Career Mums

OMG,  the days are going so quick now….It was only a little while ago that I added my Summer Cocktail post and How to host a garden party article and bang – Autumn’s here. I have even heard talks about Christmas shopping, even though Christmas is still over 12 weeks away..clearly, some people are blessed with too much time on their hands.

Anyway..what’s been going down on Blogsville? ..as always I have gone and buried myself under a mountain load of work and abandoned a few of the things that are dear to my heart.

I was reading a post on the Dailymail today (yeah I enjoy the tab and gossip columns occasionally) and they had an interesting article on superwomen working mothers and how they have had to rework their careers so they can have time to enjoy their families. I can relate to a couple of experiences like Rachel Clacher and her hubby joking about how lucky they are that their children were born at the weekend and bank holiday because Rachel never took any maternity leave. Reminds me of when I had my daughter and about an hour after she popped out, I was on the phone to a colleague saying I wouldn’t be in that day because the baby had arrived..and my daughter arrived almost two weeks late. Joanne Berry admitting to buying the fairy cakes for her daughters nursery school picnic also got me thinking , ‘cos I’ve been there and done that…not to mention the emotional turmoil and short temperedness they have all had with working long hours at home and in the office.

I however had to agree with Nicola “CITY SUPER-MUM” who says if you have enough money to buy the support you need and are lucky enough to be the boss so you can dictate your hours..you can indeed be super woman and have it all..would you agree?
