Evening Nearly

Busy day today, got lots organised for the big day. A NSD. Smalls had a good day at school and come home happy Just tomorrow to go!

They all want pasta in one form or another for dinner so that is what they are currently eating. Five minutes peace Then bath and bedtime.

Have cashed out on VO for argos and have ordered a board game for the 3 of them to share (Still counting as a NSD as was £10 gift vouchers and the game was £10 ). Will collect that why I'm over at the vets tomorrow.

Tomorrow's list is going to be impossible at this rate

Need to think about feeding myself something at some point and have to iron the uniform.

Hope you've all had a lovely day.


P.s Still raining :cool:

Make sure you get something to eat it's so easy to forget our own needs when we have little ones xx

Hope tomorrow it stops raining - for me too - really slows me down when I've got umbrellas and puddles to deal with.

About tomorrow's list... what gets done, gets done. The rest is obviously misplaced from some future list. I have a lot of lists like that. It just goes to prove they have a life of their own.

Hope you sleep well and tomorrow goes smoothly.

Oh I can't sleep for lists going through my head. It makes me really anxious having to go in to town I know that ridiculous.

Its nearly time to get up soon anyway so going to make a fresh cuppa and watch an Xmas movie on netfl1x any excuse :rotfl:

My approach to this stress might work for you WannabeFree

My lists are a page per subject as it lets me partition the areas of pressure into little compartments in my head. Just a page per subject. Any list gets one or two things crossed off a day. If the list is longer than a page, I stick it in order of priority and set up parking lot lists of the nagging things I must not forget but can be undertaken in the longer term.

This approach, with a pen and paper to write down the bits in my head let me get it out of my head and go back to sleep - it might not stop it waking me up but it does let it go. It really helps me. It might help you.

I also do this little thing to empty my head - you could try this

I agree with Suffolk Lass, once I've written something down it's a weight off my mind and even if I have to get out of bed to do it, it's worth the effort

Try to think of going into town as a positive - it will be a productive trip where things will get done and they won't be on your mind any more. Have you got a list of what you need and an order of shops to go to so that you don't need to spend any more time there than is necessary. Promise yourself a nice cup of coffee and a film when you get home as a reward for doing it.

Hope the DC's have a lovely last day at school and that your trip to town goes well. xx
