First try

Well hello. So this is my first blog, please bear with me. I'm currently a SAHM, officially! That is, I've been a SAHM before but I was on maternity leave and knew I'd have a job to go back to when I wanted to. This time around, (the second) I was made redundant while on maternity leave. So now I am officially a SAHM. When I fill in forms and it asks for occupation I now have to write 'Stay at home mum'. Truth be told I'm ready to go back to work part-time. If I still had my old job I'd be back there 2 days a week. Mstr E is already at daycare 2 days. Miss M is at pre-primary. I'm ready for a bit more adult interaction and something to get my brain in motion. Not to mention the extra cash would come in handy.
So I was prepared, Mstr E was down for daycare from the day he was born. I was offered the 2 days and I grabbed it with both hands, knowing vacancies are like gold dust. He appears to have adjusted far better than Miss M did but perhaps that's a boy thing.
So I'm ready to work. Do you think I can find a job that'll allow me to work the 2 days that the little one is in daycare? Not a chance in hell! I'm willing to do night work, supermarket work, anything. I 'tweak' my resume to fit the job, leave out huge exerts so as not to be 'over qualified' and yet still nothing. I had a good job in a really well known company, I'd risen through the ranks. All I want now is a job where I go in, get the job done and leave without having to worry about it. I'm in my 3rd month of looking and getting seriously fed up.
So I've been thinking what can I do with my time, that's productive, while Mstr E is at daycare, and I'm feeling guilty. I've looked at courses, but there are good and bad points. I then thought hang on, I spend my day reading blog exerts, why can't I write one, so here I am.
As for my blog name, well that's the sentence I hear from the minute I get up until the minute I fall asleep. 'IN A MINUTE MAMMY!"
My life has changed since June 2008. I now have 2 wonderful children, with my partner of 17 years! Yep still partner, no wedding yet ... I hope that this blog will include anecdotes, questions and experiences of my life with children. I hope it keeps you interested.
