kids back at school, back with their friends, back to the routine (and out of my hair) part of me is sad to see them back at school, back with their friends and out of my hair. As many of you know (because I have written about it a few times I think) I work evenings and once my kids go back to school the time we spend together is short.
So…. my week and half on my own is now over.
OVER I TELL YOU!
It was a great time I will admit. While I still had to look after our puppy it was a great week. It was relaxing.
I got a chance to put my feet up and watch television without battling for the remote.
I got a lot of cleaning and furniture reorganizing done!
I had dinner and drinks with friends.
OK… this next week is just going to be strange.
For the first time EVER…I will be at home by myself for longer than a day. DID YOU HEAR THAT? I will be spending the next week or so kid free and husband free. YUP, that is what I said. Kid and husband free. OK well I won’t be completely alone, I will have the puppy to mother. And that is work enough.
