With the first snowfall on the mountain sighted this morning, winter is almost certainly upon us. With that is a whole new family routine as I return to work and the boys experience a cold season for the very first time.
My Dad always tells me that life is just one adjustment after another, and I am finally starting to believe him. Following our trip to Sydney, we have been inundated with colds, ear infections, coughs and food poisoning, all in the space of a week. Really, when will it end?! Now that it's getting chilly we have to educate ourselves in proper outdoor attire and how to keep warm indoors without blowing the lid on our electricity bills. Something we never had to really consider in our former abode, and something easily forgotten after ten years away from our countries of origin. So, adjusting to the cold, adjusting to another sickness, adjusting to working, adjusting to more organisation, it's all really quite a tiring experience! Really I need to be in bed by 8, up at 6, have a magic wand and super tidy management skills to get myself through the next few months. Oh and remember to keep some time for myself, exercise, eat well, socialise and spend some time with my husband. Hmmm, a balancing act that will be fun to observe. Pity I can't be the one watching!
