Weekly Flylady Thread 17th January 2011

serena

I've had a yellow year - I love that coronilla and never got around to changing it. It's in flower in the garden at the moment, not much, but some. There's also winter jasmine around the kitchen window.

Busy day at work, but enjoyable. Next week, we have a late evening Monday, all day Tuesday performance review day for aprents and students. Then, Wednesday I support our GTP, and Thursday there's our faculty review when we get observed, and all the lesson plans have to be super duper all singing and dancing, containing so much information, thaat it takes all lesson to red them, so no time for teaching. I have forgotten to spend this week training and bribing my students to chant their current level and what they have to do to achieve the next, and I haven't got all my marking up to date *insert rude word of choice* so am unlikely to get more than satisfactory or good.

Home tomorrow, so will be flying all day, and planning lessons as well. DS1 cooked dinner, and has also done the washing up. DD's room looks immaculate. I'll yell at the boys over the weekend.:D

:bdaycake:Happy birthday poohbear!!:bdaycake:

dancemum - sending healing vibes for your mum.

lamewolf - ouch! Extremely gentle hugs for you!

Love and hugs, especially for toots, lady-liberty, and lamewolf.

I'm falling asleep, so think I'll go to bed....

Evening all

Been a busy day at work and then the usual run around in the evening. W has been to Wacky Warehouse with beavers and Miss A has been bellringing. I had coffee and a chat with friends before picking them up again afterwards!

Just skimmed the thread and love all the yellow avi's I have a sieve brain tonight so please take a hug/congrats/commiserations as required. That said the one post that jumped out was LW's :eek::eek::eek: hope you recover quickly.

Tomorrow is busy as well, Miss A has another water polo match, they won last week on her birthday so am hoping that the winning streak is with them and they have another good result.

Hi Everyone
Hope you don't mind me jumping in at this late stage but I have been inspired by Brighton Belle to join you all. I moved house in November and we aren't straight yet so I could do with a bit of a push to help get things shipshape around here.
I'm finding it difficult to get into a proper routine now OH has retired and is here under my feet all the time.
I'll start with tomorrow's list and see how I go

Just a quick post to say Happy Birthday to poohbear.

Flying - I have replaced a light bulb in my car so that I now have 2 working headlights! Hope that counts as flying!

:xmastree: Welcome aboard.

Had a pleasant evening with a friend round for a chat and a glass of wine with a couple of elderflower cupcakes.

Just need to finish off in the kitchen and head on up to bed x
