    Default Hi, It's me ........

    Have you missed me?
    I'm nearly at the end of my first month in my new job and I thought I would pop in to say Hi
    It's been a funny 4 weeks, I almost feel I'm on holiday.
    The plus side........
    I have more time with my own children
    I've sold all the CM toys & equipment and have my house back.
    I'm loving my two days off a week plus I've got my evenings and weekends back.
    I get an extra 1/2hr in bed in the mornings.
    It's so much calmer/less stressful before & after school.
    The whole house seems calmer and quieter.
    I'm loving my new job
    The down side........
    The house is so quiet, I have to have the tv/radio on for background noise
    I miss the little ones
    I'm a bit lonely

    But on the whole, I made the right decision, I feel as though a weight has been lifted from me.
    Even though I didn't think I was that stressed, I must of been, as I'm a lot more relaxed now.

    I keep popping on here to see how you are all getting on......I can't break away completely

    So happy for you, nothing better than when a decision you make ends up being the right one for you.

    I am a firm believer that everything I do should benefit me and my family and as soon as it doesn't then it is time to move on.

    Glad to hear you are enjoying your new career - the extra 1/2 hour in bed sounds great - it's really depressing getting up in the dark - I know what you mean about house being quiet, it's my day off today and although I am busy doing housework and paperwork my home does feel very empty. Hope to hear from you again soon

    so glad you are enjoying it honey. Me too! I've done a half a term already - it's flown by. I hear you about the house it's empty and too quiet
    if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got
