Actually, I’m not quite sure what passes for normal around here. Just as soon as we settle into some kind of pattern something changes. So for a while I’d been saying after Christmas or in January we’ll do… And then we got to January, Big changed swim groups which doubled her swimming time, Small went up a group so changed lesson time, and Smallest started swimming which has completely stuffed up Thursdays. And we’ve a Hillary next week, so there was no point in getting into any stable rhythm when it was all going to get thrown out then.
Hohum. I’ve got that feeling of running to stand still, but the reality of it is I’m wading through treacle and going backwards. I’m not nearly as launched as I wanted to be with my new projects, I’ve barely done any crafting and I’m treating it as a major achievement today that I managed to read a book I was supposed to read a month ago. Which at least means I’ve cleared the deck for the book I’ve got to read this week!
On the positive side of things, I am still keeping on top, just, of the housework in terms of cooking, washing and washing up. Though some days it is all I can do to manage those things! I need to rework our planned meals around the new swimming club sessions, though I was pleased I hadn’t planned this week as Big broke her braces on Tuesday night and we’ve been on soft food since. They were adjusted today, and it’s going really well. One more adjustment apparently, then it should just be fine tuning. Which means she’s running well under the two years originally predicted.
Decluttering has been rather neglected this week, but I’ve enlisted Big to give me a hand tomorrow, in the hope I can beat back the heap that is encroaching on my bedroom again.
Personal physical achievement of the day was walking Smallest down to her swimming lesson (dp was taking Big to orthodontist at the time) *and* swimming while she was swimming. However I may have overdone it slightly as my right leg is in that peculiar pre crampy state and I’ve a feeling I’ve a sleepless night of twitching ahead. And I could really do with the sleep 🙁
And with that I’m taking me and smallest to bed and hoping I can get her to sleep without it making me cry…
