I tink as a stay at home / work at home Mum it seems to be far too easy to fall in to a bit of a trap of perhaps being somewhat on autopilot in terms of routine and things that you're doing throughout the day and the evening. Or at least, I've been finding that anyway.
I've caught myself a lot lately feeling a bit like all I do is be Mummy, clean, work, sleep and repeat. And whilst I love all of these things - being Mummy for obvious reason, sleep for obvious reasons, clean, because I actually enjoy cleaning most of the time and work, because I do something I really love. I do feel like there's an element missing. There doesn't seem to be much 'me time' in there and certainly not much social time, or even 'out of the house time'.
