Autumn

It’s Autumn.

It’s not cold but there is a very different weather pattern happening. Trees are losing leaves, the summer rain has gone, the clouds are light and grey instead of heavy and black. There’s no humidity anymore. I love this time of year.

But does anyone else feel like there are just not enough hours in the day?

Lately my blogging has been quite sporadic because between parenting, studying, housekeeping, socializing, and sleeping, I’m not really finding time for much else. Throw in having cars stolen and our house broken into, it seems as though every last minute of every day is spent doing something. Or catching up on something that should have been done the day before.

Last night the small one only woke once overnight. Hallelujah! When DS woke up and I heard the shower going I thought “WTH, why is he showering at this hour of the night, he’s woken the baby!”

It was actually 5.30am.

Oops.

I’m actually finding myself really no longer interested in a lot of birth or newborn type stuff unless it really grabs me. I just don’t have the time. Majority of the reading I’m doing is course related.

Which, by the way, is going well. I have two subjects completed, Nutrition 1 and Naturopathic Philosophy with a credit and a distinction respectively. I’m now working on Herbal Medicine 1 and Anatomy and Physiology 1. I’m plodding along with it and very much enjoying it.

My mother in law will be here next week and we’re all very much looking forward to that.

It’s beginning to cool down overnight now and the kids are in winter pjs.

We’re getting there, albeit quite slowly at times. We’re waiting for a few things to happen and I know that they will.

Health wise I’m feeling fit, strong and healthy. I’m getting to the gym a couple of times a week and working towards my fitness goals.

Overall we’re doing okay. Having the cars stolen was a huge stressor but it looks like the end of that saga is very near.

Fingers crossed.
