I have just spent a wonderful afternoon browsing around the beautiful town of Hay on Wye. A delightful place with lots of places to explore. I didn't even need to spend any money, the opportunity just to be me and have time for me was enough. I think this break away from the children has been long overdue.
Don't get me wrong, I love them to bits, I enjoy their company and doing things with them, but just once in a while it is good to to take time out from balancing all those balls in the air. Life as a working mum is one crazy ride and sometimes it's good to just stop.
Not having to think about what's for tea tonight (planning to live off ready meals or other people's kindness for a few days), and starting the bath and bedtime routine will be very refreshing.
Should I be missing them yet? My mum thinks so and I am sure I will do......at some point. But, for now I am just going to enjoy the peace and quiet and well earned (in my opinion) break from routine.
