I live for Tuesdays and Thursdays!

Finally, I have created a blog! Kym, you are the inspiration.

I have a confession to make. I live for Tuesdays and Thursdays. Once upon a time BC (before children) I used to live for the weekend but now AC (yes, after children) I live for Tuesdays and Thursdays as they are the days my beautiful girls go to childcare.

Do they go to childcare because I work? Hmmm, how to answer that? I don't leave my home to go to a place of work that pays me a wage but I do run a home, look after three kids and a cat and run a small business from home but that isn't why they go to childcare.

The simple truth (and I have decided that this will be a blog of truth) is that my children go to childcare so I can have a break. They don't need it for socialisation or education etc but they need to go so I stay sane.

The truth is, I am a better mother because they go.

What do I do on Tuesdays? I will tell you what I do on Thursdays when Thursday comes - stay tuned. Well today I changed my stale sheets and I confess they were overdue. I washed three loads of washing, folded and put away two loads of washing, vacuumed and mopped the floors, cooked two meals (tonight's and tomorrow nights), did some Belly Beat work (check out my business ), met my favourite girls for coffee (Sarah and Fiona), did some shopping and of course fed and played with my baby boy.

But today I did something I have never done on a Tuesday before.

Today I had a massage!

It was bliss. Sarah came over while Benjamin was having his nap and I went off and had a one hour massage. One hour of total peace and quiet. One hour of total relaxation. One hour totally to myself. One whole hour...

I wish I could say this will become a regular Tuesday thing (like the mopping and meeting the girls for coffee) but I can't see that happening. However, it was the highlight of my day and such a wonderful treat.
