And I love hanging out with people.
I love playdates, and girl's nights out, and dinner parties, and BBQs, and events, and movies, and restaurants, and just being with people.
But when things get busy, or tough, or overwhelming, or confusing or whatever, I need time to myself to refresh and regroup. To re-set myself to take on life and the world.
Which is kind of how I'm feeling at the moment. Life has been busy these past few weeks. Full of fun stuff like playdates with water-based jumping castles and slides!
We've been to parties for birthdays and footy finals. We've spent plenty of awesome time hanging out with friends. Being the school holidays, the Little Big Fella has been home so we've had a sleepover and friends over.
It's all been absolutely awesome and fun.
And because of all this awesome fun-ness, my normal routines haven't been working for me and my most productive time of day has been filled with other things. Which leaves me feeling overwhelmed by the mess in my house (particularly the dust!) and the long list of things that need doing that I just don't seem to be getting to!
Which, of course, has me mildly stressing because I'm supposed to start working soon and I'm wondering how that's going to work out.
The Big Fella is about to go off on a Northern fishing adventure for a week. I'll miss him heaps, but at the same time, I'm kind of looking forward to having the chance to catch up with myself.
It's kind of funny though. Time by myself, refreshing and re-setting normally includes a whole new bunch of "to-do's". But because they're often craft or organising, and I can set my own schedule and pace, it works for me.
I'm working on some Halloween paper mache pumpkins, and I have some sewing to do, and a costume to create, and some balloon sculpting to practice...
Hmmm, maybe I need a holiday! ;-D
