Monday 28th October, 2013.

My Monday's start off the same every week. Up at 6 am, do a 30 minutes workout while the children are asleep, then the day begins. It's nice to have some quiet time while they are asleep. The kids start their day with whinging and fighting. I am sure any mother who has a 6 yr old and 5 yr old, who are head strong, will say the same. Breakfast is finished, get dressed, brush teeth, make beds and make sure bags are packed for the day. They are then allowed to watch two Peppa Pigs and whatever the show is after that on ABC 2. This gives Mama time to get ready for her day, make-up, hair and make lunches etc. Mornings are busy and stressful. 
All climb in the car ready for the 15 minute drive to schools. DD goes off to pre-school first, sometimes with tears other times without saying goodbye to Mama. This morning she decided that she didn't want to stay till she finally saw her "best friend" arrive with her mummy. Then Mama was left very quick, so she could wait at the fence for her BF. 
Then walk over to DS's school. Been in year 1 means he is a big boy and doesn't like Mama hanging around, which is great, cause Mama works at the dentist on Monday and needs to drive for 15 minutes, back the way she started. 
First stop for me is to get a coffee and have a chat to Julie, from our local coffee cart at my work.   http://www.cafeinfusion.com.au/
 Then off to work for 6 hours. This can either be enjoyable or extremely stressful. I have always enjoyed my job and many do not understand how. There is something magical about helping someone in pain or make someone feel more confident about themselves with cosmetic dentistry. Since coming back after having DD & DS, something has changed in my job. Is it I miss the children? Is it I have no patience for people? Or is it that people are not as grateful or respectful anymore? I think its the last.
After this, I am off to get my DS from school. Most times DD stays at Pre-school till we head off to the gym. Gives me time to deal with the "homework nightmare". I am sure all parents know what I mean. Only 12 years of homework to deal with :-(
Monday's are personal trainer day for DH, so we spent at least 1 hour at the gym. So it is always the treadmill and bike for me. Love the burn. 
My DS has just started Joey Scouts. He is so excited on Monday nights after scouts. Wish he could be so excited about school. It is so lovely to see them really enjoy learning. 
Till next time. Cheers, Mama Kerry. 

End each day with thoughts of peace.  Begin each day with thoughts of peace. Continue thinking thoughts of peace throughout your precious day and happiness will be yours. – unknown
