How the other half live

After waking up of my own accord this morning, I thought to myself "What am I going to do today?" Then I lay there in bed enjoying the absolute peace and quiet surrounding me. So this must be how the other half live, the other half who are yet to have children. What a wonderfully quiet existence! Mind you, after laying there for a short while I missed the kids coming in for cuddles...but I will survive without it for two mornings I am sure :)

The only hiccup to my day is that Mat has decided to take the day off work! Of course I love my husband and enjoy spending time with him blah blah blah, but I also love time to myself. As you all know, being a Mum makes time to yourself as precious as gold so when the opportunity comes along you want to make the most of it. I tried hinting to Mat that he should go to work then I tried telling him directly that I want to fly solo today and that he should go to work. The result was of course him sulking and feeling rejected because he simply does not understand how much I need this time to be alone and not have to consider another human being at all! But as I sit here typing this mornings post, Mat has been banished to his shed (such torture for him I am sure) and is under strict instruction that we can come together for meals and meals only because today is all about me damn it! (insert foot stomp here). Sure it sounds selfish but I am OK with that. Today I am being selfish because I have earned it and have the stretch marks and black bags under my eyes to prove it. Love you Sophie and Elliott :)

So what am I going to do with my day I hear you ask? I am not doing a stitch of cleaning (I confess that I did that yesterday once the kids were gone), the bed shall remain unmade and I am going to work on a new look for Mummy's Love Jug and a whole lot of other creative ideas I have. Don't panic, it will likely take me months to implement the new look for my blog because technology and I don't see eye to eye, but I will begin laying the foundation for it today. I am also going to stay put, right here at home and wear my tracksuit pants all day. There shall be no glamming up to make myself look publicly presentable, oh no, certainly not. I will rock the comfortable and practical attire, listen to loud music and get my creative on. Happy Thursday gorgeous ladies xox
