Fox is growing so fast. A new for me is just how quickly a baby grows out of things.. Fox is bigger than Memphis for the same age. I would have thought being formula fed Memphis would have been the bigger boy. Just goes to show, they're all so different and breast or bottle doesnt matter much in the big scheme of things.
I have officially returned to paid work. Just one day a week at hubbys work in fact. Doing accounts, Invoices etc.. Nothing fabulous, but enough to get the brain fired up again, me out of the house and Fox learning now there are more people in this world aside from his family of 4.It wasnt as hard as I thought leaving him at daycare.I had a trial run last week. I had to, the mere thought of leaving him with anyone else had me bawling. He was fine, and after a checkin at lunchtime I was too.
I am still amazed just how busy Life is now.. Before kids, we were busy, but not like this.. We would find things to do, especially once we bought our house, every weeknight and evening was filled with gardening or renovating or upkeep.. But always time to do nothing,. I miss that. Now theres barely even time to stop and remember what nothing felt like.
I am finding it harder and harder to leave the house. I wont even attempt most things with 2 kids. I am realistic as to what they can handle and what I can or cant cope with. So I have a new understanding and appreciation for stay at home mums, and why pleasure shopping isnt always high on the priority or able to do list.. This does make me feel more confident however that online and pop up shops are a great way for me to go.. Id love to be able to commit to lots of popups everywhere, but again, as I am doing this business to accomodate family life I need to be particular when I agree to showings. Weekends are best, I can do friday mornings (if the host doesnt mind me bringing along Fox) and with plenty of notice I can do evenings too (once hubby gets home to have the kids)
There still isnt a real routine here at home. I mean we eat meals at similar time each day. Memphis has a nap in the afternoon, fox is on all day (catnapping only 3 times a day for 20-40 mins) housework, crafts and online stuff done inbetween. It's hectic and crazy and I love it. I have yet to get bored. I dont know how any parent can..Just need to find some more time to devote to the 2 dogs, 2 cats 1 bird and fish and everyone will be happy.
I have so many idea's and plans (for the business) but it has to go on the backburner till I have the time and energy to give it 100%.
Best go now, need to switch off the brain before I head to bed. Catchya!
