Well I am taking a well earned break in the middle of a hectic day of what is turning out to be a extremley hectic week.

60 Mins I did not watch the show so I can't really comment on its contents, however know what journalism is like I can only imagine that it was very biased and one sided. What I can say however is that each parent has right to choose how they bring up there child and my problem is the need to label everything. I do not choose to subscribe to any one theory I do what is right for my child and myself, and my husband- yes Tori sleeps in her cot till about 3-4am most nights and then comes into bed with us, do I do it because I subscribe to a particular theory- no, I do it because at that time of the morning I am tired, she is tired and unsettled and the best thing for my family is that we get a decent amount of sleep. I am a breastfeedingt mum at the moment, but I am choosing to start weaning my baby shortly- for me waiting for infant led weaning is not possible because of work commitments- however I should not be made to feel guilty about my choice, it is much better that I go back to work and earn some money so we have a house to live in, than keep breast feeding untill Tori choose to wean and be living on the streets. I guess what I am saying is that every body makes a choice how to parent based on there own situation, I am not suggesting that everybody does what is right for my family, nor do I expect anyone else to be able to tell me what is right for mine. All that shows like 60 mins do is cause us to question or parenting, and start looking for a label for how we bring up our children- because we are made to feel the need to justify ourselves and our choices to everyone.

Anyway.......moving right along. I rang the school I was teaching at untill I went on maternity leave to find out about what is happening with jobs next year, only to be told that there is a possibility there will be no positions.......this would be fine if I hadnt been told 6 weeks ago not to start looking for anything else because there would be positions coming up. Now I have missed out on the opportunity to apply for quite a few suitable jobs, and I am having to rush around and organise job applications to send of for jobs that are closing soon. All this needs to be done before I go away friday morning, as if I didnt have enough to do already.

I best go and get on with it, otherwise I will still be washing and packing suitcases, cleanign the house, and addressing selection criteria at midnight on thursday night.
