Lists for the Slatternly - May edition

[TrillianAstra]

Okay, I am clearly worrying way too much about this but there are only a few spaces left in the old thread!

(What do I think will happen if we finish without a new list? We'll just make a new one. Relax woman!)

Thanks to alicecrail for the title.

Please finish the old thread before starting on this one - there could be a prize if you are number 1000.

I am giving in today totally knackered and feel crap .

All dd's in bad moods and dd2 is laid in hallway screaming and has been for 20 mins now .

DD4 threw a tantrum from the second she got out of nursery until we got home.

Hope all you other slatterns are having a better day .

Having a weird day here CWWM, all the kids didnt go to school because of the mass and having my relatives about (some they dont see very often). Still had to collect DN from school though, want to lie down and go asleep as I feel as if I have done 2 days in 1. Plus DD3 is running round in iggle peggle pjs, that I had ordered for a friends DS but when they arrived this morning, she fell in love with them and wont take them off even though its quite obvious they are boys

CC my dd has a pair of dr who boy pj's .

It is like you say a weird day just feel drained and detached from it all .

Well done TRINITY,
Mass went ok CWWM, DD3 calls it kellys mass as DD1 normally sings with the kids choir, so she kept saying Ks mass, K not singing, sing K. Then got into a strop at communion time cause she didnt get any!

Well done trinity .
Glad it all went ok CC. Clairey sorry you are having a bad day too .

Must be something in the air, at toddlers loads of the kids were in a fighting mood and all the mums were weary and having a bad day!

I suppose I haven't done too badly but there was loads more on my list that I had planned to do (eg declutter the rest of the rooms, sort out my wardrobe, go through the dc's clothes etc) but with ds not napping and whinging all day and having to replant all that stuff I had to reconsider. Need to focus on the dones, not on the what I wanted to do's

Chips with curry sauce sounds like a good dinner to me

They all enjoyed their chips with curry sauce, all came back for seconds!

Did you go a bit lightheaded from the fumes TA .

JKS how did the MRI go ?

Argh. No internet yesterday so will need to catch up...
Will read the thread. Back in a bit.

Yes that's it, I will blame the fumes making me lightheaded for my driving off with the plant to go on DP's desk but without the tools needed to get the wheel off his bike and therefore his bike in the car. [grin

Was a bit scary as it's the first time I've driven on my own since starting driving again, before there's always been someone there.

Now puncture is fixed so we can go out, once DP stops faffing.

Hope MRI was helpful JKS.

Right. Got sum total of nothing done yesterday as ended up walking up massive hill with DH and DS (who loved it), which was nice but didn't get back til after DS's bedtime and it threw everything out. DS was exhausted though which is always good of an evening.

Hope everyone's day is improving.
