The last Mummy Monday...

Its been a pretty hard going few weeks with highs and lows of momentous magnitude. The crux of the upheaval being my applying for a job, getting an interview, feeling I had failed the interview but living in hope for a week to find out if I had made it to the second round; making it to the second round which happened to be a presentation which took a week of being up until 2am and being VERY stressed; feeling I had done really well and waiting to find if I'd got it and having heard nothing, phoning to find out it had been offered to someone else; then being contacted after a week of telling myself I didn't want it anyway, to say the other appointment hadn't worked out and would I like it afterall?

Bloody hell. A month of my life (and my poor families) completely consumed with it all!

I took it, and am now due to start as the new Event Fundraiser for the Sick Kids. Brilliant, but very scary...

I have to work more hours and my easy life of three days with four day weekends must end. I feel a little panicked, I have really enjoyed the life, work balance this situation has offered me and really don't want to spend less time with the girls.

With all this in mind, I woke up today (my last Monday as a part time mummy, weep) to the most glorious winters day! Absolutely gorgeous with a surreal light that lends itself totally to a bit of photography (if one is so inclined) I took the girls for lunch at the Beach House which I love doing for a special treat. After that we went to the swing park and then to collect sea shells on the seashore. It was a day of big love and not too many tussles and I really loved it...

There will be many other lovely days, I know that, but I also know that come Monday next week, a wee period of our lives will have ended as we enter a new more fast paced phase, all in the name of some kind of progression.
