Hi All
Haven't been on line much lately as I started minding for the first time on Monday and have been in bed at 8pm ever since....toatally exhausted!!
Not the mindees faults at all!!! but mainly due to the weight of my old job being lifted from my shoulders....first time iv'e relaxed in years.:jump for joy:
I have had a fantastic first week, Monday was hard, but only cos iv'e got two babies (8 months and 10 months) plus my own daughter who didn't go to playgroup that day....but the days that followed have been great, have got into a fairly decent routine, the two babies sleep at almost the same time, so i do get a bit of time out......well time to do paperwork and such like!! and i'm loving it!:clapping:
Double pushchair is killing me at the moment, but will soon be as fit as a fiddle and don't mind the fact that the jaunt to playgroup every day is like a daily session in the gym!! (I live half an hours walk from the playgroup, up two hills!!):eek:
Got another mindee starting on the 3 April and cannot believe how succesful this career change has been.....i'm actually quite proud of myself for a change!!! (sorry ,blowing my own trumpet, but i've worked dead hard and this is the first time things have gone my way in a while!!! violins please!!!!)
Thanks for allowing me to share a snippet of my first week and to blow my own trumpet!!!:D
