Life is a Highway - it’s the journey, not the destination

after the weekend hasn’t been so easy. Saturday I was working and so that colours the day and means we don’t do much else, and Sunday I wasn’t feeling very well. I think it was some grapes that I ate while trying to not eat chocolate that did it, they didn’t quite taste right. Next time I’ll go for the chocolate So really James did most of the parenting at the weekend and it was a general lazy feel to it.

Yesterday I was still feeling a crummy and so decided against a jaunt to the other side of the city for a woodland activity day. A shame though as it was an absolutely gorgeous day and sounded fun. Next week though. The kids did manage to spend the whole day out in the garden though which was nice to see. They took a blanket and teddies and had the whole picnic thing going on, then decided to do some planting of some seeds. M made James a St Patricks Day card and we made some cakes.

We tried to do a food shop in the evening but the kids were being horrors, you’d have thought they’d been cooped up all day, so we just grabbed a few bits. I hate shopping on my own or I’d leave James with the kids. I really ought to get to grips with internet shopping!

Today has been a bit better but the sun has stayed away for most of it. I’ve done a few bits of decluttering and A has gone through all her clothes and sorted ut a huge pile of stuff she doesn’t want anymore which is great as she has so many. Just need to offload them somewhere now. Kids did their reading and maths, I rolled my eyes at A saying she couldn’t do her page which was asking you to count the sheep and then did some wii-fit and club penguin (st Patricks day goodies afaik which caused great excitement).

Went to the opticians this aft and chose some new glasses and had an almost teenager like strop when I couldn’t find any I liked But James perservered and I found some I should be able to pick up next week. We had a St Patricks day Simpsons binge and that’s been it. Feels a little light on the content though Ugh, should do better.
