Bad Blogger

[via: weheartit.com]

Tsk, tsk, tsk! I have been such a bad blogger as of late. I do apologize. I've been busy settling in and trying to get a routine down with the four kids who I am now an au pair for while living in the UK. Let me tell you, it's tough work. I'm also working in a volunteer teaching position as well so as you can imagine, my days are seriously busy. My weekends I'm usually out and about as it's the only real 'me time' I get. I will definitely try my best to get a post out this weekend as well as try to get Livs to finally write her first post as well!

Week 1: Kids & Banking Woes

Good evening Blogosphere!

So, as you already know, I am in London for the next 16 months (minimum). Since I've arrived, I've been trying to get settled in and allow my body to adjust to the time difference, however, my body seems to have a mind of it's own and has not taken well to the time shift. I am constantly tired during the day because back home in Canada, I would be sleeping when it is 12 noon here. It's frustrating as I started working officially on the monday after I arrived which means that I've been struggling with getting my body in order while watching four children.

Safe & Sound

Hello Hello!

So, I am now in jooly old England! My body is having one helluva time adjusting at the moment as it's both, really tired but wide awake. It isn't quite sure what it wants to do given the travelling it's just done. I hope it figures it out soon though.

I will write a full post in the next few days as I have a headache at the moment.

Ready, Set, Go!

Hello Hello!

Just a quick note to say that I leave tonight. I cannot believe that the weeks have flown by and the day is finally here!

The next time I update, it will be from London!  So overly excited about this new chapter of my life.

Almost Time!

I have a mere three days before I leave for London.

Am I nervous? Yes. Am I worried I may not mesh well with the family I'm working for? Yes. Am I excited even though I'm nervous and worried? You bet.

I had been slacking with packing but tonight, put aside an hour and plowed through the majority of what needed to be done. I am quite proud, if I do say so myself. I have my last bag to finish packin gbut must wait until my laundry is dry to finish packing my last bag. Let me tell you, fitting everything you might possibly need for the next 16 months into two suitcases, is not at all an easy task.

I will try to update once again before I leave and after that, the next time I write, I will be in jolly 'ole England!

Tootles! xx

1 Month and Counting

Aloha!

My departure date is merely a month away. I didn't think that the time would be flying by so quickly but I was wrong. Last time I checked, I had a solid 7 weeks to get things organized before leaving but today marks 4 weeks until D-Day.
