I must say, I am LOVING being able to drop the kids to school and do reading in Ethan's reception class. I finally feel like a real mama. I have been wanting this for sooooooo long.
I have also been enjoying things like:
* Coffee with friends
* Window Shopping with the bestie!!! (But only on her friday off)
*Trashie day time TV
*Baking
* Washing clothes and not wasting what time I have with my kids doing housework!!
* Lunch with my Godfather!!!
*Taking my Baba out during the week to help her with the bits of pieces she needs to do and to just get her out of the house.
*I went to assembly at Tate and Ethan's school for the second time EVER!
*Did the food shopping on a Thursday during the day!
*Picking the kids up from school and having all the afternoon routine finished by 4.30pm and taking them to thier sports trainings
I am still looking for a job as we need the money at the moment.
Tonight I am off to dinner for the farewell of the 2 other girls that got made redundant as well. Then tomorrow I am going to assembly at Damon's school and cleaning the house! Jonesy is sceptical but will be very excited when he comes home to a sparkling house tomorrow.
I am looking forward to more of this but also findng some work to fill in the rest of my time or talking Jonesy into another baby.
I remember a similar excitement when I was made redundant, although my kids were older and only two of them were still at home. I spent the first week cleaning everything I hadn't got around to while working, then a few weeks catching up on reading and videos. After that I spent three years looking for a job while my redundancy cheque slowly melted away in living costs. Now that I'm employed, I once again wish I wasn't.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you! A blessing in disguise! How special for you to go to reading activities at school.
ReplyDeleteI love at the end how you have put 'Jonesy is skeptical' lol, reminds me of my partner hehe.
Good luck with the job hunting!
I recently got made redundant too after 18 years in my job. I was really happy about it and am loving being able to do thinks like all the ones you listed. I still want to work though or go to uni maybe but for now...bliss! Enjoy! Cheers, Mez from Back in G Town
ReplyDeleteWow! What a change for you. Enjoy your time. I'm sure something else will come along all too quickly!
