'Your generation just think you can have it all' a comment I have heard aimed at us 30 something Mummies time and again and yes they are right B and I are certainly going to try.
Children, family, career, house (buying the perfect one and renovating another), travel, study, exercise, great social life and mmm what else can we throw in there. We are women after all and can multi-task; the question is how many things at once, without something crashing (preferably not ourselves) or magically getting more hours in the day?
Though technically we have achieved the second, considering we are getting less sleep with two young children waking at all sorts of hours during the night, we do have more awake time, maybe we should jog up and down while settling the kids or send off a few work e-mails at three in the morning - yeah right! Best laid plans and all that - with the constant brain fog from lack of sleep we are already struggling to do these things during the day. But we will push on and try and prove that good work, life, balance is not a thing of legend for the working Mum - we will get this balancing act right or at least have a lot of fun sharing the struggle and our observations with you all in this blog.
Oh by the way B and I had all intention of exercising, getting the kids out in the pram for some fresh air and brainstorming for this blog to start with a fantastic show of doing it all at once but instead lumped the kids with the hubbies and went into a lovely quite room with the laptop and glass of wine - after all have to fit in me time as well.
