A maths subject at school I always found interesting – mainly because it was logical! Fractions are how I find myself breaking down my time and my day with four {not so} tiny humans.
I get approximately 1/5 of my food.
I get approximately 3/5 of my cup of tea – and more if I make the kids a cup so they won’t scab off of me!
I spend 18/24 of the day awake
I juggle the rule of thirds daily – prioritising their needs and wants. Then the big brother that makes it a rule of quarters.
Some times I don’t have enough hands to juggle them all, particularly when they are crook. Things like this happen –
Booga overload!
Chocolate overload!
Art overload onto the walls!
I have been a wife for ten years and with my husband for 1/3 of my life
I have been a nurse for 1/2 my life
And a mother for 1/4 of my life
Always in birth order!
I spend 3/24 every day being an events coordinator
And around 2/24 as a caterer
And around 6/24 a cheerleader a week (officially, the other 18/24 I cheer silently!)
A good 2/24 a day as a negotiator –
And in all honesty 100/100 a mixture of happiness, concern, frustration, fear, fatigue, joy, pride and hope.
I think any more fractions will send me cross eyed. Best get back to it!
