Hope that you get through today and remember that your "babe" will be having a great time today and will be looking foward to coming home to a "normal" (ie not crying!!) Mummy for cuddles and cakes this afternoon. I tried to start making a dressing gown for my middle child today whilst she is at nursery but only got as far as finding my fabric - i know the pattern is in a box somewhere, but goodness only knows where!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364752654828813449.post-32095307494280621232007-09-23T13:04:00.000-07:002007-09-23T13:04:00.000-07:00I just this morning bought a pan in the very same ...I just this morning bought a pan in the very same design as those pyrex dishes!<BR/><BR/>I have one more year until Kit starts school and already the questions are coming. It's as if I'll drop her off at the school gates and rush off to me high powered job - not likely! I've never felt the need to explain why I stay at home to look after my children, it's just right for me, and I want to pick them up every night and be with them in the hols for as long as I can. Also I feel like we deserve at bit of time at home alone once they go to school as a reward for all that hard work!!<BR/><BR/>Julia xjuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00821427565897275123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364752654828813449.post-2091660730699158142007-09-22T01:16:00.000-07:002007-09-22T01:16:00.000-07:00Just reread your post and spotted the NCT mention ...Just reread your post and spotted the NCT mention - they were a real godsend to me starting when I moved to a new town with a brand new 3 week old first baby and knowing no-one the other mums became my lifeline - Hurrah for NCT!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364752654828813449.post-78632065349264512642007-09-21T22:52:00.000-07:002007-09-21T22:52:00.000-07:00That sounds like a good idea to sort out the craft...That sounds like a good idea to sort out the crafting/sewing room. I have a room, but it always ends up as the laudry and ironing dumping ground! Make it your space.

I'm trying to keep busy and do little jobs everyday and crafting too of course. The house is so quiet, I think it's a matter of finding a new pattern for my days and not pushing it or forcing it. I'm enjoying the freedom for the first time in a long time and met a friend for lunch today and felt very decadent!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364752654828813449.post-82673246749379217152007-09-21T09:22:00.000-07:002007-09-21T09:22:00.000-07:00Gosh, I can so relate to the questions about 'what...Gosh, I can so relate to the questions about 'what you're going to do with your time'...my little boy is at nursery 3 shortish mornings a week and even that amount of time I feel pressured to justify why I'm not doing something particular(other than crafting which doesn't seem to compute as 'doing something' to most other people). <BR/><BR/>I have a year left with him before he goes to school, and like you, I'm finding just the idea of it really hard - I like having him around and I don't feel ready to be a mum without a stay-at-home child in the near future...but focusing on turning the playroom into a sewing room sounds like a really exciting project (I'm very envious - I think it will be some years before I have a dedicated sewing room!). <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment on my blog this morning - it's always lovely to have a comment from someone new and to be able to follow a link to come and discover a new blog that I haven't seen before - full of interesting and lovely things :)<BR/><BR/>Hope you have fun in your new room. xFlorence Knapp (Flossie Teacakes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09024138702384185444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364752654828813449.post-87023861114810817252007-09-21T08:56:00.000-07:002007-09-21T08:56:00.000-07:00Good luck with next week - it does get better and ...Good luck with next week - it does get better and I do quite like having my own time again - and it isn't all that long until 3.15!

It may be hard at first, but you finally get a chance to reclaim a bit of adulthood! And having more time to craft and knit and sew can't be all bad, either! Plus, think what a joy it will be when you pick the boys up from school and they have big smiles and are so happy to see you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364752654828813449.post-48846108525697526022007-09-21T06:13:00.000-07:002007-09-21T06:13:00.000-07:00My mum had those self same pyrex dishes with that ...My mum had those self same pyrex dishes with that blue flower pattern - I wonder whatever happened to them - as for time on your own relish the thought of going to the loo on your own without accompaniment or assistanceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.com
