Tuesday night is 'dance like a goose in your lounge room' at our place!!!!
So tonight is Tuesday night - I have finished working two full days, and am pretty well spent!!!
Darling Snag hubby is away in Samoa this week (high flyer I know, he has promised to take me with him one day!!!) and so I have to look after the cherubs on my own. As I've said to people beore, it's not a hard job looking after kids, I think the hardest thing is to be at their beck and call all the time, and not getting things done (as you know I have a fairly long list!) when I want to get them done. But that's ok, I can now dedicate the next two days and nights to doing things with and for them.
Wednesdays are usually spent around the house with Thomas, catching up on washing and cleaning, and Thursdays we go out and about - play group in the morning, shops or wherever we need to go in the afternoon. Of course there's never enough hours in the day on these 'days off' - I try to make a bit of an effort with tea, instead of the packet quick mixes that we have on the days we both work, and that usually takes time.
I ALWAYS make lists so that I know what as to be done (or maybe I just like feeling that little bit of accomplishment from the small things!?!!) and I try to make a bit of time for me to do something purely for me - whether it's scrapping, or reading a magazine, or painting, or even chilling out in the hammock with a cup of tea (or delicious chai latte!) I find that having even 10 minutes of me time can keep me going with the boys for another day!!!
When hubby gets home from this week away he'll be jetlagged on Saturday, then playing golf on Sunday, and then he'll be heading off again the next weekend............so I've arranged a girls movie night on Tuesday - gotta schedule me time when I can!!!!!
Anyway, thought I should just add some proper pickies of the boys - Thomas is 3 and Hayden is 5, and I know I'm biased, but I personally think that they are the most gorgeous boys I have ever see!!!!! I'll have to make sure that I write a few notes about each of them - it's quite funny how different two boys can be!!
Anyways - Home made is on, and I'm ADDICTED!!!! Chow for now!!!
Tuesday dance nights sound really fun.I so know what you mean about the me time thing,it is like a recharge for the next round.I love reading your blog its really happy.luv ya matey :)
