Talk about a blog fail! I had such good intentions to make a new start in blogland but things changed. I got a job and even though it is only part time (just under 30 hours), I leave home each day at 8am and return around 5pm. By the time I arrive home I'm exhausted, I do quite a bit of running around and lifting at work.
I underestimated how difficult it would be making the transition from stay at home single Mum to working single Mum. Don't get me wrong, I love working. I need the stimulation. I need the adult company. But I didn't think I'd be so tired.
But the pros outweigh the cons so I must soldier on. Actually not must, make that a want. I want to succeed at being the best Mum I can be. To me this includes instilling in Mr5 the value of having good work ethic. He wasn't all that happy about me returning to work, I guess it was fear of the unknown for him. We had a few issues with him not wanting to go to after school care but he has settled well thankfully.
So, does it get easier? I really hope so. I'm missing my sewing machine, I barely have the energy to hem my pants let alone finish off some of my projects. One day.
