For those of you wondering there's only

56 Days Left

or, to put it another way
8 weeks Left

or, for the mathematicians out there
24x56 = 1344ish hrs Left




Not that I'm clock watching, of course!

BW,

I was hoping that we could at least be busy with back to school for a couple of weeks before resuming the countdown.

But if it helps I am counting down too, I remember last year's game of chase the postman.

Oldest two went back today, youngest starts full time tomorrow. So, as of tomorrow can't think of what else could possibly be on my mind; unfortunately!

Congratulations. Number three with two older brothers will find it like a walk in the park.

Once all kids are at school you need to take action it is "Get a job or get a dog time"

First day is special, enjoy it.

Good luck to both of you, watching or not watching the clock!

Thanks Steve

But you're right, I need to get one job.

I've served my time as the domestic engineer, the chef, the cleaner, the chauffer, the nurse, the tailor, the teacher, the pastry chef, the personal shopper, the seamstress, the gardener, the painter...etc etc

Latest venture......The Clock!!!

Thanks Ma'am

Will try to do the watching surreptitiously

even though it feels like...



and not 55 days Left

Dear Bewildered,

I am in total agreement, this is an eternity of waiting.

Yes I too remember what it was like in the days when I had just ONE JOB,
I could go on and on and on about motherhood and the nurturing caring role post I am trying to fulfil but I'm sure you all know of that- but hey its a good life I'm not complaining! (Honest)

Don't you just love it when they ask what you've done all day.

I agree I'm not complaining either, I've enjoyed being able to spend the early years with my lot, and watching them each achieve their milestones.

Unfortunately, I'm not very good at waiting... even though my 5yr old knows the expression 'patience is a virtue', by heart now

C'est La vie..... 54 Days Left!

trouble is you still have to do all the other jobs as well as THE JOB
