Life in early 40s

[Cloud44]

I know you shouldn’t compare to others but out of pure nosiness really and wanting to pick up some good habits what’s your life like in your early 40s?!

Busy!

Juggling working and everything that comes with having three children. Plus trying to keep on top of the main house chores - my washing pile is either climbing the walls or I’m drowning in clean laundry that needs putting away 🙈

I’m lucky that we have my in laws just up the road who help out with the kids and both me and my husband work from home.

My husband plays in a band once a week and does some volunteering each week, I barely make it to a gym session now I’ve up’s my hours at work.

I’m sure we could streamline chores and routines at home to save time.

We are lucky not to have any health issues and the kids are mostly well behaved and although we have notice increased costs, we can still afford everything we need.

So although I’d love a weekend away every now and then or a day to myself overall life is busy but good busy.

Does anyone else feel they are busy but not necessarily busy doing fun stuff anymore? Catching up with friends is a mission because everyone’s busy at different times, works full on, life just seems to be at a busy pace?!
