The First Step

Today we got our letter from Kindy that Little Bear will start going full time from the week after easter.

That makes me one step closer to having to work full time.

The next step is to agree to a starting date & full time hours with my work.

The final step will be on 1 May (subject to change but that is unlikely) when I work my first Friday in almost 2 years.

(Of course any mother reading this will realise I am referring to paid work because the hardest work of all is the work we do for free at home).

Interestingly, my first full time week will also be my first time I am away from Little Bear overnight, as I will be travelling to Brisbane for 2 nights with work. I know her Father is very capable of looking after her & Cheetah alone, however I will miss them all very very much. I cannot deny though that I am also looking forward to not having to prepare dinner, or do dishes, or nag children to do their homework & get ready for bed on time. Whatever will I do with myself ?
