Overwhelmed.... but Cake?!

Juggling work life, home life, school work, social, reading, spellings, housework and piles and piles of washing is hard work. Most days I'm literally a tired, hungry and sweaty mess. The girls are in a strict routine which they are very used to and mine and Matts shifts are rarely the same from one week to the next.

I have crap piles decoratively dotted all round the house. Some call it clutter, some call it mess. I call it organised chaos. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Today I wasn't working, so morning school run turned into an impromptu costa date with friends and then met matt for his break at work. This quickly led to half of my day at home "cleaning and sorting" infact "eating and drinking and quickly spending money into an early grave". Mollie ate her body weight in fruit and full English by lunchtime. Little piggy. Result of having no lunch dishes. Managed to make all the beds, vacuum upstairs and move the same pile of clean washing into another different place in our bedroom for the third day running. I'll do it one day. The cleaning of the bathroom today consisted of mopping the bath mess up with a towel and rubbing down the sink. That counts right?

I don't even bother trying to tidy the livingroom til mollies in bed. Ever tried shovelling a snowy path in a snow storm? You get the point. The kitchen was clean until 10pm came and in my ultimate wisdom I think to myself... hmmmm.... I need cake. Off i Trot into the kitchen and I make from scratch, a big old chocolate cake and some custard. Shortly after it was done I inserted a big slice to my face and now I'm ready for bed. My clean kitchen totally undone and probably an extra lb on my thighs.

Today I didn't do everything I wanted to do in the house. Life and cake got in the way. Better luck tomorrow after work?

Anyone else have these days.... please??!

Where we begin!

How do I even begin!?  I am Sam. A busy Mum of two girls. We have Leigha who is 6yrs old and Mollie who is currently 10mths old. Myself and my fiancé of nearly 6yrs lead a busy life. Matt (my fiancé) works as a kitchen manager and works a lot of hours, leaving me to do most of the children's care by myself. When he's home he's fabulous but generally speaking I've created a routine to suit me and he just blends in and helps when he's here.  A bit of backstory. My girls have different dads. My ex of 5yrs ended our relationship only to find out 6wks later that I'm expecting. Talk about timing. He's still in her life but fast forward til Leigha being 7mths (Feb 2011) old I met the most amazing man who I'm now proud to call my fiancé. We got together (4th march 2011)  and him being the young age of 19 (me being 21), decided to take me and Leigha on as a pre-started family, falling in love with us both. Him and Leigha have been close ever since. So mu...

I'm back 😀

Hi again everyone! So... I haven't posted anything for a while. Reason is I've gone back to work! Exciting and scary times. I've been fortunate enough to get a job with my fiancé. He is the kitchen manager and I'm a waitress/bar staff. While we don't work in the same room for most of the time, it works for us. I adore everyone I work with, along with Matt and myself, my brother and his girlfriend and Matts brother also worth with us. Turning it into a family business slowly! Haha! We work at a carvery based restaurant. It's a lovely family restaurant and it's very popular. I work part-time, a couple of days during the week and usually on a Sunday. I'm lucky enough that my mum has the kids for me. Usually just mollie but both girls on a Sunday and during school holidays. I've been working around a month now and I'm really enjoying it. I will not lie, I'm tired. Mentally and physically. It's very hard being away from Mollie. She's on...

Half term holidays so far...

This week is half term and we have our nephews staying with us for the week. So far we have done: Tuesday:  A 6mile walk and had lunch en route. On the walk we played football in a pitch we found in stony Stratford near the rocket park, we played tag and enjoyed ourselves. When we got home we relaxed and watched movies and had dinner. Wednesday: The boys dad (Matts brother) took the two boys and Leigha to the cinema to watch the lego batman movie and they had a great time. Matt was at work and so me and Mollie had some time at home to play and have sleepy cuddles (Our fave!!). We met Matt for his lunch break at work and we had a bite to eat too. Mollie had mashed potato and veggies. Loved it!! Later that afternoon/ evening we watched zootropolis and finding Dory. Both brilliant films!! Kids then had dinner and had baths and was put to bed. Today: my mother in law (also all the kids Nan) is visiting today. Matt isn't happy to be working but he finishes at 5pm and so he gets a ...
