Regular readers will know that it’s been fairly busy, in fact a little chaotic, chez mumturnedmom over recent weeks. The blog has suffered, the house has suffered, my 7yo has run out of clean socks almost daily (I swear he eats them!).
In less than two weeks I fly to the UK, I’m attending BritMums in London (yay!) and then travelling up to Edinburgh to pack up the remainder of the stuff from our old house and attend the wedding of a very good friend.
Before then, the 5yo finishes up at school (so I have to organise teacher gifts), it’s Father’s Day, it’s the 7yo’s birthday and then he also finishes school (more teacher gifts!)…
In addition to all this, because I can fit so much more into my day, I need to get posts written and scheduled for while I’m away; although ten days minus children might be a good opportunity to actually do some writing :) Or maybe just sleep?
So, this week has been all about planning, or at least an attempt at it. I’ve written a lot of lists!
Now, to start ticking some things off said lists… Wish me luck :)
