Madness on a Monday
Before I get to Monday let me just say we spontaneously decided to head to Mcgregor on Saturday morning - it was awesome. The weather was scorching and we just hung out with the parentals, swam, slept, watched movies when it got too hot and c.h.i.l.l.e.d out.
But Monday whacked me over the head big time.
Started out with a post-op trip to the specialist for Hooli. I drove into town (45min) looked for parking, missioned and waited in his office and when we got to see him ....he high-fived my boy and ripped the plaster off and sent us home. About 45 seconds of action. Seriously? I could have gone to my gp down the road for that. (not that he is charging me BUT MY TIME, oh dear)
While I was missioning in town with Hooli I managed to forget that I was on library lifts for Lulu's class today. The very FIRST library outing for the Grade 1's. The MOST important day because they were all going to choose their VERY FIRST readers. :-( Apparently they were all lined up waiting for the library mommies to arrive, busting with excitement but to no avail....yes...the other mommy forgot aswell. Horrors.
This afternoon was a bit of a travesty aswell with the man needing a lift home as he was dropping off his car for service. What should have been a 15min trip (at 4pm with 3 hot, grumpy kids) turned into an hour round trip with mad traffic.
Upon returning home at 5pm I had to face a school family tree project that was sposed to be done this weekend. (did i mention i dont believe in weekend homework?) so we got into it today. Honey has her mind made up about everthing. She wanted uncles, aunts, cousins, dogs and rabbits on her tree. (not really but you get my drift) . It turned into a bit of a war and I am very ashamed to say I literally threw my hands up in the air and passed a rather infantile comment her way and stormed upstairs. :-(
bleh. And to top it all off I didnt get to Pick n Pay, thank God my man had an evening work appointment and offered to do the shopping en route.
Can NOT wait to hit the couch. With remote in hand. A bit of Greys will go down well!

Mind mind just isn't with me today!
I totally get that...will give you notes on having a learner driver from the 29th of March.
Glad you chilled this weekend, it has been cooler this side the last 5 days so I am coping so much better.
We have an afrikaans book report due Friday - 80 pages...I can't even find the library cards and did you get the 80 PAGES?
Weekend homework is the pits. But if it's a project and is given timeously (which they usually are) you can get to do them during the week. the prob is our kidlets forget to tell us until the evening before it's due.
