I would like a day off

Whilst scraping off Weetabix, or as it was aptly renamed by a friend with four young children, Weld-a-bix!, from my Daughters face, highchair and myself I started to think. I looked round at the chaos of my living room and remembered a time when if I tidied up it stayed tidy for a week, now it is never tidy.
I thought about what my life was like before I had my Daughter and to be fair it was pretty shallow, don't get me wrong I am not suggesting that now I am a Mother my life is more fulfilling and meaningful than a single person, on the contrary my life is quite humdrum hence the name of this Blog.
I do not want to be the person who says "Once you have Children you will understand", however true that statement is no young Woman wants to hear that.
What I would say to young single Women is the three S's.
SLEEP. Please sleep, sleep as much as you can, have at least 8 hours a night and sleep in at every opportunity, it is not a waste of the day as your Mother told you (she was just jealous because she wasn't getting any, sleep that is, steady!).
SHOP. Yes it is shallow and very pleasurable. Buy lots of skinny jeans and really short skirts and strut your stuff, life is too short to cover up.
Be SINGLE. It is no secret that I enjoyed my single life. No point putting up with a pain in the behind boyfriend when you are young, dump him, delete his number and move on. It is also true that not having a boyfriend is great, most of my life has been single I should know.

I love my Partner and Daughter they mean the world to me and I now have my own family, it happened naturally and for a reason. It doesn't mean that while I am listening to my Daughter crying I don't want a day off sometime, just an hour or so..............
