Must Try Harder!

See? I told you so! (And now I sound like my 9-year-old and her friends.)
Only a couple of weeks in and already I'm lagging on the blog front.

In my defence, we have been away - and a jolly good time was had by all. Theoretically I could have updated via BlackBerry - but who wants to bother with that when there's fun to be had doing things?

Not only was it great family time, it was educational too. We learned that when there's a deadline - like a theatre performance - it's a really good idea to know exactly where you're going when you get off the tube. Especially when London is experiencing a torrential downpour that sees a month's rain fall in an hour......... The Boy learned that when Media Mum buys an umbrella and asks if he'd like one too, it's wise to say yes if you don't want to arrive looking like a drowned rat. Media Dad discovered that asking for directions can be beneficial, and Princess can now walk really quickly in 'party' shoes. See? We all learned something!

But the best bit was having time to laugh and enjoy being a family. Sometimes the rest of life gets in the way, and it's all too easy to put things off until 'tomorow'. We all know that tomorrow never comes.

So I'm re-affirming the intention I had when I first started working for myself - that I'd take a good chunk of the summer break off to focus on the kids, and not spend it all at my desk. Which means it might be another couple of weeks before I post regularly but hey, I can live with that.
