So....it a wee nutshell here's where I'm at.
My Dad has been given the all clear from prostate cancer (insert big WHOOP WHOOP here!)
Christmas has been and gone without too much drama.
Summer holiday has been (and was fantastic), Master 9 and Miss 6 have had birthdays and are now back at school. Some days I feel a bit sad about this but know for the most part they need to go back to catch up with buddies and learn some more stuff.
The Farmer currently has man-flu and after much nose blowing has returned to work to spread the remaining germs with his work mates. Other than that he is busy enough with work and the farm.
I am enjoy what I would call a simple life. I work a couple days a week. I go walking. I clean my own house. I am there in the mornings/afternoons for my kids. I'm working on catching up on a heap of stuff and so far so good. I don't feel guilty about my life but do get a bit hacked off when people say "SO what do you DO with yourself". One could refer back to my What are you doing with yourself post to see how much I enjoy these sorts of questions.
The main difference from when I wrote that, and now, is there is no guilt. It just irks me that people think that working is the only thing that you need to do to live a good, happy life.
Boom Boom Basil....this is not the case.
I would say I am happier than ever. Seriously. I think that in part comes from exercising (looking after myself), knowing where I'm going, spending time with people whose company I enjoy, making myself available for my children and at the end of the day crossing things off my lists. Simple right?
So for the rest of 2014? More of the same please.
And to finish this post.....some wise words from the very sexy Mr Johnny Depp........
