Today has been one of those days where I seem to be working non stop, but not having anything to show for it, although the hallway is slowly starting to fill up so I must be getting somewhere!
The skies were blue and the sun was out, so I really wanted to make the most of it and take the Teens somewhere, or maybe go out with Hubby after lunch, as this is his last Friday afternoon with no Friday Club, his afternoons "off" are spent preparing for that usually, however although 75% of the work is done, 99.9% of my energy has gone!
Going on holiday is always lovely, and when you are going to stay with family its even better, but when you have animals to leave behind there is always so much preparation to be done.
Teen Two takes care of most of it, but I have to ensure there is sufficient food, bedding, cleaning products etc, then notes left for Grandma who comes and stays with the animals when we are away.
With the animals organised, several loads of laundry done, the cases half packed, it was time for the most important thing....projects to take with me!
FQ2FF will appreciate the sheer fear of going away with not enough to do!
To have time on your hands to do something constructive and not have anything with you is the stuff nightmares are made of!
When Hubby came home, he got on with one of the jobs I had been trying to get to all day, cutting the grass.
The Teens sorted out their clothes/personal bits and bobs, and I made a big note saying
SCONES!
which has been placed in the kitchen by the kettle to remind me not to forget to take them to the wedding tomorrow!
A quick trip to Tesco to get some essentials to have in the house for our return, then it was back to the packing, and now time to think about dinner.
With the skies still blue, maybe we will make a quick drive out after dinner to blow the cobwebs away.
