22 - I was ill and now I'm not so much. So, hello again.

Its been a while. A long while actually but I haven't forgotten about the blog. On my last post I was on the verge of a horrid cold which completely knocked me sideways. I've had about three colds since then, one on top of the other but getting there slowly. Fingers crossed I won't be ill this Christmas (it seems to have become tradition for me to be ill or pregnant over the last 5 Christmases, sometimes both) and get to enjoy the children opening their presents and good food and wine. The panic is starting to ease a little and I'm starting to look forward to Christmas. I've had a ban put on working which sounds crazy and like a no brainer but I love it and I'm so excited about next year I just want to get on now!

I have so much that I want to post about and will try to gather my thoughts and make a better go of keeping up in the new year. I'm so excited for this new year, I can't wait to get my teeth in to some new projects and get back in to a work routine. Its tough with being a full time mama too but I love work too much to stop. I need to find my balance though as some times lately I've felt on the verge of falling down with everything and not being a great mama or getting very far with work. I'm determined to find my stride and make it work. Are any of you in a similar situation? Any strategies you'd like to share?
