Kate&Co - The way I see it

It's a crazy time of year hey. Everyone is busy. We still need to put up the Christmas tree, but it's in the roof, so that is a Brett-job to get it down... you know, any other year I'd do it, but this year. Well I'm not even sure I'd fit through the man hole door thingy at the moment.

Liam's had school swimming this week. Then there's the christmas concert next week, the parent helpers morning tea I'm supposed to be at, the doc appts, the midwife appts, the accupuncture appts, the pilates classes, the photo shoots, the family commitments, the work comming and going, constant editing, gallery uploading, orders comming in, orders going out. I've had to start using my diary the 'proper way'. Usually I just list the things I need to do that day. Now I have to list it under the time slots and fill in how long it will take etc so I can see where I have gaps I can get things done.

Last Saturday night we went to my brothers house and walked into Frankston to the tree lighting festival. It's not a big walk at all, but I was a little worried about how I'd go. I'd been having huge braxton hicks, that take my breath away and actually make me stop what I'm doing. I'd had them quite a bit on Saturday, and by Saturday night they were really constant. I was getting about 1 minute between them, but was pretty sure they were just braxton hicks, nothing more. But later that night they started to go into my back and were starting to get painful. Thankfully after lying down for a while they just went back to painless ones, and after a while slowed down in frequency and intensity. But it made us both realise that I have to slow down. Working up to 50hrs a week, plus running around after the kids and trying to get to all the places/do all the things others want me to do/go is too much. So I've tried to pace myself a bit more this week. Christmas is just comming up so quick and there is still so much work to get through to get photos out by then. But I'm doing my very, very best.

Tomorrow morning our wardrobe doors are comming! Exciting!! I took some before pics this morning as I thought I'd forget or not have time tomorrow morning. Mum's comming over to house sit for me though while they get done as I have to do school/childcare drop off, midwife appt and photo delivery. And then should hopefully be able to squeeze in about 2.5hrs work before leaving again to do the school runs. Oh how nice it would be to be able to morph myself into two people LOL. Everyone is the same at this time of year though. It's a busy time. We are no different. Everyone does the best they can.
