Love, bubs and life on our little farm

I have been quiet on the blogging front - since I got back from my US trip, well I was jet lagged hideously and back at work within 24 hours of hitting Australian soil, Jase left immediately for a work trip (high five for tagteam parenting), I had three days to finish organising my girls joint birthday party and had my young horse at a competition the day after that. So you can guess what happened next? Uh-huh I got SICK and then sick and then sick for a 3rd time, and then Bronte was sick so I had to take time off work and Jase had lots of work travel, oh and I had the biggest microbiology conference of the year to attend (and had nine different presentations with my name on it, yes nine!). And more other little things and big things that I won;t bore you with listing...

And now my lecturing starts, I have a new Masters student plus my current two and I agreed to take a Honours student, I had all of my staff's yearly reviews to complete, three manuscripts to edit and write, I have been invited to give a guest seminar for Aus Society of Micro and am an organiser for Science Week. Stupid.Busy.

And I have dressage competitions, Bronte's speech pathology and hearing tests, Elka has school events that require costumes (!), a horse arena complete with council approval to organise, I have an abdominal ultrasound to try and find time to schedule (no I am not pregnant and no the Dr was not impressed when I said I wouldn't be able to squeeze it in for a few weeks lol), Jase is heading to the US for a work trip and then we have our own little interstate holiday with the kids to sort.

So blogging was the last thing I felt like doing when I opened the laptop at night to try and write lectures and veg on facebook.

But bit by bit, I have got my energy back and I feel like there is time for blogging.

So that is my update.  More to come!
