January Blues

Christmas has been and gone in a blur of tinsel, a flash of red while a faint jingle and ho ho ho echoes down the hall. This is the first Christmas that both my Wee Wonders have fully understood the magic of Christmas and it was lovely although I am still at odds with Granny's opinion that 'it's Christmas' so therefore perfectly acceptable for a two year old to consume nearly a whole selection box in one sitting half an hour before bed time!

Roll on to the New Year and as the last firework sprays the final shower of light thoughts turn to the dreaded words- tax return. Once again I curse myself for not being organised or proactive enough to get it over with in April, next year, I promise myself, it will be different, I will hire an accountant!

January is proving to be a very busy month with marketing for new classes starting in three locations, party bookings coming in, getting the books sorted, lesson plans, equipment ordering, social media... More hours in the day are definitely needed! I have decided that I have a choice- I can either become overwhelmed and procrastinate or I can just get on with it, as Theodore Roosevelt said 'With self-discipline most anything is possible.' Although I have definitively chosen the second option I'll still take a few minutes now and again to look up exotic holiday destinations- a girl can dream in January can't she?
