Back to the Daily Grind

I realize it's been close to 3 months since I last made a post. :o) I've been so busy since my girls resumed school last August 3. Prior to that, I got caught up in preparing their school stuff and doing the usual chores and errands. And now we're all back to the daily grind. I get up at 4 in the morning to cook breakfast and packed lunches, and I drive my kids to school and pick them up too. My girls now have the same schedule of dismissal, so I've got enough time now to boot up my netbook and write something during the day. Well, only about 3 hours tops of computer time because I don't want to soak my brain too long and tire my eyes out. In between I do chores, reading, journaling, etc. Later today I will drop by the grocery to get meats and a few knick-knacks. Hope your midweek's going well. I'm so happy to be back here in myLot.

When the kids are small, the mother should be a full time mother to themm. That, I wasn't able to do because both me and my hubby had the 8-5 office work. Though, we have a nanny / helper that accompanies her.

@almostoveryou Indeed, helpers are really a great help, even if they are on a weekend basis only.

I used to have a daily housekeeper who also sometimes babysat my kids. Now we only have a housekeeper on certain weekends, usually on Sunday. She's been housekeeping for us for more than 3 years already. She's a big help!

My daily grind was like that when my kids were young. Hope to see you around more.

Thanks, Dianne. I'm glad there's myLot to turn to on days when I don't have a ton of errands to fulfill. It's already Friday here so I'm slowing down a bit. Yay!

I'll have to enjoy some form of diversion else I would go nuts.
