Just another day
Nothing very exciting today really - just an average day in my life:
Up at 6am to send Aggie off & feed LMD, get the other two up at 7am, sort out breakfast, get them dressed. Suddenly remember it's "festive Friday" at Mstr A's school & whip up some "christmassy" clothes out of tinsel & baubles - then the same for LMB who wanted to be "just like my bruvva". Off to school at 8.20, ready to do Wake Up shape Up at 8.30. Get nabbed by teacher for some work related stuff so promise to get a load of info sorted out by Monday, rush straight off to Daycare. Drop off LMB & LMD & make it back home just before 9am.
Dump the pram, pick up the car & drive off to Exeter for a meeting. It's a policy meeting to decide what/who should be involved in a new group and when/how. Balance the need to be involved in the new County Sports Partnerships being formed, with the fact that I only work two days a week and have at least 4 CSP's to be involved with, along with 16 Specialist Sports Colleges, dozens of local authorities, hundreds of clubs and thousends of schools.
Grab a sandwhich to eat in the car & head home. Discuss my sisters job offer on the way & agree it's not the right one for her (I have a hands free - don't worry). Arrive home at 3.18pm. Dump car, grab pram & run to school to pick up mstr A (he finishes at 3.20pm), then round to Daycare for LMB & LMD. Get home, feed kids a snack. Put cream on grazed knees. Send a fax to the exam venue for Sunday.
Aggie comes home, we all go out to eat cos we feel like being cheered up. Drag all the kids out, eat, drag all the kids back, get them changed into pyjama's, LMB's teeth cleaned & face washed, story read, water provided, cuddled, kissed, cuddly toyed & put to bed. Repeat for Mstr A. Change & feed LMD until (eventually) she falls asleep (I know it's not good practise to feed her to sleep, but....). Put her in bed. Sit down. Pick up answerphone messages. Sort out panicy candidates for exam on Sunday.
7.45pm relax, blog, watch TV, think about doing some college work. Nah, I'm only two assignments behind:-)
A good day.

Jean Luc - this was a quiet day - no real stress or juggling required:-)
Carol - doing what? squeezing in too much in a day? since having kids.
Craig - not balls no. I can barely throw & catch one, being borderline dyspraxic.
LGonE - spellchecker? no such thing on blogger. I'm used to reading & writing dylexic type:-)
Nov Rain - see my reply to Jean Luc:-)

CQ - Mstr A was running backwards down the road, pulling faces at LMD, when he fell down the curb
When I stopped laughing, I told him off for not looking where he was going!
He tried hopping all the way home, but finally gave up & limped & whinged for a couple of metres, before forgeting how much it hurt & running after a pideon:-)
When we got home, LMB reminded him that he had hurt his knee & needed cream to make it better, so out came the germaline - it was slightly red. When LMB complains that she hurts, she usually gets mosturiser rubbed in, but if there is something to see, germaline can't hurt!
He was delighted & ran off to play some more.

So-called average days are actually extraordinary. Every day, as you've so aptly noted, is special. I'm glad we were able to get a glimpse.
I'm back from Michele's for another fun weekend of words and thoughts. Looking forward to reading more.

Hey, sounds like you've got everything under control :)
I won't ask how you do it because I remember well, it's impossible!

Holy juggling fest, Mrs. Aginoth!
Hey, when's the last time you had a vacation? I'm thinking I need one after reading your post. (grin) And here I thought that I had a busy day. Not so, I tell ya now ... not so.
'Course, my day was just busy enough to make my visit here a late one. I wanted to stop by this morning and possibly share a cup of coffee with ya. Do you drink coffee? If not, I have a variety of tea as well. Chamomile, Green, Oolong ... (grin) ... Tension Tamer by Bigelow... just to name a few. So, pick your poison and I'll have a hot cup waiting for ya. (smile)
Oh, um ... you know I didn't really mean poison right? Heh.
So wow! You're in the United Kingdom ... that's so cool. How on earth did you happen across my blog?
Yours is so very ... pink. You must be a friendly sort. (smile) I do believe I read somewhere that people who like the color pink are generally friendly folk.
I shall endeavor to discover as I scroll on down your blog.
Have a great weekend!
See ya again soon,
~ Stacy ~
