Life Got Crazy!

Ok, so I didn't blog for quite a few weeks there. Why? Life got in the way and there just didn't seem to be enough hours in the day. With three kids to look after, you could say things have been a tad busy over here. Endless amounts of tidying, cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, school runs, baby/kids activities and sleepless nights later, I began to feel a little overwhelmed and something had to give. Unfortunately that something was my blog, and with that came a feeling of guilt and disappointment within myself for two reasons. First reason being, I had set out a goal of publishing one post a week, providing a sense of achievement that didn't derive from keeping three small people alive. Secondly, I'm human and everyone needs that one point in the day for themselves, so I was doing myself a disservice by not doing something that allows my mind to unload.
My blog is the one thing that is solely mine, that I don't have to share or divvy up. In a life where, like most mothers, I come last on the list, it is important that I keep something for myself. I have made a promise to myself that no matter how busy or crazy life gets, I must take time out, even if that may only be 10 minutes in the evening to do 'me'.
