I'm feeling really drained at the moment: teaching a two year old to go to sleep on their own and not sneak into your bed at night inevitable means no sleep for everyone else! I know the battle will be worth it in the end of course. It's been a very long time since a full nights sleep was a routine occurrence. Blogging feels like hard work when I'm so tired and there's nothing that kills my blogging mojo more than feeling like I HAVE to write.
I do feel a little guilty about taking time off. I have plenty to write about but I need some time to relax and recharge my batteries. Oh, and catch up on the housework (just in case Mr. MB's reading). We all need a holiday now and again and I'm sure writing will be much easier when I feel better rested too.
So, I hope you will forgive me a little pause. I'll be back at the end of next week, renewed and refreshed. I will also be posting the Beauty Spotlight Roundup over the weekend as normal. Because I can't leave a post without picture, here's a look at how the boys look in today's Book Week dress up.
Speak to you all soon,
Jane xx
Very cute! Enjoy a break and rest up. I know the lack of sleep. I feel like I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past nine months. Even though this baby sleeps all night, he still drops out his pacifier at least once or twice and needs it back. Add to that a potty training grumpy 3 year old. One day we will sleep again, right?
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that sounds like even harder work. I don't look forward to potty training again. Miss MB has only slept through a handful of times, the boys were completely different and I think I was more disciplined too. I'm sure we'll sleep again eventually. Probably at the stage when they refuse to get out of bed! ;)
DeleteHope you get some sleep soon! Not sure we can do more than a week without your blog ;)))
ReplyDeleteThanks mafi. I know I'll be itching to post within a couple of days but the rest will be good. I'll be back before you know it :) x
DeleteFeet up and drink gin! Enjoy your week and don't worry, we will all wait. In no time at all your 2 yr old will be going out at 10pm with a face full of slap, a wallet full of cash and no likelihood of being back home before 7am! It's bliss, even if she does insist on sharing my bottle of wine before she goes out! xx
ReplyDeleteDude! We're meant to be making her feel better, not making her sob at the thought of 16 years time ;)
DeleteMB, enjoy your break. x
Wine sharing??!!! Debbie, I don't know if that's more horrifying than no sleep! ;)
DeleteThanks Grace. I'm going to be twitchy I'm sure but I'm looking forward to catching up on a bit of reading and film watching. I might even get round to playing with some makeup again!

Enjoy your rest, we will patiently await your return!! It sounds like you have a lot on, I don't know how you cope... I don't think I could handle three children and such a fab blog as well. Cute boys btw!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nuria. I have to admit it's getting harder to juggle everything the older they get. A rest will definitely do me good though I know I'll miss writing.
DeleteWhat little sweeties, I can really see you in both their little faces.
ReplyDeleteI think its good to take a break, I feel better now that I am posting less
xx
Thank you, they were so pleased with themselves today! It's good to hear that you feeling better with your change of pace. I've made an effort to slow down too. Totally off topic now but is it your birthday today or is it Sunday? My memory isn't playing ball but I wanted to wish you a lovely birthday xx
DeleteHello,
DeleteThanks you, its Sunday, was yours the 3rd or 5th? Hope you have a lovely day as well.
I've had most of my presents already, I did give my husband a makeup list but not sure I'll get anything on it! The problem is I know I been bought some hotel chocolat but I'll have to open it up in front of the little man and you know thats not going to go well, as it is I've had to buy him balloons, party hats etc for Sunday as he said we are having a birthday together and needing them for our party, wow partying with a 3 year old, I really am the definition of a party animal..... ;)
xx
It's tomorrow. I have nothing planned but the children will be expecting chocolate and cake. We can both be party animals together ;). Fingers crossed your list yields some goodies! xx
DeleteEnjoy your break babe x x
ReplyDeleteThanks Kellie, I feel a bit silly making it official but I need to make sure I stick to it! xx
DeleteTake a good long rest hun! We all appreciate the hard work and you need to st your own priorities. We'll still be around :))
ReplyDeleteNina x
Thank you Nina. I'm sure I will enjoy a little break. I've caught up on loads of things today (not the housework though *shhhhh*) so I'm sure I'll feel back on top of things are raring to go next week! How is everything with you? I know I keep saying it but I'd love to arrange another lunch/shopping outing soon xx
ReplyDeleteAw your boys are gorgeous. Enjoy the rest hon & don't worry, we'll all still be here when you get back. Good luck with the sleeping :)
ReplyDeleteNic xx
AW so cute! Take a rest, you need one from the blogworld. Real world awaits you. Hug those munchkins for me!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break and see you back here soon Jane!
ReplyDeleteYour boys are so adorable. I love the looks on their faces. Good luck with training your two year old. I think that's why I'm happy to be the grandma and not the mom now! And have a happy happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteTake the time you need and don't worry: we'll all be here when you're back!
ReplyDeleteSometimes even a hobby can feel like a chore, so a break is perfectly understandable, if not neccessary!

<3 When a hobby feels like a job, it's time to take a break and recharge. We'll be here when you get back!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Jane! Hope you had a lovely and happy day and that you enjoy your break and enjoy blogging once you come back. xx
ReplyDeleteYour boys are adorable! Look forward to your return when you have the free time! Best wishes xx
ReplyDeleteAww look at the baby Browns! So cute.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time off and happy birthday. It's a big month, as mine was Friday, and I think Perilously Pale's is tomorrow. Have a wonderful break! ♥♥
