That Groundhog Day feeling, you know the one where you wake up, and feel as though you are on endless repeat of the same before school/work tasks. Trudging around the house making sure everyone is up, wash, dressed and fed, whilst at the same time you are preparing lunchboxes, ironing last minute uniforms and making sure that homework, reading and family challenges have been completed and are safely packed inside book bags.
After completing the urgent before the school run tasks I somehow make it out of the door and off on the school run. I can then finally enjoy some breakfast in peace on the way to work, munching my favourite belVita cranberry breakfast biscuits and a banana as I listen to my iPod.
Tuesdays however are different, because instead of rushing off to work I have nearly three hours of child free time. So I head home, pop the kettle on to make myself a hot chocolate (I’m one of life’s weird people who don’t drink tea or coffee), grab the latest copy of my OK magazine subscription, a packet of belVita’s from the cupboard and a piece of fruit. I settle down on the sofa and enjoy half an hour of ‘me time’
…enjoying my breakfast rather than rushing it
…reading a magazine without a child asking if they can read it too
…relaxing after the mad morning rush
And then I remember that I still need to fill the dishwasher, empty and re-fill the washing machine, put the bin out and 101 other jobs that need completing before I collect Tigger at 11.30am.
Oh well it was lovely whilst it lasted…
Can’t wait until next Tuesday!
