No time to clean the MESS!

Just a quicky tonight. I still haven't finished yesterday's post! Or Sunday's! I love blogging, but finding the time to do it is hard. Especially with tiny ones around! I was absolutely shattered this morning. Lills woke up at 4.30am for a feed also putting Ethan back in his own bed and then woke again for another feed at 7.00am. I suppose it doesn't help getting to bed after midnight!

I took Jared to the bus station to get to uni. In the mad rush, i only had time to get myself ready, leaving Ethan and Lily in their jammies. Ethan was really upset, he wanted to get dressed! Cheryl had text me to ask if i was going to playgroup, so i got home and got the kiddies ready. Lills just looks to cute after coming out of the bath;

 

Ethan had a great time and Lills slept for most of it. By the time i got home, i only managed to do 20 minutes of room sorting before getting lunch and doing the school run. No resistance from Ethan today :) Huzzah! My Patriachal blessing came today too, wahoooo! I have been desperate to read it again, my copy got lost in one of the house moves.

The house is an absoute mess still. I desperately want to sort it - the OCD in me is screaming so loud right now. I managed to do a little, but Lills is a little fractious from her jabs yesterday. I also shoved a quick casserole in the slow cooker. Who ever bought me that for a wedding gift is awesome.

Ethan came home from school incident free, yey! I wasn't home long before i had to nip out to pick up Jared. The house is still unbelievably messy. We had tea, Jared had Lills so i could carry on with the bedroom. We then went home teaching to Chaise and Sarah Murphy's house to see how they are doing. We are going for dinner next Wednesday. They are a lovely couple - she is expecting her first baby in February and it's a girl!

Peter and Pauline came up afterward to read my Patriachal blessing with us. It's such a massive comfort, especially at this time in our life. They watched some kayaking DVD's while i went back upstairs to sort out the devastation in the bedroom. After a few hours, i managed to restore order again. I have got several boxes of stuff to sell on ebay now too. I managed to clear lots of my clothing out. I imagine when i'm back in shape i can do another clear out again. It is quite liberating!

Anyway, it's almost midnight, i have plenty of packing to do and cleaning before i head up to Telford. Let's hope i get it all done in time!

Lily looking up at me at 11pm, still wide awake!;

Odd Job Day.

Today is the odd job day. I have ebay stuff to post today, washing to do, house cleaning, blog catching up, hand washing a dress, unpacking...etc. A bit of a boring day ahead really.

After packaging up my ebay items Ethan and i started to get ready to walk over the Winch to the post office. Poor little chimps is still feeling poorly and threw a wobbley at having to wear a coat;

He did chirp up as we started walking, we saw a doggy and a woman training a horse;

It was quite a walk over, but the view is beautiful;

When we got in, Ethan had some lunch, i popped a movie on for him and i finished off my blogging. I had missed a few days and needed to catch up desperately! It feels so much better to know I'm on top of it. When i came downstairs, it had obviously been a long day for chimps;

He slept there for a little while - i still had stuff to do and i know that if lifted him he would wake up. Jared came home, i made dinner and then we headed up to Peter and Pauline's for a bit. Ethan managed to coax us all up to the attic to watch The Grinch. It's such a funny movie! After that we headed home and put Ethan to bed and i continued on getting the house straight. It was a real mess earlier today;

I really know how to live it up.
