Hello World I am back, There has certainly been a great deal of changes in my life.
I am now a working Mum, I work 5 days a week and needles to say after work I am shattered but I somehow manage to keep going - I am not going to tell you what I do as it would breach client confidentiality.
I also have started working with Tupperware Aus/NZ, I started working with them the same time I started in my other job so I am busy trying to balance those two while keeping the kids, hubby and fur baby happy.
The kids have had birthdays so they are now Miss 10 and Master 9, which means I have also had a birthday and I am closer to 40 than I would like!! but life goes on - I will have a mid-life crisis when I have a spare two weeks to myself.
The kids are sick and off school at the minute, master 9 has a ear infection and miss 10 has a chest infection and this all stemmed from a sore throat. So they are on Anti-biotics again - this is probably the 4th time this year they have been on Anti-biotics now I know that doesn't seem like a great deal to most people but when both kids have Asthma you kinda pay more attention to illness, colds, weather changes because well it could land us in hospital and that is not fun at all.
I have decided to re-do the Home Management Binder so that it fits with the fact I am now working because the one we have had for many years is not not practical anymore. While I was a SAHM it worked fine but I have come to realise that I just can't fit everything in and do it to the standard I used to. I hear you all screaming 'the kids should be helping out, why isn't everybody doing stuff to help you out?", to be honest it is quicker for me to do it on my own - the kids do have jobs that they have to do and well that was a battle getting those done but we are finally there. I am finding that I have one day to do all of my house work and I don't get a chance to spend time with the kids or hubby on the weekend because of it and well weekends should be for having some down time not working more so the Home Management Binder should help me work smarter not harder
So when I get my binder finished I will put up photos to show you what I did, I understand what works for me may not work for you and if it does that is great but please don't take what I say as the be all and end all to household management. I have spent many hours trawling the internet looking at blogs, you tube on household binders and I have pulled bits from each and tweeted it to fit our family.
With Christmas right around the corner ( 20 days to be exact :/) the tree has been put up, have done some decorating, haven't done any Christmas cards and haven't even contemplated cooking I am wondering when I am going to get the presents bought and wrapped. Time seems to be on fast forward and I can't find the remote to press pause, I think I am going to have to pretend I have a meeting on one night and go and get the shopping done. I am looking forward to the break that comes with Christmas and Boxing Day, time to stop and sit and do as little as possible, possibly watch some of the cricket and stay out of the heat - mind you it doesn't feel like summer today it is more like early spring when they forgot to turn the temperature up!!, the wind will help get my washing dry and the fresh air flowing through the house makes me feel like the bugs that are causing the kids to be sick are being blown out.
