My escape

We all need an escape now again don’t we? As a busy mummy my life is hectic for want of a better word, it’s rarely still.

In the week my day starts at roughly 5.30. This is allow time for hubs and I to make sure the dog has a decent walk, bottles are prepared, children are fed and dressed, backpacks and nappy bags stocked, and that’s without getting ourselves ready, making sure the house is tidy, and if we’re lucky we get breakfast and a morning brew too. All before 8am. Then of course it’s off to work, and when we get home the bedtime routine begins. On a good day we may get to relax by around 9pm by which time I want my bed.

My escape is that morning dog walk. It’s my time. The beauty of being out so early is that there’s rarely anyone else around. Just me, the dog, and my thoughts. I couldn’t tell you what I think about, sometimes everything, other times nothing. I just like to walk; taking in the morning air, listening to the birds (who have a lot to say for themselves at that time of the morning), and just being. This walk is my time to take stock, clear my head, and prepare myself for the day ahead.

Taking in the morning air.

Refreshing dip.

What do you do to escape?

Bad mood

I’m in a bad mood. That’s it. Simple as.

I probably could snap out of it, but actually quite frankly I don’t want to. Certain things are pretty rubbish at the moment and I want to wallow. But while I’m wallowing I’m thinking. One of Little miss’ favourite questions these days is: “Are you happy?” And you know what? Yes I am. I’m happy. But at the moment, right here and now, I’m in a bad mood. Ok?

Saturday is Caption Day

I haven’t done a Caption Day in a while, I’ve missed it quite frankly.

Last week as a birthday surprise the hubs took me to the Warner Bros Studios to do the Harry Potter tour as a birthday surprise. Twas amazing, as a complete Harry Potter geek I was in my element. I thought it would be fitting that this week’s picture was one taken on the day.

Choosing just one pic is hard, but I’ll go with this one…

Cap away my friends! Now head on over to the mighty Mammasaurus for more pics in need of caption love. I’m off there now in fact, race you…

You know who you are

You know who you are. You will most likely never read this. You don’t know I blog, in fact you don’t even use the internet all that much.

But I have to get this off my chest. It’s something I need to say and until I can find the courage to say it to your face, this will have to do.

You’ve upset me, you’ve hurt me. The way things are, the way you are, it’s not ok. I love you and that will never change, but here, right now, I’m disappointed. You’ve let me down.

You know who you are.
