The husband is at Uni. The two older kids at school. The youngest is being baby-sat by Grandma so I can do some work.
As I sit down to the computer, I am astounded again by the beauty of this rain-soaked morning. The bush turkeys from the park across the road were also enjoying it. I couldn’t resist taking a photo to post.
Enough procrastinating… back to work.

I wrote that post in the first week of March. Today is the first morning since then that I have had a chance to actually sit at the computer to get some work done (and it is curiously another of those rare rain-soaked days).
I opened my computer to discover the emails are collecting together and organising a revolt (they have already managed to stop my ability to reply to anyone). A number of work deadlines expired silently due to neglect.
It seems that I am not so good at this work / family balance. One happens while the other is neglected. Obviously the last 6 weeks have been family time.
Now, while I write, my three year old is discovering the many uses of freshly cooked playdough. I expect to be discovering patches of red throughout the house for months to come... all for a good cause, I guess.
(hmm, it is very silent out there... maybe I need to check on the playful Mr Happy first).
