Wow, I can’t believe how time has flown and how I haven’t written anything on here for soooooooooo long. So for a quick update – my self-chosen unemployment did not last long!! About six weeks after I left my job I started working as a Youth Worker for a Christian organisation. I work with homeless teens aged between 15 and 20 years old. Not only is this position permanent but it is full-time too. So for the first time since Mitch was born in 2001 I am working full-time. Thankfully, this job is shift work so the boys only go into care for a couple of mornings a week and one or two afternoons a week so it is fun for them. It also means that I have days off during the week where I can still help at school and go to their sports carnivals.
I have found working full-time, helping organise Jason’s business, effectively raising two boys and maintaining a household exceptionally exhausting. So something had to give, and give I did!! I gave all the business paperwork to the account!! And I gave all the housework to Jason (since he doesn’t want to pay for a cleaner)!! I figured that when Jason discovered how monotonous and repetitive housework is he would soon agree to a cleaner at a cheap $50 a week.
So now life has calmed down, summer is on the way and I’ve had a three week camping holiday (organised with work at interview stage) I feel refreshed and energised and really living and loving life at its fullest.
