annual leave
I’m going to have a few days off to recharge. While it would be nice to be in the picture on holiday, just a sleep in would be wonderful this week!
I’m pretty busy at the moment and I get through a lot over the course of the week. I’m teaching MYOB as a volunteer again, so busy lesson planning; our hot water heater has just about given up the ghost, so I need to get it replaced; our house needs a little TLC and of course there is the little fella to look after. He is certainly growing up to be a handful, already he just wants to get going – he does a lot of moving backwards though 
. Apart from that, the doc thought he had a hernia (turns out it’s ‘just’ fluid in the family jewels) and now we’re trying lactose-free formula and hoping it will help with his eczema (very mild) and ‘reflux’ like symptoms.
Time management and being organised is something that I’m continually working on, but I think it’s one of my strengths (more on time management in the next few weeks). Having said that, there is one thing that I’m failing to do and that’s prioritising some time out, me time, time to relax and otherwise recharge. All work and no play makes mummy not much fun to be around. So this week (and maybe next week) I will be silent here (but not quite absent) while I take some time to gather the troops.
Hope that you have a wonderful week and that you take some time out also to relax and recharge.

SAVE MONEY AND TIME ON THE GROCERIES
Hope you have a good break Melissa. It is important to prioritise some time for yourself. Enjoy it and don’t feel guilty!!!
When you are “gainfully employeed” you earn the right to a break every 12 months. When you spend your time at home its next to impossible to find the time for a break AND not feel guilty for taking it. Enjoy your break Melissa it’s important to recharge yourself. The internet is not going anywhere in your abscence
Just on the topic of your little one’s reflux and allergies… My DS2 had reflux too. He was put on Zantac and Losec and we changed his formula to Karicare AR (anti-reflux) sometimes we tried the HA-AR one (for allergies). They both helped with his reflux. But I wanted to mention that there is a special formula that you can only get on paediatric prescription called Neocate that is helpful for babies with reflux, lactose intollerance, issued with digesting proteins etc. Here is a helpful link you might like to read AFTER your break!!

No matter your type of employment or how many hours you work, we all deserve a break every now and again. It is essential for ones well being and ultimate happiness.
So when you do take that holiday, be sure to properly embrace it, even if it does mean perhaps borrowing some money, just to cover you for those unexpected holiday emergencies.
I’ve done it when i’ve been short of cash before. Generally fast cash payday loans are the best way to go about obtaining that holiday emergency money..and even better, they are the easiest to repay.
Are you going to go solar?
Thankyou for all of your kind comments.
@ Maria thankyou for that link, it was very interesting espeically because mamma has a dairy intolerance (doesn’t stop me loving milk though)
@ Benjamin, we are definitely getting solar hot water. Only logical option in QLD and we have a great north facing roof, perfect for solar. We need a new hot water system and after all the rebates there is only a couple of hundred dollars difference between solar and the old electric hw, which we will save in electricity in very little time considering 50% of our bill is hot water!
