Weekly Flylady Thread 14th July 2008

shell2001

Right kiddies both sat watching Max n Ruby with an ice-lolly - ahhh silence.

I will do the 10 min declutter in my bedroom then make the sausage rolls for tea/freezer.

The little steam I had has run out me thinks.

Oh checked at school and they have approved DD1 missing the last 2 days of term - only problem is they are not telling anyone who their teacher will be till the Monday and we will not be here. I need to know which classroom to take her to next September. Oh well!!

Lets see what the rest of the week looks like.

Wednesday - nothing planned just usual pick up/drop off routine.
Thursday - DD2 end of term party and then at lunch club, Interview for me, collect DD2 and then go get her trainers, some fake flowers for DD1 "spanish" costume on Friday and dog treats to take to Mums 10 dogs!! DD1 at friends for tea
Friday - Passport day (hopefully - but they did state guaranteed), DD2 graduation from Nursery, DD1 international day/party (make cakes to take in), collect everything from DD1 school.
Saturday - Corporate event at Newmarket Races with DH & Company Directors. Drop littles off for sleepover at Nannies.
Sunday - Collect littles, last minute packing. Washing & ironing up to date.

Phew - So tomorrow is my catch up day by the looks of it. I have got my outfit for Saturday but my trousers are more than a bit baggy now. I have a skirt that matches the jacket too but my legs are lilly white - must get some of that dove tinted stuff.

cant but I do have some cold stella in the fridge?

RANT ALERT
rubbish day - dropped boys at holiday club today, first child we see is the one we have the bullying problem with - he is booked in full time all summer. By the time I had dropped DS2 off, DS1 was in tears becase bully had said something mean to him. When I was collecting the boys bully was pushing another child over. I had everything planned, and now I feel guilty about leaving him there, and I need to find alternate childcare asap. Nursery are promising to deal with the issues, and are saying that by taking DS1 out of nursery I am avoiding the issue, and denying them the chance to sort it. I don't care about nursery or the bully and I do not want my 5yo used as a tool to improve someone elses behaviour. and I am not sure I can restrain myself from strangling someone elses child.

Need to find something for tea, Asda managed to mess up my first home delivery so we have no fresh food at all for tonight which is a pain. At least it is easy to clean the kitchen with empty shelves .

pigpen

shell.. is there another mum who could let you know or could OH go up to school and check? Or maybe they'll be able to pop it in the post to let you know.. though I don't see why they can't tell you on Friday given the circumstances they must have already sorted it out

pigpen

Had a 5 minute chat with hubby... before I cried with sheer frustration.. lol.. I am about ok now.. need to get dinner done though.. and wake tiddles up or she'll never go to bed.. again!

and the bloody rabbit is trying to hump everything in sight again

I have just spend over an hour paper sorting/filing and I still dont seem to have made inroads!!

pigpen -:eek: :eek: :eek: dont do things which wriggle very brave of you to tackle it.

shell - is there another parent who could find out for you or would your current teacher be able to tell you on the QT on friday pick up time.

hex - go with your gut feeling re the bully if you really feel that you will be able to enjoy your time while the boys are at the club then maybe keep them there however if you are constantly worrying about them is it worth it.

Off to make tea and then tackle the kitchen will find my list and update later.

Hiya
How's everyone....i'll catch up on the thread this evening. I've had one of those lovely viruses that made the world spin rather a lot so have spent 4 days in bed throwing up whenever I moved. Delightful. Still feel like the floor is moving but much better.

Hugs to all that need them especially Hev regarding bullying issue. I'm having this exact problem with DS who's going into year 3. After numerous letters and meeting the head can't assure me my DS is safe but assures me that WHEN this child does something to someone in the class he'll be dealt. Erm....not acceptable! I hope you get something sorted soon.

Hugs and hellos to everyone else xx
