I have had a crap old day, actually it has been two crap days. It all started yesterday when I went to sit down (finally) to do some work. I recently bought a desktop computer so I can store more of my files onto it and not have to rely on my out dated laptop that I am currently typing on (sorry laptop, I love you, please don’t self destruct!). As it turns out, on this perfect, kid-free work day, as I snap chat me sitting in front of my shiny brand new desktop computer, with the words #werk and #catchinguponemails on a pretty snap of my desk, I go to turn the computer on and… nothing….. my shiny new toy absolutely died in the ass on me and essentially needed replacing.

I spent hours in Apple trying to work out ways to salvage my photos that I put on that bloody desktop for ‘safe keeping’ and you know, as I am a mum, I had to get back in time for kinder pick up, dinner, bath bed etc etc. Today was much the same, spent hours in Apple and back in time for kid duty and home duty. It is so lucky that I am able to get this all done, I mean, if I was working for someone else, the computer situation would have to wait until the weekend, I couldn’t just rush off to Chadstone and blow two hours in there and what if I had commitments on that weekend? It would have to wait until, when? Thursday late night shopping?

It made me think about my current life and work situation, what is it that I do? What is my job title? Am I a working mum? A stay at home mum with a side job? A stay at home mum with a hobby? A part time self employed mum? I can’t figure it out. Is the mum side classified as a job? It is currently 8:32pm and I am still working, I started this morning at 6:30am (when the first child woke) and I doubt I will be clocking off from this computer until 10pm, meanwhile squeezing in Instagram posting time and then if a child wakes (Will is currently continuously coughing and I am losing concentration whilst I type) I need to tend to them. This isn’t a complaint, it is a realisation, am I a working mum or is this just life?

If I took away the blog (which isnt going to happen- no matter how many new bloggers come along) I would be a full time mother/home carer. If I took away the kids, no, let me re-phrase that, before I had kids, I was a full time blogger. I havent given either jobs…So… now, the math, full time mother + full time blogger = one mother fucking super woman. It all makes sense now!
Now excuse me whilst I collapse into a heap and recharge for another day. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
