Excuses for why this blog is suffering from neglect

Excuse Number 1

Though this is my first experience of school holidays with a school age child, I thought school holidays was a time for kids to chill out, relax and recover from the term.

Seems I was wrong! Our school holidays have been far more busy and hectic than a school week. Obviously, I still worked 3 days/week (except for the sick-day-that-wasn’t-a-sick-day) and Boo is at day care kindy for two of those days. The other 3 days of the week Boo had spare were filled choc-a-block.

There was a Hi-5 concert, there was Scitech, there was play dates, there was Easter, there was family gatherings.

Boo asked to do nothing at all last weekend! As her chauffeur and chaperone, I was more than happy to oblige. Unfortunately for us, we got invited out way too many times!

Excuse Number 2

In my perfect dream world, I am Super Mum! I can balance sole parenting, a career, school holidays, two units of a Masters, life, a BLOG, a Twitter account and a Facebook account (with a farm)!

In reality. It seems I cannot especially when said university expects two assignment submissions during school holidays (which are not university holidays)! 

Excuse Number 3

I’ve been dog-sitting and the extra dog ate my blog!

My dog  left presents of dead rats and mice on my back doorstep.

Excuse Number 4

There was no less than four half finished blog posts, that never got to the point where I hit the ‘publish’ button *sigh*
