Busy Days!!

This weekend has just flown by and yet again it is Sunday night and I don't feel like I have had a break at all (story of my life lol!!!).
Saturday was the usual ~ dancing,(For Lauren ~ not me ha ha!!) cleaning, washing, ironing etc etc.....and today has been much the same. Dan was at Judo until 11.30am, so Lauren and I had a little bit of girly time together, during which she tried (and failed!!) to convince me that she needs YET ANOTHER! Hannah Montanna outfit (believe me she has about 300 already!!).
This afternoon I took the children swimming, they both do swimming lessons at school and it is amazing how good they have both got, Lauren is not confident swimming without a float (or one of the noodles!! ~ as she calls it!!), but Daniel is very confident and spent the whole time doing back stroke!!

I have since bathed the pair of them, made them a snack and they are tucked up in bed ~ no such luxury for me, I now have to iron the uniforms and make the school lunches and sort the place out for when the children arrive tomorrow......then I am going to collapse on the sofa and watch the latest episode of Desperate Housewives (my absolute favourite!!) ~ as apparently there is a tornado in this episode...so alot of drama and I read somewhere that someone dies (I don't want anybody to go!!!!)~ yes I know it is sad getting so involved in a TV programme, but I have loved it from the start!!

A quick update also on the little boy that I look after that was ill. He was quite poorly on Friday and yesterday, with a high temperature and being sick and then developed a rash (which I was a bit concerned to hear!). Anyway, his parents took him to the emergency doctors, who said it was just a virus etc etc (the usual!!), but today he has come out in more spots and he has chickenpox!! Luckily Daniel and Lauren have both had them (quite badly), so hopefulyy won't get them again, but the little girl I look after hasn't, so it may be that she will come down with it too. Anyway, I will not be having him this week, but obviously I will check in with his Mum and Dad to see how he is.

I hope that everyone had a nice weekend, and had some time to relax!!
I am off now to start the ironing before indulging myself with a bit of life on Wisteria Lane!!

I've just ironed the school uniforms too! Sorry to heat that the little boy has the chicken pox. But better to get it young. Hope he's not too ill with it though. I read on the internet that in America they vaccinate children against it. Good thing i think. Ben was really ill with it.
Hope you enjoy DH. I started watching it, but then i gave birth to Callum and totally lost the plot after that! Must get the box set. Whatever was in that box/coffin in season 1? never did get far enough to find out!

Have a nice night infront of the telly!

Love Amanda xx

i don't know if you've already watched the tornado eppy or not, but it is one of the best of the season!!!
i know your weekend has flown; but i hope you've enjoyed it all the same. i still cannot believe it's warm enough to swim there, tabitha.
we haven't even opened our pool yet. i looked under the cover yesterday; and the water temp was 54 degrees (f)... BRRRRRRR!!! i'm such a woosie, i don't like to get in unless it is at least 80-85 degrees!!!
love and hugs,

dani said...

Hi Dani,
I am watching it at the moment, and the tornado hasn't struck yet!!
It wasn't actually that hot today ~ we went to an indoor pool at the leisure centre!!
I am hoping that we don't have anymore sick around here ~ I had enough of that last week!!
Have a nice evening,
love and hugs, Tabitha XXX

A mum's work is never done. it always feels like once you've finished one job, the next is waiting to be done. Sounds like you have been rushed of your feet all weekend Tabitha. I hope that a bit of time for yourself is just around the corner.

I hope the little boy with chicken pox recovers quickly and I sure do hope it doesn't spread to everyone else. Sav just had her chickenpox injection (done at 18 months here in Australia).

Happy Monday to you Tabitha.

Love and hugs
Elise

Hi Kellan,
I look forward to the weekends so I can relax, but then I spend the whole time rushing around and it ends up more stressful than in the week!!
Hope you are well.
love and hugs,

Hi Amanda,
I know that it was a woman and it had something to do with a secret that Mary Alice had (the one who killed herself at the start!!), but I can't think who it was and to try and tell all the intricate stories connected to it would take me ages (ha ha!!). Sorry I am not more usefull lol!!
love and hugs, Tabitha XX

Tabitha said...

Hi Elise,
My weekends are always like that and to be truthfull, I would probably moan if I had nothing to do (ha ha).
The little lad with the chicken pox is ok, and no one else seems to have come down with it yet!!
They don't vaccinate against chickenpox over here, I don't know why!!
Love and hugs, Tabitha XX

Tabitha said...

Oh Dani!!
I cannot wait to see that episode, last nights was great and left you wondering who was alive and who dead!!
I don't know how far away we are from the season finale, but I have to wait for next Sunday for the second part of the tornado story!!
Hope your day is going well,
love and hugs, Tabitha XXX

I will treat myself to the box set, got some birthday money left over:-)

There really should be more non-iron clothes out there, shouldn't there? Now that would save us mothers some time!
