You know how life is pretty full week to week? And you know how when you throw something random into the mix (for example, a farm party), things just go mental? And then you know how you decide that that’s the perfect week to start a new job?
Yep, that’s my week.
I can’t believe I once posted about never feeling busy. What a monkey.
So, this week I’m grateful for…
239. Respite – next week the farm party will be a distant (hopefully happy) memory and I will be in my second week of my new role and it will be feeling like an old (hopefully happy) shoe.
240. Trying – new things, new opportunities, new adventures… you’ve just got to give them a go.
241. Help – that beloved husbie of mine has been chief paper cutter this week, patiently cutting out all the little bits and pieces that go into tying a party theme together. And, god love him, he even asked me this morning if I was going to put the ‘farm party logo’ on a banner I’m making. He gets me, he really does.

“He gets me, he really does” – that is so special Bron. Have a great weekend. x

Respite – ask me again at the end of the month when i have a husband home from war, that will be one champagne cork popping burst of happiness, safe & sound, straight back into father mode (for a nice 6 week holiday, yes, a father who holidays by being actually at home in the same city with his children, as opposed to one who lives-with-us-normally) & yippee, being a wife again, yahoo. Right now, exhausted, tired, dragging myself to the finish line. Love Posie
Elisa {with grace and eve} says
That’s so sweet of your hubby! I love that he gets you. Trying new things is what I’m working on. Hope the farm party is fantastic! xx
Sonia LifeLoveandHiccups says
Those hubbies secretly love it you know, I think it evokes memories of Kindy craft or something. I hope you get that respite Hun and I can’t wait to read all about the party xxx
Sarah says
What an awsome hubby! The fact that he is right in it as well – a team effort – very very cool.
Cherie @ 'a baby called Max' says
Wow, sounds like the Maxabella house is a busy one at the moment!
Thank God for paper cutting husbies 🙂
And new jobs (adventures!)
Diminishing Lucy says
Ooooh! I need to know more about the new role now!
Caz (The Truth About Mummy) says
You’re in party planning mode again. Your kids are going to have the best stories about their birthday parties when they grow up!! Party Queen!! I didn’t realise I could still link up gratefuls on your page. I got a bit lost when the system changed and never followed thru finding out more.
Polly says
Ive never been busier than I have this year, I am now eternally grateful for a little quiet time.
Nat - Muddy Farmwife says
I think I need some of your party planning mojo, because I sure can’t find mine.
Good luck in the new job and a big YAY for Hubby and his party contribution.
Miriam says
I tried to join in with this today but for some reason the code on your side bar isn’t working in my blog – in the draft I can see the button but once I publish I just get a white box. It feels a bit stink to link in when I’m not linking back…. Love hubbies who are supportive too. Bet the party is AWESOME!
Down that Little Lane says

Cat from Raspberry Rainbow says
Awww, what a good egg your husbie is! I hope your new job is all you want (and more) and i know the farm party will be fantabulous!
emma @ frog, goose and bear says
1. Can’t wait for this farm party – can’t wait. I am super jealous of a husband who helps out with the party prep!!!!!!! mine is happy enough to help out on the day. but the prep is beyond him. do you hire him out?
2. what’s the new job?!
3. I’m never more alive than when I’m busy. The opposite, although I often crave it, actually bores me to tears.
Kylie @ Octavia and Vicky says
Congrats on the new job and a belated good luck for the party. I hope it went well. Catching up on blog posts… I wonder if you’ve posted it yet…
