The love/hate relationship with school holidays | WWA

It’s school holidays and it’s only Monday and I’m already in a tousle. Part of me of wants to be slow and another part of me is already feeling like I’m not getting things done. You would think that after seven, no eight years of this I would have worked through this by now LOL. Is this still happening to everyone else? Is it because I’m trying to be more present that I didnt plan my diary better for appointments and time? am I kidding myself LOL?  I’m looking at my diary today and I have quite a bit on, but I haven’t scheduled time with the kids. Then I feel mad or rather a strongly resistant feeling to the thought of scheduling time with my kids. After that comes an even uglier thought; and that is, if I don’t do schedule it won’t happen – So if your wondering where I am today, before I head up the radio to record our shows, you will find me deep breathing, letting go of judging myself and stripping off to jump in the river of FLOW. – Quite simply stuff all of the above.

Why am I sharing this? quite simply because I do not live in a perfect Pinterest, planned, super organised universe, and I talk to plenty of women who also dont, and I want to celebrate that today. There are dishes in my sink, my children are stil in bed on their iPad, there’s a load of wet washing that I didn’t hang out last night sitting on the floor and the CEO of a tech company  is calling to arrange a meeting with me, and I can only think about finding a very large coffee right now. And I also need to own up to it, I did sleep in this morning.

And I also need to own up to the fact that I did sleep in this morning.

May everyone be as productive as an unbridled school holiday routine will allow and let all of the pressure language, of I must, I have to, I should be…. get flushed down the toilet where it belongs!
