Those that know me well, know that I have a terrible tendency to over-schedule myself.
I pack in every spare moment of time with projects, plans and routines and keep Very Busy [tm]. I need to justify every spare minute and then get upset when a day doesn’t go to plan and I don’t Get Things Done.
Recently, things have escalated to the point where I haven’t really been enjoying any of it. The To Do List started ruling me, rather than me ruling it. For the last few weeks I have thrown out all the lists and just been pottering about doing the stuff that can’t be put off and then just working on whatever I fancy. It’s been good.
The thing is, the blog and the podcast seem very low down on the now non-existent list of “things I fancy doing”. So where I’ve bothered, it’s been half-hearted at best. That’s not particularly good, and I thought you guys ought to at least know what’s happening.
So, I’m officially on hiatus. I know myself well enough to know that this won’t last. I like structure in my life far too much, I like the internet too much, not to return to some sort of more productive routine after a bit of a break. And then I’ll go through the whole cycle again. But for now, I’m off.
I’m giving myself the summer. Going to have a really good break. See Li’l Bhaji into school… then… we’ll see. I’m not saying I won’t post here from time to time, but I’m not saying I will be either. If you feel that’s not worth you sticking around, then I quite understand. For the rest of you, feel free to subscribe to the RSS so you don’t have to keep popping in “just in case”.
And have a great summer, won’t you?

I love RSS, I don’t know how I ever coped without it! People taking a break doesn’t bother me in the least as I get notified when they return.
If you haven’t subscribed to the Prattle, you should!

And have a great summer back!
Enjoy your break – ah yes, being a stay-at-home mum, aren’t we all supposed to be sitting back and watching tv all day – ha!

Good for you – have a great break and come back refreshed. Or not, if you don’t feel like it. We’ll be fine *sniff*, honest.
