I have been so busy with school returning and I am finding it really hard to get back into the rhythm of the school run. I am usually so organised, extremely punctual and a slightly uptight person but something has happened to me over the school holidays and it's changed me into a slow moving, slightly late, less anxious, more chilled person. I think I kinda like it.
My house is not as neat,
Dinner is a little later,
The girls are a little dishevelled
The dog is scruffier
But, I smile more,
I have more time to sit with the girls,
play with the dog,
and chat with friends.
I can see a pile of washing and my eye is starting to twitch. I am not sure how long this chilled version is going to hang out for.
I hear you :) We've had a lovely relaxed holidays with lots of playdates but I know once school starts again it will be all about getting things done once more.
ReplyDeleteHello! Nice to meet you through IBOT. I could feel your post, especially the last part about how long you could put off the twitch, I'm the same. My threshhold has been stretched a bit with a husband who lives amongst clutter but every so often, I hit my limit and go into a frenzy of getting some sense of order. And I realise it really is for my peace of mind; it's about how it makes me feel or think or not think clearly, much more than about the physical clutter or lack thereof. Speaking of which, I am getting a bit twitchy myself.

ReplyDeleteHi Marita, when does school go back for you? Lucky you are still on holidays and can chill for a little longer. Thanks for visiting and commenting. Rachel xx
ReplyDeleteHi Veronia, I'll go and visit you page now. IBOT is great isn't it, we find so many great new blogs. My husband seems to add enough housework to my load by about 3 people. How is that possible? I really appreciate you visiting. Rachel xx
Hi Rachel, I think the weather makes you a little more relaxed to dont you think? Gives you that holiday feeling (even though it is raining on and off, it is still hot!).
ReplyDeleteI give you two weeks max:)
I agree Karla, it's the sunshine. But, I think you are being too generous, I am giving myself 1 week tops. Rachel x
ReplyDeletei cant wait to get back into the school routine where my washing gets done on the right days cause i have time. but with moving its starting to get hectic as we need to find a place in like 3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteIt feels wonderful to chill for a bit doesn't it. I find I tend to go through phases... I chill for a while but then I start to get twitchy about all the disorganisation. I'm working on finding a balance. :)
ReplyDeleteI am still trying to find rhythm. I love school holidays mostly but I did sit at my computer for a while today and knocked of lots of washing. Everything finds its balance.
ReplyDeleteI actually love the rhythm of school going back. I find it's so much easier to have a schedule to keep to.
ReplyDeleteI tend to get more housework done, and find the balance in everything when I'm in routine. It's oddly comforting for me. :)
Amazing! What a wonderful attitude! Holidays are so important to recharge. letting go a little... amazing! holidays more often i think x
ReplyDeleteI so get the twitch! Oh the twitch! Breathe Lee, breathe!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed kicking back and running late these holidays too, but I'm looking forward to regaining some semblance of a routine.
ReplyDeleteI can understand your twitchiness beginning again!
I think I have a permanent twitch :P Toni x
ReplyDeleteSounds like the changes are positive for you. I'm so glad!
