I was made redundant just before Christmas. It was an unbelievably stressful time but I’ve managed by some miracle to interview for and get a new job that will start next year. Each interview required a strategy presentation pulling together, so not an easy thing to do.
I have gone straight from that into non stop kids for the holidays. They are 5 and 7. My husband has been working pretty much non stop, but also because I’ve been taking the kids out to give him space to work he has also had plenty of relaxed time at home, and time to exercise and play golf. We don’t have any local help from family. The 5 year old is super clingy. The kids out of routine have not been easy.
We have a day of plans tomorrow and I’m on my absolute last shred of sanity. I can feel myself on the edge of just locking myself in a room by myself. But what I need is a decent long run. A coffee by myself in a quiet house while I watch Gavin and Stacey.
Can anyone else relate?
