What did I learn on Friday…that I need some child, other half, and work free time on a regular basis. And also think that time should be during the week. Now I do not mean every week (though that might be nice…). It just hit home that I need to escape work and family and just be me, something that rarely makes it to the top of the ‘to do’ list. Probably have known this for a while but perhaps afraid to admit it aloud. Though have said a version of this before – the whole life is too crazy, rant of a working mum springs to mind. Friday was in hindsight a needed reinforcement. Life has got too crazy again, and an action plan is in the making.
In the interim here is evidence from Friday. I was heading home after an appointment to continue work rather than head to back to the office. Instead I actively waylaid myself at the shops, wandering here and there, stopped and ate a late lunch, and it was all fun! The photo does not clearly show it, but the black at the back is two items not one, a pair of trousers and a black jumper. If you are going to confess – have to ‘fess it all up!
How do you find me time amongst the madness of work and motherhood?
tehehe! waylaid shopping 🙂 its pretty hard to shop for clothes with a little one it tow. I find I have just sped up my decision making when it comes to buying clothes (and I only really do it when I have to for work)…. there just isn’t any time otherwise! I am currently trying to get on a wakeup early routine to try and get some work on the side hustle done in peace, which is also a bit of “me time”. 🙂
