A long day..

Today has been a long day.

J decided it would be great fun to get up at 5am. Oh the joy.

So by 7am, I had built a lego city, written a cheque for L's school trip, made packed lunches, sorted some washing, written a shopping list, showered and dressed and completed 3 jigsaws. Is it bedtime yet??!!

By 8am had dragged L from bed, had breakfast, cleared up the lego city and jigsaws, put the breakfast things away and got J dressed ready to take L to school. This was completed by 8.30, then tidied kitchen before taking J to school.

I was picked up at 9.45 by my best bud to go with her to meet the florist for her wedding. Had a wonderful couple of hours looking at flowers and indulging in girly wedding chat. It was sheer bliss!! Then made a mad dash across town and into the village, narrowly missing a family of ducks who decided to nest in the middle of the lane, to collect my son from pre school.

So laden with indoor shoes, paintings a plenty and an easter basket overflowing with straw (some of which ended up in my hair) I managed to safely collect my son from school befor heading out to lunch with my friend. We hit the local pub, straw still in situ in my hair, where we ordered a lovely ploughmans and fish pie for J. It was divine and for once my son was an angel - yes you heard right he behaved in public wooooooooooohoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

We then decided to do battle with Tesco, not something I usually attempt with my son, but figured with my friend we could gang up against him should he start. In and out within 20 minutes, now that has to be some kind of record!!!! Sanity still intact and a hairstyle now strawless we headed for home. Spent a couple of hours mulling of more wedding plans whilst building train sets and doing the okie cokey!

Said goodbye to my friend as she made her escape, secretly wishing it was me escaping just for a fleeting moment. Ran around frantically tidying before the second of my best friends arrived for dinner. Pork escalopes in an onion and mustard sauce with new potatoes & a selection of freshly bought veggies. As per usual she was running late, so when she arrived, instead of me looking calm and in control I was red in the face disheveled hair with a smudge of mustard across my left breast. Classy bird me.

Needless to say dinner was yummy. Made her tidy up, well I had cooked! Dashed out to collect my daughter from her friends, before returning to say goodbye to my friend. Then hurrah time for bed for J! Read a million stories before heading up and he was asleep before his head even hit the pillow YaY!! Shoved yet another load in the washer then yay meeeeeeeeeee time!!!

And thats me for today, sat here typing this whilst watching some documentary about something that I have no clue about, but am just too lazy to find the remote control so guess I am stuck with it. Ah well it makes me look kinda clever I guess. Did get a phone call earlier to say hubby will be home this evening, but not until about midnight.
I somehow think I will be asleep by then.
Sweet dreams.xxxxxxxxxxxx
