End of month at work...the boss is rapt as its a record month! Its been a huge learning curve for me. Not only starting a new job, but it also being busier than ever before. The boss asked if I would work full time, and I said how about we keep Thursdays flexible enough so that if we are busy I will come in, but I really need to take some time off for things like meetings at the schools and stuff. He was good with that and very pleased that I am prepared to be there if I am needed like yesterday. I was supposed to be there for about 2 hours...it ended up being 6 1/2 as he wanted an extra report worked on. He was also really pleased that I think of the good of the whole and that he feels its the first time he has a team that work together to make sure the work gets done within deadlines. The girl who sits next to me is incredibly busy but I do what I can to help her along the way as she does for me when I am run off my feet. Its the first time he has had people that work together to make it all go smoothly. He has already offered a permanent role in the company.
Settlement day for the Supermarket is on Monday...yippee, just about finished my juggling act. I have to go in on Sunday to finalise pays for the staff etc and pack up the filing ready to go. Its been a tough couple of weeks juggling and its also been tough on the familyh. Its good to know that the light is at the end of the tunnel.
I have a nanny coming on Saturday to meet the me. I hope she is great. I think eventually I will employ two for two days each. Mainly because then if one is sick, the other can take her hours. It will give me more peace of mind to have that backup.
Steve went to empty my old car yesterday and to sign it over to the insurance company. He then went and bought me a new car. He really is a star!! He had planned two days off for a rest, but no rest for the wicked. He and his dad are going to pick up the car today. Then he is going away with Jack to an angling club camp at Port fairy. Jack was so excited about not having to go to school today- lol, he really doesnt like school much. I think its great for Jack to spend time on his own with his dad. I think boys need to spend time with men to learn how to be good men. At an angling club camp, they burp, fart and swear, but they truly show great commeradery between friends and a great spirit. They are also great with any kid that comes too.
Saturday night, we have respite care. Im really looking forward to going out for a bit of a dance a few drinkies and spending time with my guy. Its been a tough few weeks for both of us, and the strain of it is beginning to show. We really need to spend this time together before the cracks become rifts. I think its great that we both are very conscious of the relationship side of life and that great relationships don't just happen but need time and effort put in by both sides. This last two weeks of craziness has been tough for us all, but particularly on our relationship. Its nearly over babe....we can get through this. I am aware of the cost of my decisions that we have paid. Nearly through it all.
I am going to love having my new car. For a start I think it will save about $60-80 running costs per week. I'm sure I will just love the car Steve has done so well to buy under such a tight timeline. Now just to come up with a name for her...
OMG, life is just so crazy busy. I am looking forward to slowing down the bus a bit!
