When I volunteered myself to Very Bored in Catalunya to be tagged in this meme I’d been having a tough couple of days. Why, oh why would I do that? Well, I thought that this meme would be the perfect vehicle to get some of my whys out of my head and I have to admit it’s served its purpose.
Apparently, there are rules:
WHY am I tired all the time?
WHY am I eating so much chocolate, ice cream, and crisps?
WHY can I never find the motivation to run in the morning?
WHY did we book tickets to return from the US this summer after I really need to be back?
WHY can’t I find a knee length white dress for Megan’s wedding this summer?
WHY can’t the Boy leave the sofa cushions in place for even a day?
WHY do I keep clothes in my closet that I have never worn/haven’t worn in years?
WHY do I start so many posts and finish writing so few of them?
WHY hasn’t the Boy finished his Easter chocolate yet?
WHY am I struggling so much today?
WHY do I feel so disappointed even though I did really well with regards to university results?
WHY am I freezing cold in June?
WHY do fresh baked baguettes spread with sun-dried tomato paste taste so freakin’ good?
WHY do I always forget something crucial when I go to pick up necessities from the shop?
WHY does inspiration always hit when the Boy is finally asleep and I should be heading to bed?
WHY, oh why can’t hubby remember to put the garbage (bin bags) out of Friday mornings?
Now to tag some more bloggers to carry on this whinge-y meme…

Thanks for tagging me. Love your list of why’s most resonated with me but especially these two:
WHY do I keep clothes in my closet that I have never worn/haven’t worn in years?
For the first one – I had a stylist come by and do a wardrobe makeover, she didn’t have buy new clothes we went through everything I owned already and especially the things hidden in my closet never worn, and created outfits and new ways to wear them. It refreshed my look and gave me lots of new outfits with no extra money spent on clothes. Tips like, take out the suit jackets roll up the sleeves and pair with tshirt and jeans etc. Take that simple dress, wear funky tights and chunky necklace and it’s slightly hipper etc.
@TransatlantiMom I think a lot of it is that I have lots of summer clothes over here that I honestly don’t wear. I’m very tempted to leave some of them in my parent’s attic when I visit this summer.
My two haven’t finished their Easter Chocolate either. Seriously don’t they know it’s June?!
@PippaD We actually had some of his melt inside the packets as it was on the table in the sun, and he still hasn’t gotten around to eating it! Kids these days, eh?
