Is visibly missing this year in our home.
It just goes to show how far I let myself slip...I'm not out to beat myself over it but I have to recognise that 'it' aint what 'it' should be.
How many times can I say I'm in a funk? What else can I blame it on?
Yes I am busy {aren't all parents?} but I was busy before and managed so why make excuses.
If it was paid employment I think I'd be either on a written warning or sacked. If it were a contract I have not fulfilled my side of it.
The house is 'ok' floors clean, laundry is getting done, washing up is done and food is on the table in the evening but I've not been doing it with any heart. Some people don't even pretend to enjoy homemaking and that's just fine, but it's not fine for me.
I DO enjoy homemaking, well I did and I would like to find that enjoyment again.
The home edding is there, we do our work at the table and I do enjoy it. I find it hard to distract Fonzy so that he will let Loopy just get on with what she's doing but we're working on it.
She knows her letters pretty much now, I'm sure children at school knew them before she did but she learnt them and understands how they work together to make words.
I guess I just want to stop going through the motions, to 'feel' what we do together to make good memories with them and make a warm home that's relaxed and cosey not a free for all.
1st on the list is to tidy the shelving unit and go out and have some fun collecting bits for our Autumn table!!

Thanks for popping by...I love to hear from you and really appreciate you taking the time.
I am sorry about having to ask you to prove you're not a robot but for some reason I am having a LOT of spam nowadays {and we're not talking fritters!}
