On reflection / Our Summer...

And so, Summer comes to a close. 

As we left the school gates at the end of term there was talk of 'school camps, tennis clubs' and other assortments of fabulous (and for me equally scary) things! I thought to myself eeeck have I made a mistake - I have a 3 year old, two dogs and 10 weeks - and most importantly nothing organised.

But - I am happy to say that with a handful of fantastic play-dates, some great friends, a few wobbles, a subscription to the zoo - we have had a fantastic Summer! 

Just note to self - don't wear sneakers all next Summer as they leave odd and rather unsightly tan lines...

The School Gate & High Heels...

 For reference... Mr Happy face...

...& Mr Greedy tummy!

It occurred to me today just how much I hide behind what I wear. The more difficult the times, the bigger the sunglasses and the higher the heels! but there in lies a wee problem, I can't drive in heels and there fore end up on the 'school run' wearing beaten up sneakers. Not a problem but as 'the school gate' situation terrifies me (everyone seem so fabulous, so in control!) that I shuffle! So do I change my shoes to walk the 500 yards, continue to do what looks like the 'dodgy mum shuffle' or just get a grip?! 

Enough said - I'll get a grip! (writing anything down is so therapeutic - or just plain old scary to see how bonkers I sound!)
