So I’m thinking of progressing.
‘Good luck’ I hear you say,
As you’re not exactly marketable
When you only work three days. 😩
…
I’ll add more feathers to my cap
And hope they hit the spot.
So I’m training in my lunch (half) hour,
As it’s the only time I’ve got.
…
Good job I’m a commuter.
For researching, trains are great,
As toddlers do not care a jot
If your CV’s up to date.
So ‘Mummy brain’ is very real,
But mummies get confused. 🤔
They think their brain is shutting down.
It’s not. It’s being abused.
…
Before we had 10 million things
We had to keep in mind.
And now we have 10 million more.
Some stuff gets left behind.
…
Coz it’s all about priority.
Our brains, they make the call.
It picks the most important things,
As it cannot do them all.
Do working mums watch telly?
I certainly do not.
I miss my old pal Netflix.
I think of them a lot. 😩
…
I’ve been told I need to network?
How will I find the time?
There’s tonnes to do when I get home.
I’m on the go till nine!
…
So I’m trying out the online route.
But will that be enough?
And it’s a very scary thought
That folk might read my stuff. 😳
My diary’s back to back today.
I might get lunch at three.
I’ve got a project plan to write
And I really need to pee. 😬
…
If I want to get through everything
It’ll be a nine hour day.
It’s nice and quiet after six,
Once most folk are away. 😩
…
Then it’s home to keep on going,
As Mummy never rests.
If bloody clothes could wash themselves,
Then I’d be well impressed!
So here I am reporting back.
I hear ‘Is your plan nailed?’
I’ve tried my best, I’ve had a crack
And yes, you’re right, I’ve failed. 😫
…
Month one I did a seven hour day,
Month two it went to eight.
The third month it was eight point five,
Now nine. I’m working late.
…
My boss keeps telling me to go,
To take some time in lieu.
But I can’t even take my lunch,
I’ve got so much to do!
And so I’m trying to have it all.
Let’s see just how I do.
They all say it’s impossible,
So that’s likely to be true.
…
Working Mummy’s my new name.
Guilt’s waiting in the wings.
I’m trying to get back in the game
And stay on top of things.
…
I’ve said I’ll limit work I take,
(I’m only fooling me).
Whilst acting like I’m still full-time,
I’ll do five days in three. 😅
