the lie that keeps us unavailable, unreachable and unchangeable

I'm sitting on my couch with a half drunken coffee and feeling slightly sick after having had a breakfast of half a dozen chocolate chip biscuits {yes total emotional eating I know!!} Feeling like crap, feeling flat. Just in time to look out the window to see that mum running past all fit and wearing pink with headphones. Oh wow feeling like a whale now!! Am I the only one feeling like this today? And then I think of my friends and picture them in their neat homes (??) with their great morning routine success (??) already perky and ready for the day (????!) Who knows, who really knows.... And I'm on the couch writing. What do we do when we are angry, overwhelmed, emotional?? This morning I yelled, pulled arms too hard, spat harsh words to my husband. stomped and hissed. I missed it. I messed up!! But who really knows? Who see's us at our worst? Our kids... our husbands....who beyond those in our home?? I dont even really know what the point of this is apa

Shining LIGHT on our drawers...

Its winter - a time where the land rests... Its also a great time to prune!! So I'm pruning. Going drawer by drawer. Closet by closet and going through every inch of the insides of the house when I can. I no longer want all these excess parts around - I'm sure its all apart of the grander scheme of Chaos. So its all got to go. I'm giving Facebook a rest - and have gone through my 20,000 emails!!! and unsubscribed to countless things that I have no interest in any more - something kinda fun about digging up the hold of the trash compartment in my emails to find the last 7 years of emails stored in the holds. So its pruning season - and I'm learning to enjoy the feeling of less. Less stuff, Less mess, Less excess.... It all takes time and that moment of decision where your heart says "oh but I might use this one day... or I will read that one day...." but in the end its just another burden placed upon yourself to hold onto everything

keeping it simple + the best thing + ditching TV = not for the faint hearted*

So about two months ago we ditched TV during the week (90% of the time) and made it a treat for the weekend... Why you might ask? Well for myself I felt like I was using it waay too much as a babysitting tool...I didn't know what else to do with them... survival...the easiest option.... And I guess it just got to the point where it didn't sit well with me and all I could think was... I don't want my 5 year old... 10 year...my 15 year old.... sitting zoned out on a beautiful day. For a long time there we were a little in the dark ages only using tv for dvds and not connected up to a TV supplier... but that didn't lessen the amount I'd let them watch - mainly Mr 4 year old {as Mr 2 year old doesn't sit long enough to watch anything unless its about robots, horsey's, or dinosaurs} The first two days were the worst!!! As our Four year old (mr routine) was not a happy chappy esp in the mornings as his routine had been wake up - put a dvd on - have brea
