A day in the life of…. me!

I’ve been sitting here contemplating what I could possibly have to blog about and feeling quite guilty at how little I’ve achieved of late when it occured to me that maybe I need to give myself a little more credit. I think often we try to fit so much more into life than just being a wife, mother and home maker that it’s easy to overlook our achievements when at the end of the day thats all we’ve got done. Take my last 36hours for instance….

Took my boys plus my 2 nephews to the skatepark for an hour while I sat in the car, listened to a podcast on health and nutrition and planned our meals for the next week.

Home in time to make lunch in 15mins flat (cheese, jatz and fruit) and be back at the movies where we all enjoyed How to Train Your Dragon in 3D.

Added a few brush strokes to my latest painting. This is a sneak peak as it’s not finished yet (watch this space).

Cooked some choc bickies with the help of my friends daughter Dana who I am minding for the day along with her 3 brothers who all helped eat them.

A little paper mache this morning too. It’s going to be a bowl (hopefully).

Won’t bore you with photos but I’ve also done 30min’s exercise, 2 loads of washing and half a basket of ironing, a grocery shop, roast lamb & veg for dinner last night, found and purchased this book on the web for my nephews birthday, refereed numerous fights, bandaged scraped knees, read 2 chapters of The BFG  and now posted this report with photographs, all I might add with a nagging headache because it’s that week.

Funny how all of a sudden the last few days have gone from being ‘nothing’ days to becoming quite a list of accomplishments and I feel much more enthusiastic about doing it all again tomorrow. And the next day. And the day after that…..

Hope you appreciate aaaaaall that YOU do.
