Lately, I've been acting a lot more mature, and I don't mean this in a good coming-of-age way. I'm talking terrifyingly predictable - ie. work all day, make dinner, eat dinner, give kids a bath, stories, bedtime, then we put on a pot of water for tea (Twinings which, for the record, we did way before Fifty Shades of Grey), then work some more, then crash. Zzzzz. It's not that I don't like being a mom, because I love it. And I'm not saying I don't like to work, because I really do. It's just that nothing good can possibly come of the constant routininess of it all, especially when endless piles of laundry are involved.
What I mean, is that I'm beyond ready to bust it. I'm ready to eat, drink and be embarassingly merry. I'm ready to sparkle my way into a snowbank somewhere and just chill out there for a minute, then get back up and shuffle my way to the next party. I'm actually even ready to feel tired the next day - in a good way.
I've got a rocking holiday wardrobe all planned out (which I wholeheartedly encourage you to try on for size btw) should any tempting invites come my way. You hosting?
