2 weeks of full time work..
almost back in routine.
I have an exceptionally good childminder and the kids are very happy with her.
Work is challenging. I do have to work long hours. But I get TOIL..which I think is brilliant, cause I want to save my 1 month leave to take the kids to disneyland.
for the first time, I won’t be home when my kids have school break. I miss those days I could just take the kids and our camping gear and go somewhere. I miss long distance drives.
i cook the meals for the week on sunday and freeze them. that eases my work a lot.But keeping the house tidy has been a tough task. I am beginning to not notice the clutter.and the worst is mowing the lawn..the rain hasn’t stopped since Jan and the grass is happily growing..My vege patch is now a weed patch.
Didn’t read much this week.
So all in all..life is good.
So happy to hear that you are happy and managing life so well. 🙂
Don't you think that even though it was irritating, there was some truth in the parrot's song 'The job'?
Hey Sarah what do u cook & freeze for 5 days for your kids ?My son is a fussy eater and am so confused what to cook!
Smitha: Nope, I wasn't ready before. Now the planets are in perfect alignment. I got the job I wanted, hours I wanted,at a place where I wanted and my kids are old enough to be left with someone else and I could work without feeling the guilt of abandoning my children. Now I am ready..I only lost a decade in career wise. but it was worth it.
asha: for snacks I made samosas, spring rolls, scones and muffin. School lunch I made pasta, meat pies, calzone, spaghetti and meat balls, canneloni with spinach and ravioli and for dinner I made, idi appam, naan and butter chicken,brocht and garlic bread,ghulash, cabbage rolls. I also have stock of cooked mince meat that I can use to make roti john, as a patty for bun or make murtabak.
Except rice and curry with boiled potato in it, I freeze everything. Each morning, I take out the dinner for that evening out of the freezer and keep in the fridge and it will be almost defrosted by the time I arrive home from work
Hi Sarah
Would you please put up these recipes – I seem to be making the same things everyday here.
