Have a break, have a KitKat

When I was at school, I used to be pretty good at maths. I actually thoroughly enjoyed the black and white element of knowing that an answer will either be right or wrong and there were no two ways about it. Now however, I seem to have forgotten the fundamental principles of mathematics...like the fact that there are only 24hrs in a day and therefore, it is completely impossible to do the equivalent of 48hrs work in that time. It just can't be done, 48 does not go into 24 no matter how hard I try.

In saying that, I have had a bit of a lightbulb moment and realised I am simply trying to fit too much into my days, hours and even minutes! I am doing a half-arsed job at everything because I am spreading myself too thin by wearing too many hats each day; Mum, wife, housekeeper, chef, taxi service, business administrator, budding writer, cake maker, budding entrepreneur and blogger. I just can't fit it all in! And of course, the ones who are suffering the most from my overflowing plate are the kids. Poor Sophie is going through a phase where she has a complete meltdown any time we part ways. She pleads with me to stay with her and cries so sorrowfully when I do leave. It breaks my heart! Then there is young Elliott who has taken "playing up" to a whole new level. He is being soooo unbelievably naughty in an effort to get my attention because I guess he figures that the amount of positive attention he gets all day just doesn't cut it. 

So with all of that in mind, I have come to the decision that I have to temporarily take a few things off my plate and my blog is one of those things :(  Don't get me wrong, I love blogging about how amazing and terrible motherhood can be but unfortunately, right now, I am doing an amazingly terrible job of being a Mum!!! So for the next week or two, I am dropping off the face of the Earth and other than Kindy, swimming lessons and dancing, the kids and I will be spending all of our time together engaging in quality experiences. I am committed to the idea of giving them my full and undivided attention and reinforce to them that they are the most important things in this World to me. 

I look forward to chatting to you again in a week or two and hopefully I will be writing about how happy my kids are :)
