Puppy dog syndrome
Something interesting occurred to me last night. I have been aware for a while that my general productivity etc declines sharply when R is around, but I’ve only just realised why that is. When she’s around, I follow her about like a lost puppy. Sometimes I literally wander about the house after her snatching hugs and kisses when I can and sometimes I’m just mentally wandering after her. I’m such a sop 
I just like it when she’s around, more so when I can look over and see her – and added to that the distraction of playing with the little one and organising him it’s no wonder I manage to put off everything I’m supposed to do.
So the solution? Nothing major I think – the obvious answer is to have R and B around less, which is patently unnacceptable so I think I just need to learn to go about my own business while they’re in the house – interact with them, spend some time playing with the muppet etc but still cruise on and get my own bits and pieces done. I never used to be so bad at this – I think the closer we’ve grown the more I dote on the pair of them. Plus I do just revel in it all sometimes – it’s pretty amazing to be so immersed in love and happiness so constantly. Some of this is a hangover from the past obviously – a little fear of repeating mistakes perhaps, I know I can be over-cautious about these things. Once again, it comes down to balance – now that I can see the purpose I can achieve it, so I’ll let you know how it turns out…
