Yesterday I misplaced most of the day. So today I’m going to make some notes as I go to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.
First alarm 7.30 – ignored. Ahem.
Second alarm 8.00. Got up and spent a minute or two staring at social media, then staggered into kitchen – kettle on and did a heap of washing up, fed the cat. Sat down at laptop at 8.28, couple of minutes disappear waiting for it and various websites to respond.
Spend 30 minutes or so working on a website and reading articles about menu locations, while fending two small children through breakfast. Toast today. Although obviously they didn’t tell me that at the same time, so I do two slices individually.
Take a break at 9.15 to go and wake up teen.
Now well into website work. While wrangling two very stressy small children. They’re both a bit under the weather and not nearly as patient with each other as they often are. It would also be a lot easier to work online if the wifi didn’t keep dropping out.
10.45 break to answer phone – a marketing call that I can’t deal with while I’m being screamed at :/
Still working on website. And browsing twitter and facebook and I’ve just realised it is nearly lunchtime and I haven’t bought Tim any bread because shopping was in plan for this morning but I forgot while doing web stuff. Gah. I need a visual planner.
So we fed on what bread was around, then Tim took the boys for a haircut. Smallest did Lego, and word searches and drawing, anything to sit at the table with me without ever reading a book like I suggested. And eventually I put the Learning begins in wonder website live.
There was more tweeting and Facebook, and housework (it’s a bit never ending with 6 people) and I took part in homeedhour on Twitter briefly while making pizza. Tim had taken Big to karate, and I sat the little ones down to their pizza before they were back, then eventually we were all at the table eating.
The after dinner routine currently involves picture book advent and we looked at the Snowman, which obviously made Smallest cry, though she was OK by the time Tim sang to them. And now I’ve distributed washing around the radiators I. The hope we’ll have dry clothes by the morning, I’ve done my drawing for illo advent and I’m heading for bed.
