Back Again, Full of Good Intentions

Blogger have been very kind to have kept my account open for so long, sometime in July being my last posting. My journal will empathise: I am always full of good intentions.

The Musician started school in September and I was hopeful that this would allow me to do more meaningful activities. Due to lack of blogging and journalling, I am not really sure where the time has actually gone. Certainly, The Lawyer started an intensive swimming course (particularly intensive for those of us having to chauffeur and spectate him), which is due to finish this weekend, ready for him to embark another one on Monday. I have been using that as an excuse in many cases: lack of housework, hastily (but alas, not tastily) prepared dinners, not catching up with friends.

Whatever the reason, it all just adds to my theory of the Law of Diminishing Me-time that every mother knows. At every stage since The Lawyer was born, I have been looking ahead to the next stage as giving me more Me-time... I am next still looking ahead to the stage which, now The Boys are at primary school, looks likely to be secondary school. These phases seem to get longer...

I hope my sister, dandling her firstborn on her knee, doesn't read this...
