It would be nice if you could step off the fast train you are on sometimes................just pause for a while......take a deep breath...........re-energise and feel ready to step back on. Life isn't like that unfortunately!
A busy weekend away for a family birthday gathering. Unfortunately, I was under the weather for most of it, but I was glad to be there. Just an unexpected late night drive home and then having to wait up to ridiculous hours in the morning putting on two loads of school uniform wash, because I was behind last week with illness.
So, today, a HUGE amount to do. I need tooth picks to keep my eyes open, but most importantly, a good cuppa in a pretty cup. That always perks me up and keeps me going just that little bit longer!
Sorry, i'm behind in my visits, it's going to take me 'til the end of the week to catch up with all the goings on in blogland!
Happy Monday!!!

Hope you are feeling better. I know what you mean about life being like a fast train. Sometimes it feels relentless - a constant round of washing, ironing, cleaning, cooking etc. It's exhausting. It's so important for us mums to have "me" time and to not feel guilty about it. I should take a leaf out of my own book lol! Have a good week x x
ReplyDeleteA lovely cup of tea in a beautiful cup like that should help. I hate that feeling when you want to stop and have a breather but there's just not time. I hope you start to feel better soon. x
ReplyDeleteI nearly bought this cup! Marks and Spencers methinks, they also have lovely biccie tins there at the mo. I hope you are feeling better, I feel a bit like that today, plodding along. The pretty little things always make it better.

A little cup of something gorgeous- in that lovely cup would perk you up a little....
ReplyDeleteHope you feeling a bit better...& that the sunshine has come out for you...
Somehow the weather can make or break your recovery, don't you think...
Hugs from here...Melissa xx

ReplyDeleteYes, just looking at your pretty teacup puts me in a good frame of mind for my day. Do you think, as mothers, we will just be tired now until the end of time? Feels like that today!

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI was like that for the last 2wks, full of cold and under the weather, luckily I've finally shrugged it off and I also found a bit of R&R went a long way.
Hope you feel better soon.

Poor thing, hope you are feeling better now with that pretty cup of tea, have a hug as well! Lots of love, Linda x
ReplyDeleteGolly gosh I love your cup and saucer and little teaspoon. Not that I'm jealous or anything!
ReplyDeletePoor you - life can feel relentless sometimes and the tasks just seem to multiply when you're under the weather. The beautiful cup and saucer would certainly cheer me up - hope it's worked for you today too. And I hope you soon feel better and that overwhelmed feeling disappears. Happy rest of the week - love your pretty coloured words there!

Thank you so much for coming to my vintage party this weekend

Big huge hugs from me.
I know I could do with a big one too!

Hopefully your cuppa has given you the pick-me-up you need! Put your feet up with another one and a little bit of hooky and you'll feel much better! Cx
ReplyDeletePoor you, sometimes life gets a bit crazy, doesn't it? If it's any consolation, you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed. Step back from all but the essential things and don't feel guilty about doing things 'just for you'.
