Solo Mum in Aus

Learning to thrive as a solo mum in Australia while working and studying. It's definitely a juggling act!
I'm also on Instagram & Pinterest as solomuminaus.

@defrostedlady Wow, we have so much in common. But my part-time uni study exempts me from the job-active system, in combination with my part-time work I'm easily meeting requirements. Are they taking your study into account? I had to send my job provider the Centrelink link so they would...

Just loving this rain! Everything smells so fresh, it's great.

[Solo Mum in Aus @solomuminaus]

@TheFeedSBS Interesting timing, our government raiding journalists in the 2 days following the 30th anniversary of the Tianamen Square massacre and @4corners incredible footage in Tremble & Obey. Where are we headed?

Finally finished turning the wood pile into wood stacks- just in time for our first week of rain. Upgraded this year by using old pallets as bases. Proud of my stacking abilities! @ Western Australia https://t.co/IBChYKt9G8

Agreed. Overdue to change our national anthem. Then of course there's #australiaday to be changed too. Never too late to start being respectful.

Procrastinating, because it's WAY more fun to work on my web presence than reflect on it in my essay... @elsand @scratchslate you've somehow turned me into a social media fan. Don't know if I should thank you or throw away my tech! #webcomms #university #study #procrastination

[Solo Mum in Aus @solomuminaus]

Not surprised by these results. Now, what are we going to do about it??? #climatechange #climateemergency #ClimateChangeIsReal

[Solo Mum in Aus @solomuminaus]

Wow, someones finally merged research with common sense and empathy to come up with a strategy that will make a real difference. Looking forward to seeing some positive outcomes from this one.

@Imforthewhales Thanks, that's partly what prompted me. It's just getting worse!

Definitely some questions to be answered

Thank you, @momentumdash . "Be fearless" is exactly the greeting I needed from my computer this morning! Somehow you always know just the right thing to say to me! ❤️

This is totally how I feel, so much of the time... #singleparent #mother #workingmom

Does work, parenting and uni study always lead to late nights? Or am I the only one who feels permanently disorganised?

[Solo Mum in Aus @solomuminaus]

Argh study! Another assessment due this Friday means more sleepless nights in the lead up to the deadline. 4am and already, I'm falling asleep...

Amazing historical footage, nearly brought me to tears. Worse, tactics worked. Censorship since means many Chinese students remain unaware of this massacre, unwilling to talk about it, or conditioned to approve of it. Important to remember #Tankman #tianamensquare #Tiananmen30

No way.... a government who gives homeless people homes - without making them jump through hoops for years to prove that they "deserve" one? Where can we get a government like that??
