Life at the moment
Life seems to be busier than ever, I thought this year would slow down in pace a little.
With my Honey girl in grade 1 and my little treasure boy in Kindy, 5 days a fortnight I thought I may have a lot of time on my hands.
At the end of last year I was expecting our third precious bundle of joy in June. I thought I may have a little extra time on my hands leading up to June and then another type of busy being a mum again to a new little baby.
In January that all changed and life has taken me on another journey.
With the loss of our little baby (buttons) I have decided to change a few things in my life.
I am volunteering my time at my son's Kindy more. Yesterday I planted the vegetables and flowers with 22, 4 yr. old children with another beautiful mum, Melissa. It was delightful and the children have their own vegetable patch now.
I decided to quit my part time job. It was a big decision but it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It is a lovely place to work but it was a job not a job I was passionate about.
Being away from my family doing this job made me sad or guilty sometimes.
I am now looking at getting back to working with children part time.
Volunteering my time at school and Kindy has drawn me back to what I love doing and that is teaching little children to be creative, kind and know that they are important. To nurture their love of life and learning.
I started teaching young children many years ago. I stopped because we travelled and then I started having children and running our business.
I have had to put a resume together which was fun in a way to jot down my life and hoping that something I have put in there grabs someone's attention.
I only want part time or relief work maybe as a teacher aide while my children are still young. Time will tell if this is the right thing to do but I feel like trying it, it feels right, I want to do a job that I love and still gives me time with my kids.
I am looking at some photography courses so I can have some knowledge of what I am doing. I do love taking photos but I just point and press buttons, zoom in and out and most of my photos are taken with my iPhone.
I am in the process of deciding what course is best to do.
I am always busy managing our building business, filing, bookwork, dealing with suppliers, contractors, clients, advertising and making sure money is flowing. I do enjoy this. I find myself making lists of what to do, how to improve our business, cash flows etc.. every day.
Craig laughs at my notes and lists, but it keeps me sane and everything is mapped out, scribbled or jotted down.
Life is busy.
I find I am in and out of the car more with pick ups, drop offs, after school activities, food trips to get more supplies for dinner or lunches, running errands for our business and the list goes on.........
I am sure many people can relate to this.
It is nice to be busy, active and doing something but my love and most favourite time spent in the world is being a mum to the two most delicious children Bridie Boo and Bally boy.
Opening their eyes to this big wide world, creating new experiences for them and just being their mum, the warmth, safe, secure feeling I can give them.
I was reading a blog the other day and it was a mother raising her 3 children. Each day she had made a little rule to help her routine flow.
One that stuck in my head was Thursday was Pizza night, which I think we all need a take away night.
One night she also prepared her kids sandwiches for school the next day so that she had a day off packing lunches.
I have started making sure there is variety in my routine but consistency.
My children love creating and doing art, if they are not doing that they are playing under the house or on top of the car, in the tree house or somewhere in our family home together. I do love this and often over hear there conversations as I prepare dinner or write on my blog, put washing away, clean, book work or whatever this family or home is in need of. Sometimes I just hang out with them.
I want my little treasures to continue to play and be creative but do different things as well.
I have written a list on my big notice board that sits in front me and a list of things I want us to try.
I have no specific day it needs to be done sometimes I find we do most of them on the weekend or it takes weeks or months to do something but it is nice to hope to do different things and when you do something new or brave, different or challenging, familiar or wonderful you get a feeling of I tried, or that was nice, that was hard, that was a disaster, that was special..........
Today my goal is to go for an evening walk, just as it is getting dark. If it rains the umbrella's will be our companion. We often go for walks in the afternoon but tonight however I have bought some glow sticks and will give a bundle to Bride and Balun to do what they like as we go for our walk.
