started back full time last monday. wasn't that fun!! 

anyway i'll stop whinging and get to the point i need help. 

tips, cheat sheets, advice, fail proof 5 minute recipes whatever it may be on how on earth people do this! work full time study part time run a house hold love educate cherish discipline encourage etc an 18 month old have some me time & sleep. people do it all the time i know they do but i'm still trying to figure out how. what's the trick? 

my reward

i have just submitted my final assignment for the semester, who knew i could design and write a website? not me but apparently i can. i'm a little bit excited, i can now go and pour myself a big glass of wine and relax. the champagne i will keep on ice till i get the results so until then...cheers.

deadline

well my deadline is fast approaching, my assignment is due midnight tomorrow and instead of being head down bum up i've had a lovely day with my little poppet. because as most know trying to tell a 16 month old mummy has to ignore her, lock myself in a room and study is just not acceptable!
so instead we did a big walk around the perimeter of our local golf course hung out at the park with heaps of other kids and parents and then back again.
followed by an itty bitty nap that i was hoping would last 2 hours but instead gave me all of 40mins.

we topped off the afternoon by baking some chocolate chip cookies from a fabulous cookbook "baking with tiny tots". and as the recipe has oats in it i had less guilt than usual about letting her lick the spoon.
now that she's sound asleep i now have a chance to freak out about how much work i have to do, how much i just don't understand, that i should have started this earlier and you know what i had better get cracking on re-arranging those cupboards ; )

that time again..

..when i have assignments due. as you may have figured out, i'm last minute when it comes to these. naughty i know but you just cant change me, oh how i've tried. anyway the next two weeks see two of the hideous things due and all i want to do is play with pretty fabrics. wouldn't you?

weight off my mind

 a weight has been lifted and i feel as light as a feather, i have finished my 2nd assignment. i am now able to relax. (however not with a cup of tea as i still feel buzzed from the umpteen cups i've had today : )

an A in procrastination

as i mentioned before going away i have two assignments that are fast nearing their deadline. but hey i always get an A in procrastination and again i wont let that subject go unattended. i have been itching to sew for ages now as it's been, well simply ages. so instead of studying i'm doing just that. i've started to make some things for the next handmade show. and i'm loving it. oh sewing machine how i've missed you!
