Quiet...

Ahhh my favourite time of the day, the hour or so earlier that I make myself get up just to have the house to myself. 
Usually I find myself on here, checking Facebook, doing all the little online jobs and then settling down with a book till it's time to awake the eldest ready for school.
No school today, or tomorrow for that matter so will leave them to sleep in as much as possible, it is silence to my ears, from now on this time will be spent blogging as I just can't seem to find the time to sit down during the rest of the day.
So many thoughts to get out, and so frustrated that I haven't been able to find the time to sit down and type....

30 Things Before 30

I have been inspired to finally write this list.  I have just over a year to tick them off, as my reward if I complete it I will give myself that Skydive I have always wanted to do for my 30th Birthday.  It's nothing spectacular but simply a list of things that I want to achieve for myself, some things I've never done, some are things I keep putting off, or things I tell myself I don't have time for, some I stole from a friend, but they were just so good that I had to....So here goes:

1. Learn to ride a motorbike again.
2. Run a 10km fun-run
3. Finish my right sleeve.
4. Keep a blog going.
5. Full splits on at least one side.
6. Learn to knit.
7. Attend a charity ball.
8. Have a professional make-up lesson.
9. Full spa treatment, the works from top to toe.
10. Buy myself a diamond. (even if only a teeny tiny little one)
11. Kiss a stranger.
12. Get a pushbike and ride with the kids.
13. Learn to just breathe and let go of things that I can not change.
14. Spend an afternoon just trying on pretty dresses for the sake of it.
15. Go to a gold-class cinema screening.
16. Play a sport I love again.
17. Make a 30 before 30 playlist, a soundtrack to this year...
18. Do some volunteer work.
19. Take the kids to the beach for a weekend away.
20. Write a Will.
21. Get Life Insurance.
22. Have a full medical checkup.
23. Learn to make sushi.
24. Hit my Handspring 99% of the time instead of around 50%.
25. Frock up and attend a race meeting.
26. Go Bowling
27. Ride in a Limo
28. Paint the bedrooms.
29. Dance in the rain at last once.
30. Learn to believe that I deserve the best, that I do not have to settle for anything less....

Lets see where this list takes me.

I can do this.....

So, it's been quite a while since I created this blog and then did nothing with it.  But an old friend has inspired me to really do this, to write, maybe not every day, but regularly.  I will write about something, or nothing, depending on what kind of day it is, I will make the time to do something I love just for myself because I deserve it.  And if nobody but me ever reads it then so what, they may just be missing out on something amazing....
