So I’ve spent the afternoon updating my website So I’ve spent the afternoon updating my website and realising just how much I miss writing long form content. I’m so thankful for you all being here and being on our journey. The next few months are going to bring a lot of change, not only with the house, but with Sam and his school move and also in terms of my personal situation work wise. Reading back some previous posts, it was exactly 3 years ago that Sam and I were in a very similar situation. He was moving up to senior school in the Sept, we were full of hope that he’d thrive and then there could be the option for me to work full time. I found a job I loved and Sam settled at school. Fast forward to the Christmas and he was really struggling to access school. As the three years have passed we fought so hard and he’s tried so hard, but we still haven’t found a setting that works for him. This has meant that the job I gained and loved so much has broken down through no-one’s fault but circumstance of having to support a child with needs. Anyway, I’m going to throw myself back into writing, it’s always been my therapy. If anyone knows of any fully remote/flexible positions within digital marketing/website content creation then do think of me. Here’s to the next chapter…
Who’s with me?! Managed to pull myself out of Who’s with me?! Managed to pull myself out of my slump, although I’m still struggling with motivation to be creative. But hoping that as we get back to a bit of routine next week then that might come back. Next job on the list is to get S’s new school confirmed and some start/transition dates sorted 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m hoping it’s partly coming off a lovely ban I’m hoping it’s partly coming off a lovely bank holiday weekend but I’m really struggling to feel motivated and creative right now. It doesn’t help that I’m trying to function in a space that is: Literally incomplete Visually noisy and unpredictable Constantly reminds me of unfinished tasks At the same time, there’s a quieter layer of uncertainty running in the background (Sam’s school, my work)— that doesn’t feel fully secure or settled yet. That combination creates a very specific kind of stuck feeling: Like I can’t fully relax, but also can’t fully move forward. Have you ever felt the same, how did you help yourself get out of the slump??
FINALLY FINISHED! 1 room finally completed… Al FINALLY FINISHED! 1 room finally completed… Although to be fair all everyone has done is moan. I mean what’s all this rubbish about practicality, about having a bath mat that catches the water, about having a shower with a door so water doesn’t escape, about not having a window you can see through… What happened to aesthetics first… Practicalities shmalities!
OUT OF THE OFFICE! Happy Easter weekend all… Al OUT OF THE OFFICE! Happy Easter weekend all… Also, pretty sure this is every teachers dream out of office message?! 🤔🤭
The family bathroom is so very close! Few little p The family bathroom is so very close! Few little plumbing bits to be finished off, door to put on (pretty important!) and then all the finishing touches (the best bit!) and I’ve finally come up with a permanent solution for the window. All will be revealed end of week 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It’s been one out, one in today with the middle boy being dropped at the station (back to barracks) at 6ish and the eldest boy being picked up at the station (back from Uni) at 10ish. A quick turnaround of bedding change required, made harder by everything still beings in bags/boxes. A quick hoover everywhere and I’m now officially knackered! How is it only Tuesday!
