We spent a lovely weekend in the bushveld with very special friends - think champagne, game drives, afternoon swims and a little bit of madness and laughing around the fire after dinner on Saturday night. It really was food for the soul!
Being away just helped to put everything in perspective a little bit, after we had eventually packed and eventually gotten in the car and out of Johannesburg.
Things have been mental (for lack of a better word) around our house the past two weeks since I started working. The ever shifting and ridiculous deadlines have meant that I just haven't been able to find the 'off' switch, and only get into bed after midnight as there is always just so much to do. And that means I've become not such a nice person and a very distracted Mommy.
But if I get nothing out of this whole working-part-time experience, at least it has helped me realise where I do need to be putting my energy and focus and to maybe just turn off the ambition for a little while. After all, the beauty of a wife and mother is in her being, not in her doing.
Sorry, I got a little distracted from the usual 'weekend that was' formula I follow on this blog.
I am looking forward to things getting back to normal (as much as they can) chez du Plessis, and am also looking forward to finding more time for blogging.
See you in the week,
xxx
