So, I finally worked out a way to buy some time, at a hefty price. I've sold my house in Perth, and I resigned from work on Tuesday. Now I have to work a three month notice period, and wait for the last few details of the sale to be finalised (the conditions of sale have been met, so it's just the paperwork to get through). It's been a big decision, and it's been quite a week. I'm still processing the changes which will happen next year. It's still not quite real, that I will have made my escape and be able to be a Mum to my beautiful girl, to have the time to give to her that I want. To not have to run from one end of the day to the other, to start the week exhausted and to finish the week shattered, to carry the enormous guilt mountain around with me every day as I try to give my attention and time to everything and everyone that requests it, only to feel like I fail them all dismally.

We'll be celebrating Sophia' 2nd birthday in Perth, if you're around the weekend closest to July 23rd keep it free!
