Chalking up experiences

My first day back at work was a little overwhelming as I get back into the grind by catching up with all the work I have missed, undertake new ones as well as trying to manage my stress level with The Nanny issue looming over my head after an extremely stressful weekend. I can only remember the day as being in a big huge frenzy.

We can't seem to catch a break with the last few days being particularly hectic:

• Search for a new nanny began last Friday night
• Spent literally 2 1/2 days back-to-back interviews of a potential babysitter/domestic help since Saturday
• Spud had an inflammation of her intestines and been having diarrhoea for a week. Diagnosed with food allergy on Sunday.Have to go for blood test on Tuesday.
• Me starting work on Monday. Loads of projects to catch up on.
• Having to fire our current Nanny on Monday evening.
• Missed out on hiring a really good candidate by mere minutes as when she picked up our call, she has just finished and interview of which she was hired on the spot. (major, major boo!)
• Cancelling on one candidate whom we thought we were going to hire. (Super stress!)
• Hiring a new babysitter/domestic help by end of Monday night.

What a way to start a work week after a 3 month maternity leave! Life should be so interesting.
