The kids were both in Kindergarden, the washing machine has stopped leaking, the dryer is no longer on strike and I have made my peace with what was bothering me last week. Shall I tell you about it, yeah, why not, writing it down will really get it out of my system.
Well in Germany, when you have kids, the firm you worked for, has to offer you the same sort of job back, after three years unpaid maternity leave. Well, during Robert's 3 years I had Richard, so the three years started counting again from Richard's birthday on. Well, for the past 6 months or more I have been burying my head in the sand, ignoring the fact, that Richard will be 3 next week. I never really enjoyed my job, actually that is an understatement, I hated my job. For over a year I went to work everyday ( I was supposedly a secretary) and sat for 8 hours doing NOTHING work related, my boss did not need a secretary at all, he did everything himself. I was just his answer phone if he wasn't there! Anyhow, with that in mind, the last thing I want to do is go back to that. But my time at home is up. Once the firm get their act together and let me know where and when I start back. I will be working 3 mornings a week.
Last week just thinking about it made me physically ill - I know childish really. Some people would be glad of a job to go back to, and me, I am old-fashioned, I want to stay home and look after the kids and home. Oh well, maybe one day.. And maybe work won't be so bad after all. It will only be 3 mornings a week! (if I keep saying it often enough, it will work its magic!)
So enough about that, today it has rained and snowed and rained some more, so again we were indoors all afternoon. Only today I got the boys some paper to cut up and then they made pictures with the snippets and glue! They really enjoyed themselves and they were cute to watch.
Bye 4 now

Oh I'm sorry to hear you have to go working again, especially as you don't really want to.
I can SO understand you want to stay home to look after the boys!
I'll keep my fingers crossed that 'the same sort of job' isn't exactly the same, and you'll enjoy it more.
