Sorry for my lack of communication. I can promise you (and look I just KNOW you have all been weeping and gnashing your teeth in grief when you check your blogreader and I haven't updated) that from now on, I am going to become a HARDCORE BLOGGER, and will be updating so much that you will want me to JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE YOU ALONE.
The reason? Because I am FREEEEE! FREEEEEEEEEEEE! Developments in the greater Slapdash household have meant that I have chucked in my job at the place I have worked for almost 10 years, to concentrate on my teaching course, and to WRITE! No more commute! No more soul eating workplace of doom! In the next 18 months I am going to become a BOHEMIAN STUDENTY ACTIVIST WRITER TYPE and will be donning eccentric jackets made from blankets and wearing JAUNTY BERETS and STRAW HATS and HAREM PANTS and CHAINING MYSELF TO THINGS BY WAY OF POLITICAL STATEMENT practically 24/7.
I can't even fully recognise the freedom I have. I mean, I still have to work a bit, and get my EARNEST MATURE AGED STUDENT on, but that's ok. I WANT TO! Therefore it is not hard. OH GOD THE NOVELTY!
This is all down to a generous financial donation to my cause by my wonderful mother. I can't thank her enough. Our life has been changed forever! I don't even care that the weather is SO HUMID AND HOT that it is practically killing me, or that I have come down with conjunctivitis. EVERYTHING IS ROSY! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM ANY MORE!
Anyway, the next 18 months is going to be the best. I have these goals;
- STUDY like a mofo and KICK ARSE uni wise
- DO EXERCISE like a mofo
- MEAL PLAN like a mofo
- KEEP THE HOUSE CLEAN like a mofo
- WRITE! WRITE LIKE I'VE NEVER WRITTEN BEFORE. LIKE A, WELL....PRACTICALLY LIKE A MOFO!
- BE THE BEST MOST LOVING AND CARING AND EVERYTHING PARENT EVER
As one of my colleagues said, eventually, you have to do what feeds your soul. Or your soul will start eating itself.
2014 is the YEAR OF FEEDING THE SOUL!
Do you feed your soul? Or does it feed on you? Do you work in a toxic environment? SHARE WITH ME MY FRIENDS!
I'm EXCITED!
I can feel your excitement and I am so glad for you. Aren't mothers just wonderful? Hope everything happens just as you want it to and your poor eyes are better soon. Hot and humid? I'd hate that weather. We actually had rain at our place yesterday after 4 months with none. The sound of the rain on the roof was music to my ears.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mimsie! I love that you comment so reliably, you are wonderful. Yes, hot AND humid - and it is almost April! Just so horrible. Here's hoping it turns into a freezing winter! So glad you got rain, what a relief!

DeleteLOVE that you are out of that environment Sarah - what a special mumma you have to give you the gift of time, with your children, your hubby and your dirty house ;) I hope we can even coffee... one day. I have to say this humidity is stupid, and we have been running our ducted AC all weekend, a bit extravagant but better than sweat in places I don't care to mention! WHOOP WHOOP, I can't wait to read more lovely lady :) x
