Me too Redo, , i love school holidays :TDrawingaline wrote: »I assume your son didn't get much sleep then, hubby came to bed at 4.30am once the Superbowl had finished! He always books the Monday after off work.
Last night he told me they went to bed about one? this morning (having seen your post - thanks for the heads up;)), I asked him what time he went to bed and he said about 2 to 2.30. Then I repeated the question and asked what time truthfully did you go to bed and he said about 3.30....I left it at that:rotfl: I knew he hadn't slept much because he went to bed at 8pm:rotfl:

Morning
Off to part time work soon.
Didn't really make the most of the 3 hours I should have had this morning as was late back from school run, DS was on go slow (Sunday night catching up no doubt) so I lost about 40 minutes as traffic then builds up and its stop start all the way. Car never really warmed up - it was -2 deg C. Hands were like blocks of ice even though I had gloves on, so I never really got going.
Have done odds and ends though just pottering and clearing up.
Did a 10 minute session on x-trainer, aiming to do that at least once a day , twice if I can. Not much but better than nothing.
the new voluntary work I ve started dabbling in is frustrating - people say they are going to do things and then don't - really annoying as I just want to get things moving and I can't do the next bit until they have done their bit - trying to share responsibility with others who have come forward to help - but it would have been quicker just to do it myself:mad: Not the team spirit I know, but :mad:nevertheless.
Have a good day everyone

Thanks try harder and Cherry
Same again today, 3 hours at home and then out to work. It's beautiful out but even colder than yesterday.
This morning aiming to get downstairs tidied in readiness for DS to hoover at weekend, I have volunteer work on Saturday morning, DS has his driving theory test :eek: touch and go if he passes - he hasn't had any driving lessons yet so sometimes he misses things that are obvious once you start driving. Fingers crossed. Then am gong to see mum so that's the weekend gone.
Am sick of feeling yuck all the time. there are so many ongoing things that it seems pointless to even mention to dr now as nothing seems to make a difference. I know when it gets on top of me because I have a tantrum at DS when he asks to go to yet another party :rotfl: and avoid seeing people because everything they say gets on my nerves :rotfl:
Off to clear the dining table (should only take 5mins) and pick up everything everyone has left lying around and have been stepping over rather for the last 1-2 weeks.
Have a lovely day:)
