The babies had a good day and I did in patches, but overall I'd say about a 4/5 out of 10. To be honest, one of the worst weekend days I've had in a long while. The primary reason? Mismatched expectations. The day did not go how I wanted or expected it to and next year I will be even more firm and clear.
We've already had 4 sets of gifts and I had to do some reorganising this morning to accommodate those.
2. I got a bee in my bonnet and so at 5:30 this afternoon when I got home (btw, the worst of winter is over because it's only getting dark close to 6) I moved furniture around the house. I swopped the wicker drawer sets in the bathroom and study which means the study is still mostly a mess.
I'm not done yet - I want the bookshelf our of our bedroom and in the sunroom/ entrance area and the chair from the study in the bedroom.
The problem with me and all this shifting around is I have no spatial giftedness :) I only know if I like something if I see it in its intended position so if it doesn't look right, it's got to be moved again. Imagine how popular I am with D.
3. Today Connor put me in time-out for saying, "oh cr*p". He's right... but to explain, he was on the loo and when I went to check on him, there was toothpaste ALL over his pants.
He woke up coughing terribly so I stayed home from church with him while the other two went.
We then swopped babies (!) and I took Kendra to this party.
Of course we got lost - honestly I just decided this is just my thing. I had the navigation thing on the iPad, I'd google-mapped it and STILL I got lost. When we got to Kyalami I figured we were lost.
Me Baby, we're LOST.
Kendra What does lost mean?
Me It's when I don't know where we are and how to get to where we're meant to be. So if I can't figure it out, we're going to have to go home.
Kendra NOOOO! Mummy, we will find the way. Don't worry.
(my little encourager is very cute, but do you think she was motivated by the sweets? She had one marshmallow, one jelly worm and a 3 X 2 cm block of chocolate cake, a meatball, chicken kebab and a tomato :))
We phoned my friend and apparently I drove right by the place so we retraced steps and found it. Thank God.
And so ends another weekend.
The title of this post is the song running through my head at the moment.
What's the song running through your head?
How was your weekend?
PS Also, seriously, are there no Seinfeld fans who read this blog? I'm slightly aghast!
