Hi Jodestar!!! WELCOME TO QUEENSLAND!!

I hope the transition was good for you and Excellent that you are meeting new people... that helps so much!!

Work......... well...................... its work.....
I had built myself up for it to be really really hard... so I have handled it quiet well but in saying that have come to realise that there are many sacrifices to be made with working full time.... and all in all..... they are not worth it!
If I was to keep going to way I am going my family would suffer.... and I don’t think that’s fair on any one of us!!.... Specially Jacob and myself.... DH and I are both missing out on alot... but after spending 6 months with Jacob and now he is at day-care more than with us... he is already become hard to handle as the day care mum spoils him... so when he is home with us he just will NOT let us leave him alone to play..... and in saying that.. before I went to work he would be happy as Larry to play on his own for about an hour, I could get stuff done and I would go back to him and play for 5 minutes and check him then finish off what I was doing for some serious play time but not any more..... flat out will only give me 5 minutes... if that...... I know babies change and get more demanding as they get older but for such a rapid swing is obvious to me a product of not being left alone at day care....
Even harder is that I have asked my day care mum to curb a few things and she wont.... she is much older than me and treats me a bit like my mother in law does.... Just that she knows best and I am just a first time mum that has no idea..... My mum is in Adelaide... so I MISS her SOOOOOOOOO much it brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it.....

So there you are he he he ........... We have decided that I am going to start looking for a part time job near home... I am currently travelling 2 hours a day (1 hour there 1 hour home) to get to the city... and the car time as well.... SO i think by the time Jacobs 1st bday comes around I will have stopped working full time I am sooooo happy with that decision now... it will give me that something extra to work towards while I am full time.
and 1st BDAY!!!! O M G... where has the time gone!!! he he....... SO precious this time with have when they are young..

Well sorry for my ramble Jodes..... I really really needed that but!! THANKS!!

Let me know if there is a meet on a Saturday sometimes... I would love to come.... get me back in the click before I am a part timer
