Midlife Crisis in France

Superwoman

I have realised that I can’t be superwoman. Some of you are thinking probably now, how pretentious! It’s not meant to be. It’s just the realisation that I can’t work, do a blog, lose weight to have a bikini bod, renovate a house, run a family and also move 372 kilometres with 3 teens, 3 cats and a dog that has to be looked after 24hrs a day like a toddler for fear she might destroy yet another thing… And breathe!

Normal behaviour though with a Samoyed, and we accepted that quirk of hers as part of the package. However something has to give, and so the regular posts have dwindled for the past month and probably will be vastly reduced for the next, but I will be back in full force from September. Until then, enjoy the posts that do come and the multiple photos of our journey that will come your way.

“They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”

As the year nears its end, I find myself wondering about the sanity of starting a blog. Hanging out your washing to dry for all to see was not the intention but more an evaluation of whether we could live more sustainably in a society that buffets us consistently with consumerism dilemmas. Should we try…
