Being a grown up is hard, this is how I have found it…
2018 was a really tough year, tough on our health as a family, on our finances, on our social lives… and the toughest on our marriage. Not because I love my husband any less, because I don’t. Really just because I have been struggling to connect. Connecting with your spouse is hard.
YUCK! It even feels terrible writing that.
In August this year BOS Sport announced their #TeamUp competition, I had mentioned back then how badly I wanted to be a Sport Mom way back when Emma was a little girl and also how wonderfully I failed at that. More about that here…
Anxiety has become such an easy word to use lately, with more and more people coming out about the fact that they struggle with it. Does it make it easier to deal with? I think sometimes it does. More times than not though it doesn’t. Just because it’s more common doesn’t necessarily mean that anyone understands better, or is even more empathetic about it. It’s just another thing to pop a pill for. Except that it’s not.
When the Color Run first hit SA I don’t know a single person who didn’t want to join in on that fun, and every year thereafter the Color Run has just upped the ante – in all the best ways! This year Port Elizabeth you are in for a treat as they bring The Carnival Tour to the streets of the Bay. More clowning and less frowning!
First of all let me start off by saying we have been waiting for Avengers Infinity War since 2012 when Thanos made his first appearance in The Avengers post credit scene. This movie was the culmination of the last 10 years of Marvel movies and the 19th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ian and I got tickets for the second screening on the day it was released, the cinema was PACKED! Marvel fans EVERY-WHERE. All of them doing this nod like although they didn’t really know one another the fact that you dragged yourself out of bed at this hour to come to the movies…we are on the same page. We have a common goal. Dare I say it? We are friends, if only just for the next couple of hours.
