How the heck are you all? Goodness knows where I’ve been all week, it’s not as though I haven’t got an abundance of free mornings and nights in front of the TV on my hands now is it…?
It’s just been one of those weeks where extreme self care takes priority and nothing much else matters other than shaving my legs and stockpiling DVD’s for Winter hibernation… and I think that’s ok isn’t it? To close down a little bit, to take stock and eat things that quite frankly shouldn’t be allowed, like the egg and sausage mcmuffin I devoured sitting in the car all by myself on Thursday morning, safe in the knowledge that there is no pleasure that quite compares to a guilty one at nine o’clock on a weekday morning, while the rest of the world works and I sit twiddling my thumbs and wondering what is going to become of me…
(What in the name of all that is scrumptious is going to become of me??)
Anyway back to the issue in hand. Extreme self care. A few weeks ago a BrocanteHome reader asked me whether this line from The HouseKeepers Creed was a typo…
*Give into exhaustion and put yourself before everything and everybody else*
Did I mean, she seemed to be saying, put yourself after everything and everybody else? Well no my Darlings, I didn’t: I meant make you your priority. I meant look after yourself stupidly well so you are willing and able to cope with the demands the rest of the world will always lay on your shoulders. I meant somedays it is more than acceptable to say b****r the lot of them and take yourself out on a creative excursion in search of ribbon trimmed knickers and some matching boobie covers (as Finley likes to call them), a jar of german hot dogs and some pickled onions if thats what is tickling your fancy…
What exactly am I advocating here? Time out occasionally, that’s all. Nothing scandalous. Nothing that will make you the talk of the neighbourhood or have you hauled off to the divorce courts, just a little time out from work and kids and tattered wonderful relationships and making enough casseroles to last you into the next millenium just in case theres an award for a well stocked freezer in heaven. I ‘m advocating saying no to coffee with the yummy mummie at the school gates and taking a bath in a blissfully empty house instead. I’m saying no-one will know if you switch your phone off for half an hour and take a nap, or if, like me you buy a macmuffin and eat it sitting in a supermarket car park as though you haven’t got a care in the world. I’m saying don’t fill your head with conversations you don’t want to be having, or arguments you want no part of. I’m saying if you are exhausted you need to stop, rest, if only to prevent the kind of behavior usually associated with a raving banshee…
Thats all. I’m saying look after you, cos goddamn it no-one else will, so step outside of yourself occassionally. Be kinder to you than you have ever ever been to anyone else. Stop ignoring tiredness, do away with the waste of time that is guilt and do what you have to do to feel like you matter if only to yourself. Shout you are tired or lonely or frustrated right from the rooftops if thats what it takes to be heard…
It is Saturday night again. Little Children is waiting next to the DVD. A new novel, and the remnants of lasts night shared supper, blacksticks blue cheese, onion and carrot chutney, salt beef and champagne, good champagne waiting for me. Champagne. All by myself. Because I can and I must. I really must.
It is here. I can feel it. Though my beloved chamelia has not yet bloomed I know Spring is waiting in the wings and it is making me feel…antsy. Yes that’s it: antsy. For this is what being on the crux of anything, let alone a new season will make you feel, antsy, eager, twitchy…
So there I was reading my about me page, when it struck me that a whole lotta lotta has changed since I wrote my original 101 things about me… So here I am, purely for my own pleasure, re-inventing myself… 1. I still despise Mariah Carey. I can’t help it. Poor woman doesn’t deserve it….
” To show the way to run one’s home without help, efficiently and happily too, has been the object of this book. But a guide can only point out the path. Of course there will be rough places on the way and setbacks. Days when the jelly won’t jell, the housework seems a meaningless grind,…
There are things in this life you do not know you need until you happen upon them and then you need them with every fibre of your being. Case in point? This pink hosepipe and white antler mount from Garden Glory. I mean really, as my ex Irish Mother-In-Law used to say, would you be…
Cleaning The Vinegar Institute – Uses & Tips Love the stuff. Debrada’s Green Clean Catalog Safety Girl How to make the perfect cup of tea. MenKnit.net Almost there…Men’s Knitting Site for Men Who Knit Christmas Day With Cath Kidston. Lena Proudlock For Sugar, it’s spice and all things nice. Just how nice can Martha be?…
Right on! I have totally been there the last week or so, and it just has to be done! To the curb with all of the other people in our lives "WANTING" "NEEDING" "DEMANDING" they are and need to be capable of fending for themselves (mothers, mothers-in-law, husbands included)… because afterall and as you said Alison, if we don't take care of ourselves, no one else will. And like that old saying goes, "Who were you before you put yourself last?" Sail on Silver Girl!!! Jenny
…boobie covers…loveitloveitloveit!!!! Is it just me that loves that the evenings have become darker earlier? Does anyone else revel in the sorting through of scarves and gloves – the essential pampering you describe feels so much better when it's cold outside…
I was doing a google search and ended up at one of your pages from quite a while back. I wondered if you might remember this: 86. I'm not scared of anything. Not any more. I think I've gone through phases of feeling stronger than I ever have but, I've also gone through phases of needing some time to gather my strength. Both are necessary parts of making who we are. Blessings… Polly
What you call extreme self-care, I try to make part of my regular life: guilt-free time away from the children a few hours a week, an occasional movie or trip to Borders alone,saying No to some things and YES to others, occasional girls' weekends away. I really think it does make us all better mothers and people. Good luck with making it part of your life too!
