Morning all :hello:
I must try harder today, yesterday was just depressing.
So kids have been feed, DS2 is white as a sheet and half sleeping on top of his breakfast. I think he'll be in bed with a basin today.
WM and DW and TD all on, it's raining here at the minute. Most go sort the rest of the washing and lift some for the bathroom. Think i'll put DS2 to bed before he falls of the chair.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
hugs to your ds2 vanilla - there is lots going round at the moment......:jFlylady and proud of it:j0

Morning all,
Foreign students are deposited with packed lunches, ds2 about to be decluttered to the golf club and ds1 and I are off to buy a new blazer and then he's painting the new plaster in the porch. I shall do the bathroom (can't do the study as one of the bods is sleeping in there) and tackle our bedroom - which got skipped this week so far. Also need to check the washing situation for dh as he's off to Japan for a week.
Hope all is going well - it's odd having another two 14yo in the house - lots of teenage huffiness going on.“the princess jumped from the tower & she learned that she could fly all along. she never needed those wings.”
