Stash and dash areas as the extra zone room? So... the entire house then? 🤔
Good plan who I tend to get lost in MN sometimes, I don’t post nearly so much these days and generally only read and post on this, Frugaleers and Hoarders in full, but that doesn’t always stop me refreshing active and clicking on far too much.
Unproductive here, Mother’s Day was nice, my kids know me too well and bought me a board game and a mug with a Meeple (extra special as this was one of baby’s nicknames in utero 😂). DH was working in the afternoon and I felt quite panicky about taking the three of them out alone. Which is ridiculous as I do that pretty much every day. But we went for a meal as planned, it was quite hard as baby was awake the whole time. Still nice though.
Planning to have an anti procrastination week, there is so much I’ve been putting off. And I really really need to get better at fitting in all these errands, and home ed stuff. So much time just seems to disappear, and it isn’t all just going on baby feeding and changing, I don’t get it! I think I am just inherently inefficient.
So, tomorrow I have a pupil (plus their sibling for a play date) so the Caglets have to help tidy and do their work in the morning. I’ve set a time we have to finish the play date by so I can finally get to baby clinic. We will go to town after and I’ll weigh myself as well (decided to do it on the same day every month or two). And go to Wilko for storage and some stuff for a poster because we WILL do a project this week (a lovely Irish mumsnetter sent some bits over in preparation for st Patrick’s day).
I’ve also arranged with a friend to go get tap shoes for our boys (it’s a few towns away so train journey required) on Tuesday but I will get my ridiculously overdue blood tests done first.
Also need to sort admin for finances, trampolining, ballet show. Book in lessons with other pupils. Go swimming en famille on Wednesday as we promised the Caglets we would once baby had her third jabs.
Today I put a wash on. Didn’t prep maths or spellings for tomorrow. Fail. I’ve been thinking for a while of just printing off worksheets (there’s a great site that generates hundreds of types, with parameters set by you, so fantastic for addition drills etc which is basically what the daily morning maths is) - now that they’re accustomed to doing it and writing on whatever paper we have since half the time they can’t find their bloody books. 🤦♀️ Anyway I haven’t even vaguely got the headspace (or physical space) to set up the printer that has been in the corner of the bedroom for months, so I think I’ll just bite the bullet and print a load off at the library. It’s got to be worth £1-2 a week (or free if my friend happens to be behind the desk at the time 😇) in the short term, to take the thinking out of my hands for a bit. It’s THINKING that exhausts me. There is so much to remember. All the time. Mental load and all that crap.
Don’t imagine I’ll be up to cooking after TKD either. I’m getting sick of microwaveable stuff. Might get some Tupperware tomorrow, I was planning to wait until we move and have the lovely new huge fridge freezer, but we do have more space now and pingable home made stuff would be good. Bugger I need to do the shopping online too.
I am taking bets on how long it’ll take me to crash and burn in spectacular fashion. Did I mention I’ve had (blessedly mild but still annoying) labyrinthitis the last few days. 🙄
