End of the week drop

It’s only when it gets to Friday 16.00 that I am ready to drop. I’m not working, the girls are not in school but the weekend still has it’s power over me and how I view the week. It’s a habit that hasn’t left me yet despite me making so many changes in my daily approach.

We are in the middle of the summer holidays and procrastinating school uniform shopping as late as I can into August. The days are still packed with activities and bedtimes are still late so each day can feel like a 13hour shift. As you know, I can’t lay in; being a morning person does that to you.

If this was a job that I didn’t enjoy, it would be the lead up to burn out. When it comes to family and the enjoyable nature of activities, it isn’t but I do feel the pain each Friday and my feet say no more… until we have to visit the park on Saturday ‘just for 5 minutes mummy…’

A career break is something I never thought I would do. Please join me in my transition journey from being a career-woman mum to a full time mum to my two lovely girls. It is helping me to compare business practice with the way we do things in family life.
