The worldwide web is my saviour!

All carers are very busy people and busy people need to maximise the hours in the day! I could not do all I need to do without access to the internet. I have said before I work full time, I run a home and have my own family as well as being a carer. Without the internet I would simply waste so much time looking for things or trying to find things out.

A never ending to do list is everyone's cross to bear .... But why does the list never get shorter? Had a very busy time at work over the past 2 weeks including a weekend sales conference in Barcelona.... Sounds great, it was fun and the whole team and I feel motivated .... But what a mammoth task before and after to organise everything and everyone one at home!!

Caring and having kids are so alike and so different. Remembering what kit bags are needed on which days and remembering the days I need to make sandwiches for day centre and which days you need to leave money for outings, when you need help with school runs and which dates you need to book respite, (if they are available) all makes planning your own life so much more complicated.

Ever had a night with no sleep and then having to get out of a warm cosy bed for work in the morning …. Not to mention the bit in between getting out of bed and turning up for work - the chaotic rush of getting people out of bed, making breakfast & lunches as well as trying to comfort a sick baby who’s also had hardly any sleep while running about the house trying to find that hairbrush that seems to grow legs overnight and go missing every single morning without fail!

Do you judge ...?

09th November 2010

Going to the bakery is normally a normal event for someone, you go in get buns/cake whatever and walk out … I came out of the bakery today with a big question on my mind “ why do people judge each other?” Let’s face it, we all judge people *if you say you’ve never judged anyone your lying* but we don’t like it when our family, friends or ourselves are judged by others ….
