Blog withdrawal and croup shall set you free.
Yesterday my blog site was down and I couldn’t log on. I had all these witty things I wanted to say and lots of funny moments to help lighten the mood of the previous two posts but it was down. Now, due to a severe case of Mummy Brain, I have forgotten, so there will be none of these. Humble apologies.
Yesterday Ivy and Noah still had croup and I had to call in sick for work. When my nursing unit manager called me to find out what the problem was I resigned. For all the world I felt that I could not possibly work and look after sick babies for the Winter and be any good to either parties so I made the choice to leave.
It all feels a bit unreal today. I have been employed as a nurse and a midwife for ten years. I worked throughout the girls’ toddler years (and Lily’s baby years). With Ivy and Noah though, I am beaten. I just can’t do it anymore. So, I am going to be a SAHM (stay at home mum) for a while. It could be good and it could be just what I need right now. So while croup has kept me up for the last two nights and I have cursed it to the ends of the earth, in some strange way it has set me free from the pressure of juggling work and home.
Hip, hip, hooray! Smart move
