The Lazy Mum Club
Hi there, I’m Abbie and I have been a Paramedic for 12 years, and a Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) Paramedic for 9 of those. That means that I now visit patients who are in a spot of bother within one kind of unpalatable environment or another, and I must admit that it’s a pretty good gig. Most of the time…
I am also a Mum to two kids under 4 who have so much energy that I now come to work to have some kind of a rest, pee by myself (hopefully) and generally have a less stressful day.
For some reason I am also completing my Masters degree part-time. To be honest, I started it before I got pregnant with baby number 1 and then it seemed like an okay idea to continue it, which was really rather naive of me but here we are, cramming more into life than it can hold!
Some days I am a Paramedic, but every day I am a Mum, and I genuinely couldn’t tell you which days involve more unpalatable bodily fluids, noise or paperwork.
As you can imagine, life is somewhere on the spectrum between ‘utter carnage’ and ‘an absolute shit-show’, and as an inherently lazy person I thought I would try and hack my life, all of it, until it ran smoothly, like a finely tuned engine.
My life is sadly not the finely tuned engine that I had expected, and I still cannot get away with wearing any element of white clothing without immediately being patted down with peanut butter or bogies, but life does work now, and that’s really quite nice.
I thought I would share my methods and my madness (readers choice for which category each blog post belongs to!) as a full-time working Mum.
I absolutely LIVE for a bit of me-time and ultimate well-being, so please let me know if you have any miracle cures or snake oil for me to achieve this unicorn time...
Thanks for coming, please stay to spread the cheer!
Stay safe
Abbie x
