I have to work for financial reasons. I don't know if we would survive if we had to pay wages to someone for what I do. But I enjoy working and, even if I didn't have too, I still would. There are some days when I'm running to get out of the house, just to get away from the kids. The flexibility of owning our own business means I also get to do the fun things, like swimming sports and the athletic days.
Weekdays start with getting the children up and ready for school.
Getting myself organised and figuring out what I've got to do is the hardest part. Tim is strong-willed and he can be pretty hard work. The other day Jeremy had to break him out of the toilets at work after he locked himself in there. Raewyn says she has only ever had a few problems with childcare, but when it does happen, having an emergency plan is the only solution. This month Raewyn plans to take up yoga as a form of relaxation, and she's determined it will become part of her routine.
