The last few weeks have been non-stop craziness for me and I've barely had time to stop and catch my breath. I don't mind being busy, in fact I rather enjoy it when the adrenaline is pumping but this week my list of things to do has been getting longer and longer with few things getting ticked off.
When I find myself in that situation, to stop myself feeling overwhelmed, I try to notice the little things that make me happy. I take a moment to look out the window at work and see the fields covered in frost looking beautiful. I stop to eat my lunch with my colleagues rather than eating at my desk so we can share stories of our weekends. I walk home with the kids after school and listen to them talk about their day. It's too easy to miss out on the important things and I don't want life to pass me by in a blur.
And I'm gradually working my way through my list of jobs and finding creative solutions to getting things done. For example, I've discovered that our dry cleaners can also get my boots re - heeled so I don't have to drag the kids into town. Happy Days!
Now I need to go and do my food shopping online and see if I can get an invite to my mum's for lunch over the weekend!
