Being a working mum...

It's hard! Martha has broken her arm and then caught a stomach bug this week, now I've caught it from her. I've got so many orders to complete by the 10th and an exhibition to prepare for and then more orders to do after that, but I've been out of action for 3 days and am going to have to cut down on sleeping to make my deadlines...
Once you've got a child you just can not rely on definately doing anything anymore - there's so many possible scenarios that will prevent you. Pre child If you were really ill you couldn't work. Post child,  if I am ill, Martha is ill, my husband is ill, or a childminder or childminder's child is ill then my work probably has to stop. She's wonderful but oh my trying to be a working mum is hard.

I know how you feel. The pull in opposite directions can be so hard sometimes. I hope you are starting to feel better now.
