Another tough week has been rewarded with the weekend. Saturday was a day of cleaning the house, playing with O, eating homemade bolognese pizzas and watching Twister (always love a 90's tastic film as an early Saturday evening treat). Sunday was a morning at church, a roast dinner in my mum's garden and by far one of the biggest treats ever....an afternoon nap! I can't remember if I've blogged about the joys of afternoon nap but it has become a thing of serious luxury. Now I love my little girl to bits but after a massive Sunday lunch all I want to do is plonk myself in a comfy chair and doze off whilst watching a murder mystery on ITV 3. Unless by some miracle O has worn herself out, Sunday afternoons are now filled with building towers out of stacking cups, blowing raspberries on O's tummy and preventing her from launching herself off/over any piece of furniture that she has decided is now a climbing frame. I love it, I really do but today when my mum suggested taking O out for a walk to give J and I the chance to snooze in the garden, we couldn't get them out of the door fast enough ! It was blissful.
One of the things I often worry about is that I don't live my life fully enough. I spend a lot of time feeling like I should be busier like I should be packing more adventurous, exciting things into my time. Social media adds fuel to the fire as I see exotic holidays, nights out drinking cocktails, people that seem more creative than me, people who look better than ke, people who have 'exciting' jobs and I find myself comparing. Horrible but true. I sometimes fail to see the richness of my life because I often think I do more, I should be more than I am.
However this weekend life felt full, it felt rich with life and it was good.
