Its Monday night and Charlotte has finally settled to bed. She went down at 7.45, but has only just gone to sleep. She has been very unsettled for nearly 3 weeks now and to be honest, it is getting to me a bit. I know it was her teeth to start with, but now i really dont know what it is.... She was up at 1.30 this morning crying, and she had a really husky voice so i am thinking she has a sore throat.... I called the dr this morning to try and get her in, but they were booked out which is typical for a MOnday, but she actually seemed fine all day????


Oh well, i started a post on Saturday night but i didnt list it, and i just re-read it, and wont bother now cause it is over with and.... well this is another day.... Yesterday my dearest girlfriends came over to scrap - Sar, Linda, Leigh and Kindra. Had a great day. The kids were fairly well behaved so i think it was producative for all of us. I got a double layout done. Havent taken any pics yet, but will do tomorrow in the day light. Its funny, cause i had these ideas when i got the photos printed, but i ended up with way too many photos (which i think is half my problem), and it ended nothing like the oroginal plan... I will show off some of the layouts i have done previously though... here goes.... They are all of my girl, but thats not such a bad thing.... after all if i ddint take pics of her i probably wouldnt have anything to scrap.....


Oh well. My cricut got a work out, it was quite funny actually cause at one stage we nearly had to take a number to see who was next....


So thinking time for me... I had a chat with my boss on Thursday about my working future. Basically i am relieving someone else who is on Maternity Leave and she is due to come back beginning of November. I wasnt sure how i would go with this job cause it is way more demanding than i have done in the past - just ask sarah, hardly any emails from me in the past 6 motnhs!!! Anyway, cut a long story short.... the girl i am relieving is comiung bacl 30 hours a week, which leaves 1 day for me. My current boss has suggested that i am now too "experienced" to go back to my old job.... but the catch is, she doesnt have anything else for me to do. I mean, she asked me what i had done in the past, and what i wanted to do in the future, and you know, the sad thing is.... i couldnt really answer her.... I hadnt really thought about it. I guess since having charlotte, she has been my priority and everything else for me has gone by the way side. I only really went back to work to keep in "the system" as givernment jobs are hard to come by, and then there was the "big people contact" and the extra $$$ for my addiction (scrapping that is, didnt sound too good did it!!!). I am really at a loss cause i really do not have the foggiest idea.... it sounds a bit silly to me now that i think about it but...... what do you think? I mean there will be plenty of relief work, but that will only be temporary, and i dont really want to get into something to find i enjoy it, for the other person to come back and i have to start all over again. I have actually enjoyed going to work, I have been tired at times, and i really love the weekends so i can spend the time with Charlotte, but if i could do the same work in maybe only 3 days, i would be so happy then... the best of both worlds really.


So there is my dilemna for the day.... Hope it didnt come across as depressing or anwything....
