Rocking dreadlocks

Even though I enjoy working and to be honest dont really have a choice, I have to admit that being a stay at home mum is not so bad. I love not being in s rush every day to be somewhere and trying to fit a weeks worth of activities into my days off. I'm certainly not missing brushing my hair regularly (dreadlocks anyone) and I've been slightly slack in the makeup department as well - my skin is saying thank you. Now it's not that all of a sudden I see fit to be sloppy, it's just I'm enjoying being at home and not feeling obliged to be anywhere. Its new for me, I'm relishing it. I have learnt that I can and will say no. And shock horror I'm doing a damn good job of rocking a messy house too. I'm taking deep breaths and learning to get over it. For now anyway...it won't last, I know myself too well, but for now, the dishes can get done tomorrow. I have a new toy to keep me occupied as well, thanks dd for pushing me into the world of iPads....now I can catch up on y'all in the wee hours while Miss a and I spend some quality time together, like I said the dishes will wait. I can feed snuggle, tpe and read all at once. So while I know it's inevitable I will go back I'm liking this stay at home mum gig for now, and I'm rocking it if I do sy so my self!

Years ago I made a cruel stitching for my children's nursery with this famous poem:
"Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow For babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow, So quiet down cobwebs and dust go to sleep I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep."
Enjoy your snuggles.

Polly! lol!

Hats off to you my dear lady! As a therapist, I tell my clients all the time, chores will be there when you are ready to deal with them lol! Good for you!

Who wants to be caught up in the hussle and bussle of life only to lose connection with more important things like our children and even our own selves. If we loose ourselves, what do we have to offer to our children?!

The dishes, cobwebs and dust will be there when you get back lol!

Do it girl! :-)

Enjoy! And it sounds like you are :-) There shouldn't be any pressure at the mo, just pottering along getting back into the swing of things at your own pace!

And yay for the ipad!
