I have two hours per morning when DD is in nursery but they almost always seem to vanish in a flurry of running erands...
BUT.... Today I actually managed to meet DH for lunch, (Pizza Express) and it felt so lovely that I didn't really speak very much, just wanted to enjoy the quiet with him. Lovely. Will make more effort to do it again soon and may even speak next time.
Right, so here are the probs / needs:
Certain that my brain has whithered away and is in desperate need of stimulation.
Body has also expanded beyond the Page Three girl that I am in my head and is now definitely more on the Burlesque range. This is mostly due to successfully giving up smoking (hurrah!) Then replacing it with baking (hurrah! Boo!) Need diet / exercise.
Social Skills are now modelled entirely on or around discussions of either autistic behaviour, as DS is ASD, or CBeebies & Co and in need of expansion into adult realms.
Currently, any spare time that I spend away from the family home is either at school, supermarket or church (yes church! but I don't know how that one happened as I was a catholic rebel the last time I checked).
All grown-ups that I know seem to be out at work all day when I have the most free time.
And finally... I did go for lunch with one mum who then informed me that I was the same age as her own mum!
So, in short,(and thanks for sticking with me for the long-winded whinge), I need to get a life or borrow one from somewhere to try it out for a while. Anyone got one spare? Am living in Leeds and willing to collect or pay for express delivery...