YESS!!! I like also how Anne Lamott said it: treat yourself like an elderly aunt – take yourself by the hand as you would that aunt and be gentle to yourself. This is not being selfish. Selfish is different (not sure how to explain, but I think, from the comments, you all know already!).
I love, love, love, your blog and I'm using your housekeeping journal and I think you write in a way that inspires women. But…I do wish you would not ruin it all by using the Lord's name in vain. To me, and to other christian women, this is not necessary, and we hear enough cursing on the street. Otherwise, keep up the lovely job you are doing uplifting women. Tess
Just felt that l needed to comment on what Tess had said about aking the Lord's name in vain etc. I think that it is important that we just enjoy this blog and no try and turn it into something that it is not and has never claimed to be !! So here is to all of us taking Alison's advice and taking part in some extreme self care x
I have had to learn this lesson the hard way… I have fought pneumonia for 3 weeks now, and am still not doing well… If I'd have taken better care of myself, maybe I wouldn't have gotten so sick…
Myself, I had to have a bit of a rueful laugh that 'bugger' was disguised with astericks but 'goddamn' wasn't. I love Alison's blog and visit almost daily, but I gotta back Tess up on this one… that particular word did ruin the momentum of a post that was, until that moment, very enjoyable to read. And I do realize, as a previous poster noted, that religion is not part of this site's identity (and that's quite alright), but isn't the comments section a spot for readers to respectfully comment on the things that strike a chord (for better or worse) in us all? I shouldn't think Tess and I are the only faithful readers who happen to be Christian, and we should be allowed to give input, too. What Alison decides to do with that input is, of course, up to her, and that's the way it should be. Best wishes to everyone for a lovely Sunday!
Alison writes perfectly, her style is her own and I am certain she does not ever mean to offend, I cannot believe that anyone can get so uptight about a word like Godamn! I mean am I totally stupid,how does this offend? I can think of a lot worse.
Don't I remember something about throwing stones in glass houses, or perhaps something else about "Christian tolerance" and turning the other cheek? Hang in there Alison, you will find your path, and for the record, I find your post funny, poignant, and wonderful as hell, goddess-dammit! Anna Marie
Here Here!! I've had a cold all weekend and took your advice and have called in sick (Which I am…though almost recovered) so I can indulge myself with 1) walking the dog (done and thoroughly enjoyed ) 2) coffee and croisants 3) getting hair done 4) watching a movie that my hubbie would hate, probably Amelie, Splash or Breakfast at Tiffany's. Thank you for the inspiration today and all days! x LA x
Another post well written. I definitely need to be taking time for myself at the moment. It's good to be reminded about that. Thanks Alison. Just love the idea of eating the McDonalds in the carpark. I did something similar on Saturday night. I went to Ikea then treated myself to one of their lovely large(and cheap) hotdogs on the way out which I enjoyed in my car in the carpark. Please ignore the Goddam comments Alison. Those people are entitled to their views but if they don't like what you write they don't have to read it. I love the way you write, including those words that make it more real. x
Oh gosh, what a lovely post, and how true! I just posted on Saturday about how I went back to work too soon, and put myself out of action for the best part of a week…and am still recovering! If only I had taken the time out to put myself first. Me, I loved that part of the creed, and have printed it out for my fridge. I like to think of it in the same way as when you are in an aeroplane- you put your own oxygen mask on first, then you are able to help everyone else!
ps gotta say, mmmmmmmmmmfor mcmuffins! Perhaps they are so lovely because they are so wrong?! And Alison, what will become of you? Your authentic self is what will become of you 😉
Your blog is very charming – elegant and classy. I do enjoy seing a 'bad' word every now and again. It make you seem more human. I am suprised some readers are offended by the G word since this is not a Christian blog. Plus, a true offense to the Lord is any form of violence in His name! Alison May does not strike me as violent. 🙂 Although my first langage is French, I can appreciate your talent – will keep on leaving comments on your blog over and over again to encourage you to write a book. I have this gut-feeling it would be a success. (or is it spelled sucess ?). Thank's for this fantastic post. You are right: you can't love other people unless you love yourself. Take extreme care!
