evreything has slipped over the past few months. obviously being poorly for a few weeks didn’t help but things were already well out of control by then. So I need to get a grip on life.
I need to find the floor, a need complicated by duke deciding to empty out his "office" a few weeks ago as he wants to get rid of the unspeakably vile wallpaper in there and the almost as unspeakably vile carpet in favour of plain painted walls and laminate. naturally he emptied everything all over the house and only now he has filled the house is he dumping the final few boxs into the garage. It’s not making housework any easier you know….. but at least I can get to his window to clean it!
I need to catch up on OU work and get my next TMA in by 1st April (and sadly, no that’s not a joke…) and I need to get back to doing regular "school" so we can keep a bit of momentum going with that, she is expressing a desire to be able to read and that’s not going to happen if I don’t keep regularly chipping away at it. Not to mention it’s hard to keep a grip of the flow of history from the year dot if there are huge gaps in between the bits!
But first I need to find my energy and enthusiasm. I’m sure I have some but I’m blowed if I know where I left them. I do wonder if living in chaos saps it all away, maybe if I had a calm refuge and a more organised larder I’d get there. Maybe world history can wait and we need to do a concerted effort on muffinicity (that’s domestic stuff like healthy cooking and being a domestic goddess if you are new to the blog by the way!) Hmmm. Vivious circle time - there’s too much stuff for me to be able to tidy up so I leave it and it gets worse…. and my larder is full of lazy bugger foods that don’t fuel you right so I’m to tired to make healthy food that would fuel me up properly. did I mention I need to get a grip???
Ah the joys of living next to someone who uses taht particular word regularly to her children….. but at least this time it’s not my parents she tries a new word out on!!!
