So..for those FIVE of you still reading my blog – husband, sister-in-law, sister in UK, sister here in Brisbane, unknown person who searches for “tasmiya blog” everytime they visit (have you heard of bookmarking?! It’s so much easier than searching for me every day) – the nag has well and truly gone and mornings are much more relaxed. For me.
The boys still dawdle, snigger and laugh and get distracted but you know what? They get what needs to be done in the time they have. So far, two days in a row have gone pretty smoothly and I owe it all to MYSELF! (just kidding) I don’t tell them anything. I just warn them every now & again how much time they have and they do it. Of course it’s all the boys’ hard work. I think I just needed to trust them enough that they can manage their own time themselves.
Time management has never been a friend of mine. We’ve actually been enemies since day one and it’s nice to know that God willing my boys will have a much better relationship with her than I ever did.

Surviving – it’s still early days for us yet. I am still cynical enough to think that it will only last a few more days and I will be back to my nagging and yelling and the boys will be back to their dawdling very soon.
