And breath

Things have been crazy lately. Seriously just not enough hours in the day! I was caught up negotiating the terms of a promotion the hours, the pay, it was pretty stressful it's even impacted on my sleep which is not like me at all I'm normally super chill but I think it's because I've known this promotion was coming for awhile but I did'nt think I would have to negotiate terms. So I was feeling pretty buried by it, normally I leave work and I don't think about it until I'm back in work but with all this going on work was ALL I could think about.

It's finally all sorted now and I'm really looking forward to our Rome trip so I can get away form it all. I'm feeling super uptight I've tried to be more mindful the last couple of days making sure I'm getting enough sleep and eating right and trying to take a little bit of time just for me, but like everyone else with kids that's easier said then done. Your want for a little bit of time by yourself is often met with the guilt of not spending your time with your bubs!

So this trip could not have been better timed.

Hubs and I have not had a proper hoilday away alone since our honeymoon so this gives us both sometime to recharge our batteries and reconnect with each other. In the hussel and bussel of work, laundry and dirty nappies it's easy to lose eachother.

I'm trying to overcome the anxiety I fell about leaving the kids behind by focusing on the positive side of the holiday, like being able to eat wherever we want and not having to worry if there is a kids menu and getting up when we wake up not when a time confused toddler tells us to haha. I've never been to Rome before but have always had a deep yearning to go and explore and see the sites and how beautiful it is and to be able to chill in the evening with a bottle of wine on a nice terrace somewhere with hubs and revisit the "us" we were before the two bubs came along. Not that we would have it any other way but sometimes it's nice to remembr you're more than mom and dad.
