A Day In the Life of a MWWAH! #1 Jess Simpson

A Day In the life of a MWWAH

Jess Simpson (26) Mum of 2 with another on the way and general manager of mwwah.com.au.

Click goes the TV and my eyes pop open hesitantly. Master J (6) is an early riser and always goes out to watch Telly... trying to be quiet but it never happens. Bird starts to whistle over and over and over again and Miss T (2 1/2) wakes up and I know its time to get up. Kids begging for breakfast as soon as I emerge... 2 sec I say running to the toilet for what seems like the hundreds time since I went to bed... Ahh the joys of being 29 weeks pregnant...

Breakfast for the kids, clothes ready for hubby to go to work, seed for the chirping bird, washing in machine and dishwasher to unpack and get ready to reload from breakfast. 9.30am Hubby leaves for work and I quickly check emails as I'm expecting an important reply however this is the start of my non working day. What starts out to b my day off ends up with me doing the countless things you seem to do when your in business.

So I sit here at my desk working busy as a bee giving more of myself to help others and I suddenly look at the clock and realise it's now 11am. I'm still in my PJ's, hair and teeth not yet brushed, I haven't eaten breakfast yet but hey clothes are in washing machine, dishes are in dishwasher and kids are content and occupied one is reading a book and one is watching her favourite show.

 

I have a cuppa and a piece of toast, take 2 mins to have a shower get dressed and brush my teeth and hair and I start to feel like a woman and not a tired old hag!  I sit down to interact with my daughter and we just start to laugh and play and I hear the "DING" of a email. Hmmm, do I or don't I check?

 

Deciding to ignore it while I make some lunch for the kids I have this nagging feeling and urge to check what is waiting in the inbox... It may be important...Someone may need me... It could be a potential client?

 

After I've made the kids lunch I give in to the urge and once again I'm back at it working hard on multiple tasks, facebooking, tweeting, adding web content, returning emails and PM's all while chatting with the kids, singing songs, playing Scissors-paper-rock, reading books, helping with puzzles, maths questions on Master J's DS then hanging out washing for 10 minutes for an eye break  from the PC and a stretch and then back to the content writing once again.

 

Before I know it it 3pm Saturday afternoon, time to go out to pick up some milk and bread and much needed toilet paper and then back home to get a start on dinner. Chicken and Vege stir fry with rice we all sit down to eat, back to cleaning up , dishes in dishwasher, kids in bath, washing off the line. Kids watching Madagascar while I have some one on one adult time with hubby and talk about his day then story time and kids brush their teeth and into bed. Now looking at the time its almost 8.30pm and the day is not yet over. I'm back to answering questions, liking new pages, thinking of concepts and ideas, emailing clients, sourcing content, helping clients advertise on the site and more.

 

As I write this it seems exhausting and a long tireless day but I LOVE every minute of being able to have the best of both worlds. Being a mum and working around my kids works for me and loving what you do makes it easy to do your work each day.

 

Tomorrow however is a FAMILY day... and I couldn't ask for any more than that!!
