hi all,

sorry to not reply individually but DS2 is still not too well nose streaming and has now developed a cough too. DH left early this morning and will be away until friday. I am now officially shattered.
Kids are in bed but how long for is anyones guess.

Am also feeling a bit down as I got back a mark for one of my assignment I submitted last week and am a bit dissapointed plus I now cannot finish the assignment that I had due this week as there are not enough hours in the day to deal with that and take care of dc's

DW unload reload done
load of washing done
ironing half done
kitchen done
entertain poorly ds tried

Hey ladies
Just eaten chocolate first time in a month! Can't believe how sweet it is.
Lovely restful yoga tonight.
I'm off for a bath and early bed. Bedroom is a state though and DH just painted a wall in there
See you all tomorrow

Well I had that Red Bull and it got me through the whole rest of the day! It works if you only have one when you are desperate, but I tried drinking them every day once and it stopped working but stopped me sleeping as well.

I managed to achieve a few things!:

-deliver/collect DCs from school at their different times
-flute lesson
-teaching (more like fighting with) DS to change from school uniform to play clothes for when he has to do it for PE
-lunch for me and DS
-dishwasher
-iron DH shirt
-empty bin
-take DCs to ballet
-'entertain' DS while DD in ballet lesson with plastic centipedes/spiders/snakes/ants and a packet of fruit flakes
-make bangers, mash, veg, and onion gravy

I really need to sleep tonight after last night so will try to force myself to go to bed early instead of messing around on laptop

Hi all Just popped in to keep in the loop.
Can't reply to all but, I'm amazed at how much you lot get done in a day!
Ds was so tired when DH and myself got in Mum had already given him a bath and put his PJ's on. I take back all the nasty things I've ever said about her.
Leo hope LO gets better soon and you get some rest. Wolf & Swan you too! Look after yourselves.
scattyspice Love 'my legs are bored'
Very heavy day at work glad to be home.
Cheated on dinner for DH burgers & Mum's Cauliflower cheese. I'm not hungry.
Going to put some washing on and prepare a paper list for tomorrow.
Had to swap lots of days around at work not sure Mum will be happy. have a 6am start next week can't imagine how we are going to drop off Ds when we don't know anyone yet to help!
My feet are bored now after a day at work Going to soak and pamper them then go to bed
Sweet dreams, sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite. (of course not that was mission 3 in week 6 I'm sure)

"spannerred" what a fab phrase Grouchy!
Did: ds2 homework

Did: Open Eve - Secondary school too oversubscribed for us I fear, and a bit of a beehive. But quite amazing really [sob] art music latin..sculpture even.
These school tours are v. wearing - only another four schools to go (this year) Dh is ripping the religious enquiry form to shreds as I speak as he is so disgusted by the "offensive questions" on it.

Now to return to the task of moving things from ds1's room pre-painting.
Off to see physio miles away first thing too so dh is doing morning school drop-off.

Goodnight all - in the hope that everyone will awake de-grumpified.
