Morning all! Hope everyone OK.
Very dull day here - only 15°c! Had a bit of a tough week but it's all over now thank heavens and dd finished school at 12 noon yesterday (when they finally told her she had been put through). She was ecstatic and came home with a beaming smile and a really good report in the end so think I had been mahoosively over-stressing for no good reason.
And to be fair to the school: the teachers certainly worked extremely hard right up to the very end this week and put in huge efforts for the children when they must have felt like taking it easy post exam stress. They've had sports day, forest school, craft day, two special breakfasts, films, games, form tournaments etc, all of which dd has enjoyed hugely.
Normally, at this point, I would feel really relaxed and happy - because I love the school holidays (v. easy with one child + free from strictures of school rigidity + get to see family in UK + get to do a lot more horse stuff etc) but just feel very flat.
Think I am still recovering from medical procedure when I mahoosively under-estimated effects of two (albeit very light) anaesthetics within short period of time. As dh travelling, arranged baby-sitting help for one evening/one day but could have done with more, felt absolutely dire when it was my turn to take dd to school, only just managed to crawl there and back, nearly didn't make it one morning. So stupid because have friends/baby-sitter who would have helped out very happily but I didn't bother to organise it properly.
Diet has gone out the window because we've survived on take-aways...Fly routines have stalled.
Plus, more seriously, have singularly failed to organise house in time for holidays (and it's even worse after a week of me lying on the sofa) and it's all in a rather depressing state. Dh came back from his trip full of ideas about how he is going to expand the business and I couldn't help thinking that I wish he would put same enthusiasm in to getting the holes in our walls fixed (didn't say that of course).
Another dh classic this morning: within one hour of dh returning home yesterday evening, he rushed out to DIY shop and came home with soldering kit. My hopes rose... was he going to fix something in the house? No. It turns out that the remote control for the telly had come apart ... .
First task for today: stop moaning! 
Second task of the day: strong coffee
Third task of the day: force myself to do general tidy up (although feel like hiding under duvet instead)
Fourth task of the day: force myself to do some of the things I have been procrastinating hugely over
Fourth task of the day: find tall handy man!!
Haven't caught up with thread yet so pls forgive lack of personals and this 'me' 'me' 'me' post but very indulgently using it to set me on my way and then I'll come back and see what everyone has been up to.
Weary wing flaps to one and all!
