Tired but smiling somewhere...
I'm exhausted at the end of a long, draining week of loads of kids, dozens of school runs and a teething toddler waking us all up at 5.30am every day.
It's nice to end the week thinking positive thoughts... here are my pockets of joy this Friday....
Painting a wild stormy sky in an hour - loving the result
New driving glasses - funky pink! Kids think mum's suddenly cool
My 3year old acrobat doing headstands and effortless yoga poses
My weekly creative group - more like group therapy
My 18month old singing and talking
A sociable week meeting lots of friends
Rediscovering the calming effect of chamomile tea
My eldest going on a sleepover tonight - maybe we won't have to get up at 6am tomorrow
The prospect of my lovely women's group on Sunday

It's been a while since I wrote Joy Pockets on a Friday. Due to popular demand, the Blog sisters are bringing them back.
Here's what I'm grateful for this week..
***
A night away in a hotel without the kids
A pint of Guinness (or two) in the afternoon
Getting my life back in small doses of fun - and being more organised
Buying myself a pair of rollerblades - having a midlife crisis at 40?
A fabulous coven of local creative friends working together on the Artist's Way
A midweek dip with my creative group in the Atlantic sea
Halloween parties - big smiles at my daughter's playschool this morning as everyone dressed up as witches
My eldest enjoying school, learning letters and making new friends (playdate today)
My 17-month-old's sleep-talking, saying 'tractor' perfectly in his sleep
Doing something about my post-pregnancy thinned hair (expensive pills but if it works I'll blog about it)
Entering competitions - hope I win something
Wearing new boots with a block heel. Wow I feel tall!
