EHM yes I am learning to live with my body/brain's requirements. I can't be super woman 24/7

So Other than
Up and showered
Dressed to shoes
Empty DW
Put away
Get breakfast ready
Serve it
Tidy away
Load DW
Dress DS
Take Ds to school
Sort DS's CD's (condense them to CD wallets rather than cases)
Tape DS's books back (I get library cast off at 15p each so a bit of tape is no hassle)
Load and run TD
Empty and fill again

I've been out all day trying on bridesmaid dresses. My poor BF is on a non starter with me as I am devoid of feminine wiles. We found one I feel stunning in so We'll plump for that (I think) As BF is buying the dress and the fitting at least I can get lunch. (pasta and garlic bread at the Italian)

So a nice day TBH, house is self maintaining ATM so I'm doing very very little for the rest of the day.

Have fun all

tortoise · 31/01/2007 15:58

Also went in the understairs cupboard(mainly full of stuff for Ebaying) and found the charger lead for video camera!

DD and DS2 are fine. Ds2 got his lift home again so he was happy and DD has been full of it today. she has been doing and saying some really funny things today, which has been good as it has kept me going all day.

EHM Hope you get a better night sleep tonight and anyone else who had a bad night last night.

Tort DS1 has only been ill since Monday night. DS2 and DD and myself did not feel to good at the this time last week.
At least DS1 was ok for his birthday. Its just hit him for six now though

My ds seems almost better so may be OK for pre-school tomorrow. Dd is getting worse though. She seemed brighter earlier but has really gone downhill again in the last hour or two Her cough is worse and she has the sorest nose - poor thing

laloop · 31/01/2007 19:39

Hope all your lo's are better soon.

Have had our shepherd's pie for dinner, dishwasher loaded and kitchen cleaned. DS1 in bed and asleep. Just have to bath the other two now and get them to bed and then I can relax in front of TV (once I've put yet another load of washing on )

tortoise · 31/01/2007 19:45

DD's in bed. And ive made my bed so have clean sheets to snuggle into tonight. Spent ages looking for the 2nd pillow case only to suddenly realise that xp2 took his pillow with him complete with my pillow case. prick! I have asked him for it back a few times. Wil have to tell him to give it back now.

Shouldbe Sorry your DD is worse but good news that ds seems better.
My DD1 sounded wheezy when i took her to bed so i gave her my inhalor with kiddy spacer that Dr gave us a while ago incase they ever needed it knowing there is asthma in the family.

Hot bath running now. Will have that in a bit.
