Boys and sticks?? What is the deal with that???? Here is Michael trying to whack Greg's motorbike with the stick (which he thinks is great - who needs expnsive toys...)
Hmmm, an up and down week last week really, I was a bit down but I am feeling better now - trying to have a positive attitude!!
With work, I need to make a decision regarding if I want to continue 3 days per week or go back full-time. My boss needs to know for planning purposes, which I fully understand. To be honest I was leaning towards staying at 3 days per week as it is great for the kids, pretty good for me (read - getting housework done LOL) and although not really good financially - we were going ok. I have to say though, it wasn't really working out all that well for the organisation. I had a further meeting with my boss and in a nutshell, I don't really think continuing 3 days per week is going to be an option - sure, it's an option, but not one that I feel comfortable with. Ahhh, so my plans to stay 3 days are out the window..................
This is a bit of a warrior pose - ready for battle!!!
BUT - instead of dwelling on the negative, I want to focus on the positive!! So, I think my boss (who is lovely and I do love her a lot - she is also a very close friend who I have put in a very difficult situation) will support me in working from home 1 day per fortnight (other day a flexi-day off), so I will hopefully do this. My kids will be fine!! I am always much more organised when working FT and THE MONEY IS A LOT BETTER!!!! Since I am the main earner - it is a good thing.
The unvarnished floor - Greg has sanded it tonight
The kitchen is going great - they still need to fix a couple of things but I love it!!! Greg is fixing the floor up at the moment by sanding and then varnishing it. Because we extended the kitchen out, this part was covered by cupboards when the floor was polished.
Michael having fun on his new bed
I bought a toddler bed on Ebay yesterday for $82. New ones are about $180 not incl mattress. I bought the mattress off her for $50 (probably too much but it doesn't matter). So $130 for the whole thing is pretty good. Michael LOVES it. I am possibly going to paint it white and have plans for his bedroom reno, as well as Jemma too.
He was so excited, he virtually ran over to it and jumped on lol!!!!
Not too much else happening. I had a massage with my friend Kristen tonight and I feel soooooo much better. I was starting to feel quite ill from all the tenseness (is that a word??) of the last couple of weeks - HEAVEN!!!
Have a great week..............
