[...] Previous posts have talked about the value of enjoying each moment of every day but never is this more true than when trying to combat a worrisome outlook. My mum knows what I’m like and when I start fretting she often reminds me that we’ll get the strength to cope with whatever we need to cope with when we need to cope with it. What we’re not given is the strength to cope with the possibility of having something to cope with [...]

Hi John,
Your little one sounds like my boy (although we often say he’s more like 3 going on 53 with his old ways ) Glad to hear your big boys weekend was a hit. You’ll have to do it again soon.

We still have black bin bags here but are allowed a lot more blue ones – they’re for recycled stuff

Thanks for stopping by again and have a great day,
El

Ah, he’s three and a quarter. Going on thirteen, if his occasional strops and moods are anything to go by! What I have noticed is that he has been much more ‘daddy, play!’ than ‘mummy, play!’ these past few days, so my big boys’ weekend has tipped the balance in my favour

Black bin bags, eh? Thing of the past in these days of wheelie bins…

I step away for a few hours and a whole load of visitors stop by. Welcome
Sorry I wasn’t around to make you a cup of tea and thanks for visiting.

@John Thanks for pointing me in the direction of David Allen. I can’t say I’m familiar with his work but I’m glad to hear you’re finding it good. It’s always useful to have a personal recommendation And your big boys weekend sounds great. How old is your son? I’ll bet it’s something he’ll remember for a long time to come. My sister and I still sometimes talk about the time our dad made kites for us on the Isle of Wight. They were made out of black bin bags

@Dr Egg Thanks for the SAS training, I’ll keep it in mind And I agree with Laura, it is a great book.

@Laura Thanks for stopping by again. Great to see you and thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m with you, I always say that a dirty child is a happy child. That’s my excuse anyway

After the birth of my second child, with my first only being 14 months at the time, I re-thought things a little and decided I had to prioritise. I’m not saying I always get it right and my to-do list is always far to long and as soon as I cross one thing off I am adding 3 more! When I only had one child my house was cleaner, the dishes were done more regularly, my to-do list was kept to a reasonable length, dinner was planned a week in advance, shopping was done once a week, and life was more ordered. Now, life is more busy, I get less jobs done, but my main priority is that my girls are happy and enjoying life. I’m not saying I get to play with them all day, but I have realised that I would rather have my house a little less clean if it means my children get more of me!
