It’s gonna be a late night

So here I am again, with piles of paperwork on either side of my laptop as I try to prepare myself for a big presentation tomorrow. And quite frankly, I'm not really in the right frame of mind for working - I just want to sleep! So short and sweet from me tonight...  See you on the …

TGIF!! Oh no, wait…

My brain is clearly addled.  This afternoon I was starting to get a little excited at the prospect that today was Friday and the weekend was here.  It wasn't until I got home that I realised that it was actually still Thursday! I guess technically it is my Friday as I don't work tomorrow (although …

Groundhog day

  Yup, kinda sums up my day today!  Did we not do all of this yesterday???? Sick kids, swamped in work, trying to get on top of it all!!!  Arggghhh!!! Had grand plans for the blog this week! Turns out that idea was a case of go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect …

#baconsandwich

And there are some days where there is only enough energy for this: What is your go-to comfort food when you have a case of the CBFs? How has your week been going this week? PS. I finish writing this post and then saw this: Why you should never eat a bacon sandwich #baconsandwichesarebad #apparently #stilltasteawesomethough

The long and (not so) windy road

So most of my afternoon has been spent staring down this white line again... But we finally made it home! It's taken us eight hours, a couple of stops (including a brief catch up with a couple of fabulous friends) and dinner in a dodgy roadside cafe before we got here and in spite of having The …

Wanted… my mojo back

Today I am feeling soooooo flat.  Surely one busy day hasn't knocked me on my arse that quickly? If so, I have no hope of surviving my first week back at work! As soon as I awoke I knew it wasn't going to be a productive day! I got up at 6.30am-ish, grabbed Miss A …

My brain has run a marathon

I am knackered.  And I didn't even get up early (AGAIN!).  But that's another story. I've actually had a very productive day but I'm now so weary I can barely keep my eyes open.  Today from 9am until about 4.30pm I was writing policy.  This is me and my happy face: When I left work …

Tonight’s post is bought to you by the letter Zzzzzzz

Sick kids are exhausting! And this mumma does not have a lot of patience when running on 3 hours sleep! On Saturday Miss A showed signs of the sniffles and a little cough which has now escalated to a very chesty, wheezy bout of bronchiolitis.  Unfortunately Miss B has woken up with the same. And …
