So much to do ~ so little time!!

I am back home ~ back to work ~ back to having 3million things that need doing and not enough time to get it all done!!

Yesterday was a day of getting things sorted out, unpacking the bags ~ washing, washing and a little bit more washing. I put all the washing on the line and promptly 10 minutes later it started to rain ~ so in it all came and on went the tumble dryer!!

There was so much mail sitting on the floor when we got home that it was a struggle to get in the front door and opening and sorting it all was a job in itself ~ it is all done now ~ all dealt with or filed!! I love getting mail ~ I like walking in the front door and seeing it on the mat and wondering what it is (usually a bill ~ but hey ~ it's still mail!!)...

We took the library books back yesterday and the children joined the Team Read project. It is basically to encourage children to go to the library and to read. When they join, they get a poster ~ which has an olympic theme ~ they have to read six books in total and come back to the library and fill out a part on the poster about what they liked about each book ~ then they get a sticker for each book they have read. When they have all 6 stickers, they get a certificate and a medal to say they have completed the Team Read. Dan and Lauren took out 3 books yesterday ~ which they have been sitting reading like good little students ha ha !! I will take them back on Saturday to get them changed and then they will have their first 3 stickers!! They have done this kind of thing at the Library in previous years ~ so they already have several certificates and medals.

I have nearly finished reading Twilight now ~ there are only about 10 pages left ~ it has taken me so long to read it ~ I just don't seem to get the time at the moment and I wanted to get it finished last night ~ so I could go on to the next one ~ but I was so tired that I couldn't do the last 10 pages ~ it will be finished tonight (even if I have to put match sticks in my eyes to keep them open ha ha ha !!). I am totally loving the Twilight series so far ~ thanks Kat for introducing me to them ~ I am addicted now!!

Lauren was being nasty to her Brother yesterday ~ they often have their little niggles with each other!! She wouldn't let him look at the book she was reading (and kept teasing Daniel about the pictures before hiding the book from him!!). Daniel got fed up in the end and told Lauren that she was being Selfish...............I nearly died laughing when she came shooting out of the bedroom shouting " Mummmmmmmm Daniel said i'm a shelfish!!!!" She nearly got it right I suppose!!

Well, I don't have alot planned for today. I am back to work ~ although I only have the little boy that I look after today ~ as the little girl is still on holiday!! The weather is awful and it is actually really grey and dark outside ~ even though it is now 9am!! We have lots of craft stuff ~ so that will probably be the project for today!!

Well ~ off to put the kettle on now ~ I feel the need for a morning cup of coffee!!
It is weigh in day tomorrow and I am dreading it ~ I have not had a bad week ~ but I haven't exactly stuck to the plan rigidly either ~ and my total exercise for last week was a big huge ZERO!! Oh well ~ I can only wait and see!! XXX
