I over did it!

I dislike weekends with a public holiday on a Monday because it kind of feels like I only get one day off that week. I said that to Mark on Sunday and he retorted "Am I THAT difficult?" it was hard to reply. It's not that he is difficult at all. It's just that when he is home I feel like I can't do things for myself, I should be at home and doing things as part of the family. On the days that I don't work, I get some me time and I find that the me time is really, really important. Time for me to be able to watch whatever I want on TV while Harris is asleep with out getting a groan of someone else disapproving of what I am watching on TV, grumbling when I say I am going to the shops etc. I just like that time to be able to do things on my own terms.

Part of it is actually the break of Harris and my normal week to week routine of play groups and visiting friends etc. He can be really hard work to entertain at home all day - which is again a reason why I don't feel like I get a break when  there is a public holiday.

It probably doesn't help that work has been particularly tough these past few weeks.

But thankfully that was the last public holiday until Christmas so life will go back to our normal routine.
