How do I get through the day
I really cannot explain but somehow I do
What’s my typical day like then…
Now I’m back at work finding
A work life balance takes much much much I must confess
Wake take a shower dress up
Make baby’s milk...
Wake baby up get him dressed feed him his milk
Run downstairs make a quick drink for breakfast
Get our jackets on
Quick drop at the child minder……dash down to the station
Catch the 7:35 train and off to work…



At work got to work my butt off as I have to leave bang on 5 to pick baby up on time...
Meetings, meetings and more meetings
Emails docs ……planning…..oh my God its 4:30
There is still so much to do…
I feel the temptation to stay behind and finish my work …
Don’t want to be seen as being less conscientious since I’ve had baby…
There is that nagging feeling I need to prove myself more now…
You know what I can’t risk it I’ve got to get on the 5:30 train at the latest…
I just have to leave it all and finish up tomorrow…
5.05 brisk walk to the station hop on the train…….
Dash down to make child minder for 6:30…
Baby happy…..baby looks content… strap him in the car seat
Short drive home…….
Bang something in the oven for dinner rush upstairs get his bath water ready
Give him a bath interact snuggle him up for bed…
Back downstairs ... make a bottle of milk then its back up to feed and  put baby to bed...
8:00pm baby falls asleep wow I’m zonked ….. totally zonked…
Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that’s over for the day but ahh!!!!!! no the front door opens and in comes hubby oh no my work for the day is not yet over
Dash back down check on dinner, serve it and finally I can sit down and actually
try to unwind……….aah is that a baby I hear crying I freeze temporarily too tired to move
aah!!! I want to let out a loud scream
heeellllpppppppppppppppppppppppp…………… Relax the baby crying is on TV
Thank God. I can’t handle any more today…
Tomorrow is another day Lord give me strength…………I say a little prayer in my mind
