I am working again! I love it!
I was home before 11am this morning, my fastest drop off yet. Hope Dudey is ok, am sure he will be. He was so hyper when I picked him up yesterday, he didn't want to come home! Am so blessed with my childminder.
I realised yesterday that if I totally rejiggle the chapter I should be able to make it one, and did some work on it last night. DB cooked dins so I had an hour when Bean was in bed to do some work in front of t' tele which was great. made me realise how helpful being able to let go of a chore was - normally I would be cooking dins, and tidying after and work doesn't get a look in until about 10pm, by which time I am knackered and Little Dude would be awaking anyway. I hope for more of the same. THOUGH I would say DB was cooking dinner because I was meant to be out swimming, practising for this triathlon I have lumbered myself with - only I couldn't find the pool! Sat nav was trying to get me to go up one way streets and it was rush hour and I didn't give myself enough time to find where I was going. Stupid me - I was really disappointed actually. Anyway, I did work so yay. Actually, I am taking the sound advice of Jenny, who commented on here the other day and will work *every* night for half an hour. I have decided that until it becomes normal and ok (dude-wise, housework wise etc) for me to work of an eve I shall aim for half an hour, no more, no less. But that half an hour would add 3.5 hours onto my weekly total.
I am going to work until 12.30. Then I shall lunch until 1pm, and then work again until 2.10 when I shall go and pick up the baby. (yay).
I am thinking of upping his hours at the CM's to be from 9.30am in March. Depends how he copes but he really loves it there and I could do with that extra hour. As the work rachets up I shall pop him in for Fridays as well I think, just for a couple of months. That would be quite a big deal so am in no hurry. The extra hour would make a big difference anyway. And I would make us get up at 7am, which means LD (Little Dude) would be in bed by 7/7.30pm of an eve... which would give me time to work! hurrah!
Back to the grindstone then! Don't know why I say that, am very happy to be working!

Ps: both DB and Bean are out... house is eerily quiet and I don't like it! I will have to have lunch on my own! How lonely and rubbish.
Pps: I realised after about an hour this morning that I was wearing a pair of bean's socks. I kid you not! When I put them on I thought they were a little small on the ankle but then thought nothing of it until I flet the rubber non-slip pattern on the bottom, had a look and it said 'baby george' on it*. What. A. Freak.
* I know, I hate hate hate asda with a passion, and all the anti-human rights ar*eholery walmart stands for but I have no other store within walking distance and, UG UG I hate myself but it is cheap and a baby uses so much stuff! I do try and make up for it by crocheting what I can and I never throw food away, or clothes, or anything that can be reused or given to charity shops. and I buy lots from charity shops too. Ug I feel dirty.
