As you won't be aware, I'm studying for an SVQ in Playwork. While I'm really enjoying it, I had forgotten how stressful studying can be. It's even more of a strain these days with work, home life, housework and a 3 year old added into the equation. Why did we all wish to be older and GROWN UP?
Trying to find the time to do everything requires a delicate balance in my life, and let's be honest, I haven't got the best balance in the world at the best of times. I'm wobbly and trip over myself. So balancing all of this together has been no mean feat. So far, I've been managing, but by gosh I'm glad it's the holidays. I'm well overdue some time to relax and let my mind unwind.
That won't be happening this week though. We have plans to do our garden and sort out the forest it has become. Quite honestly, it's embarrassing but I spotted a garden just a few houses away from us that is a little bit more overgrown than ours so I don't feel quite so bad. But it's gotta change. I want to be able to spend time in our garden over the summer, let Laura go out to play in it and generally enjoy my time off. It will also be nicer to look out over. So I think we need to come up with a plan.
For the rest of summer, I need to also come up with a plan to gut the entire house. I'm thinking a room per week, with weekends off since I'm away most of them anyway. I hope this method works because there is honestly so much crap to get rid of, it's daunting. The charity shops around us will be delighted though, I'm sure. But a lot of it will be getting recycled or going to the dump as it's no use to anyone these days. I promise to recycle as much of it as I can, including electrical items, paper and clothing. It might also prompt me to keep losing weight if I don't have any clothes to wear...
I do have group on Tuesday morning and I signed up for a 6 week countdown to keep me inspired and committed but I don't think I'll have a problem with that since I'm enjoying what I'm eating and definitely not hungry.
But more on that in another post. I do digress somewhat.
