Look who has started pre-school! The first day she cried. Well, we both cried! The next day she went off happily blowing kisses and chatting to all her new friends. The minute the uniform went on I felt a lump in my throat. Where did my baby go? Its all going too fast now. Being a working mum its hard not to feel like your missing the good stuff. I wish there was more time to enjoy them at this stage. I wish I could keep her with me and always know she is safe and protected. But I also wish her to have friends and fun and independence. And to not be afraid when I’m not there.
I wish a whole lot of things for her.
Claire: Awww, it goes too quickly doesn't it! She looks very sweet in her uniform. And having experience of both, I think that working is good for mums and good for kids - they need that independence, I think Alfie was more content when he wasn't with me 24/7 lol :) And I know I was a much more 'fun' mum when I had defined time for work and time for him, instead of half doing everything all at once. That smile on Niamh's face says it all :) (08/16/10, 4:01 pm)
admin: Thanks Claire. She is absolutely loving school so no worries there. I think the hardest part of working from home and looking after kids is the whole thing seems to merge into one. Its hard to organise your time. Now that they are both going to be in school from September on, I'll be able to better define the hours I am supposed to be working and the time with the kids. I don't think I'll be doing anything quite as creative in the kitchen as you though on my off time! (08/17/10, 9:24 am)
