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 …

The little things
Half the weekend is over. Already! Today was another busy day combining work with the downtime. And so this we took a little time to chill out this afternoon to spend some time together as a family, even if it was just doing some mundane chores. Are you taking time to enjoy the little things this weekend? How …
Rainy daze
So earlier today I thought I'd get myself a bit organised and had planned to write about my lazy rainy day. I had even come up with the Rainy Daze title anticipating snoozy afternoons and lazy time on the couch - an afternoon spent in a daze of slothfulness if you will. We started out with a …
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 …
The dreaded call
It's now been four weeks week since I returned to work from maternity leave and the thing that I've been dreading most has finally happened. I knew it would, after all it's inevitable with small children, but I'd been hoping and wishing that it wouldn't. And today it did. Yep, I'm talking about the dreaded call from the childcare …
Burning the candles at both ends
Friday is my day off. I work a full time week over four days so that I can enjoy my Fridays off with the girls, being present in the moment and keeping in touch with my mummy-life. But not today. Today I have been working like a mad thing in between playdates and helping a …
It’s started already
I was hoping that I wouldn't arrive at this position this soon, but alas here I am about to put in a couple of hours of work this evening. I had made a promise to myself before I went back to work (having worked 18 hour days prior to the start of my last maternity leave), that …
Over the overwhelm

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 …
