Where does the time go....?

I have to start crossing chores and jobs off my list as time is running away from me
Last night in bed I told Mr P that I had so much stuff to do that I didn't know where to start...

he suggested that I start at the beginning... which is usually a good suggestion but I don't know where the beginning is anymore... I told him...

So he suggested I start with the most important thing...

my unspoken reply was

most important to whom!?

you see I have things that I need to get done for lots of other people.. not just myself or my family and those things rely on deadlines too...

Life is at times way to complicated..

I told my mum that I thought I wouldn't be able to do her friends garden anymore as its a big commitment and I don't even have time to tend to my own garden...
I received the "oh" reply tinged with disappointment...
when I could really have done with a "oh well never mind, I am sure she can find someone else"

I think I spend way too much time trying ot keep everyone else happy...
and I fear I am going to upset a few people when I tell them I cannot do it anymore..

True friends will accept and those that suck the life out of me will not be missed.. ;D

Well the half term holiday flew by but the weekend did start earlier for a change though...

Mr P finished work early on Friday and was home by 1pm...
and when I commented on "what shall we had for tea...?" he replied fish and chips... and I thought "oh no I don't want that..." then he finished his sentence with ... " at West Bay!"

well a trip to the seaside for fish and chips cannot and should not be missed so I rallied the kids and at 6pm when everyone else was coming home we headed out! lol

Saturday was spent scraping paint off and Sunday was spent putting fresh back on and I am happy to say that all painting is now complete ... the kitchen is once again covered in dust and there is stuff everywhere... which is driving me insane... but its just another job to add to the list.. ;D

Daniel and Jamie had fun in the new sandpit Sunday afternoon...

I think this was probably more Jamie than Daniel... but Daniel enjoyed playing "battle" and destroying it all with bombs...

and we downed tools at 4pm for tea and cakes with Mr P's mum and dad, they usually call in on a Sunday afternoon...

Then it was a mad dash to feed, water and bathe the children and us... and get the kids off to bed and for Mr P and I to chill out before bed... which ended up being midnight... I currently detest going to bed... I think its my futile attempt to make tomorrow not happen! lol

However I definitely suggest that you do something, like going out on a Friday evening... it makes it a much better weekend.. it takes the pressure off the weekend being something special as you have already had a trip out... plus come Saturday I felt sure it was Sunday and I still had a day left... lovely!

well I had better go and get ready to drop Daniel at Pre-school...

Happy Monday to you all and once I get back from Pre-school I have to sign write 2 Summer Fete advertising boards for the school that I have no children at.. hopefully the rain will hold off till lunchtime!
fingers crossed...

Take care
Alex
