Getting Ready to Return to the Workforce!!!

Ohhh Myyy Goooooodnesss!!! How exciting, the time is nearly here and I will be going back to work VERY soon! I have sat on the phone with Centerlink, for way too long, but the outcome was much better than I thought! A weekly rebate now! Makes such a difference, I can actually afford to return to work this time!!! Hoooray! I was even able to get the extra hours on my CCB, oh, the relief. Now I am preparing Felicity to go back to daycare. I have moved her from a center and going back to the family daycare approach, something about the family daycare system really sits well, I feel so much more relaxed about it. Im not worried at all about how she is going to take it, she has known Zac pretty much since we moved here now, they get along well, particularly when she is playing with his toys (hehe) and she knows both Shannon and Heidi quite well. They are one of the first families we met here, Shannon is Dans head chef at work. Maybe its the familiarities that have me at ease with this scenario. All I know is that this time everything feels right, I am comfortable with everything and EXCITED that I am going to do something with my life again :)!
I am slightly worried that my house may fall to shambles with me not being here most of the time, I guess thats something that we can all finally work on together. Having a bigger house has made life much easier though, I was worried it would take forever to clean, but somehow its actually easier ... Maybe because there is lots if hiding cupboards hehehehe. I will have to be very strict with myself I think, I worked out a long time ago, it takes half an hour a day and its clean, miss a day and it takes 2 hours the next day!!! Not a huge problem at the moment, but next month 2 hours will be hard work!!! MUST KEEP ONTOP ... PLEASE!!!

I am certainly going to miss one on one time with my littlest monster ... I think we have both really enjoyed our one on one time together, I have learnt so much about her little personality that I had missed before we got this time together. She helps out so much when no one is here, as long as her little sidekick isnt here, she puts her toys away, cleans her room and unstacks the dishwasher ... She is my little shadow. Tay was never much of a shadow, she LOVED tv too much, FLicks not much of a tv person, she is so much happier being with me, no matter what Im doing. As soon as daddy and Taylah are home though, shes into mischief, I guess thats pretty typical for a 3 year old though. It will be good for Dan to see this side to her too I guess, it wont be long though and Taylah will be on school holidays, I think his plan is to go out everyday that I am at work and he has the kids haha. They will love it no matter what they do though, this last year hes had to work so hard toget the pub running well, I guess its nice that its paid off and he is able to spend his own quality time with them!
