I can't believe where the week has gone. I've done 4 days at work. Only one day seemed to be a bit of a hair raising time but things did calm down. Still waiting on the Care Commission to turn up.
Monday night I had free tickets to The Duchess. A lovely film and well worth a visit. Tuesday I seemed to rush about non stop after school and never made it to PTA as David hadn't come home in time. Wednesday I had a pedicure and I really enjoyed having some me time. Thursday was the school BBQ. The weather was lovely but it seemed very quiet compared to previous years.
Friday was coffee with the mums from school. But it was ruined by a bit of a situation by 2 mums who decided that their latest target was one of my friends. Their behaviour was appauling and I truly hope they are ashamed of themselves and the fact that everyone was made aware of what they really are.
Got work this week and we have booked to go back to Beamish next weekend so a long weekend away for the September weekend.

Don't think it's to be my week
Don't think it's to be my week...
Yesterday at 7.45am I remembered I had 2 hours until my smear test. At least I remembered this time I had an appointment somewhere. Took children to school and Murray stood in a major mound of Dog Pooh! Why are there some dog owners who just don't care!?!? Brought said shoe home and bleurgh. I felt so ill and the house stank.
Today I took some work and was most miffed off when it got cancelled. The office phoned said nursery at 8.30am so why did it take them until 11am to say they didn't need me. Was so annoyed with them over that.
And now I have to go to Brownies and do bingo. It just isn't my sort of thing and could see it far enough. MIL couldn't come as she's at a funeral.
David kindly shared hiscold with Eilidh who just won't rest. I'm getting stressed that she will miss her dance show this weekend.
I think I need some KALMS to calm me down.

2 weeks on
We're in to week 3 of January. That means there is a birthday on the way. Found last week hard going with working a Monday. For the last 2 years I've not worked a Monday and it's been a great start to the week. By the time I go to work on Tuesday I'm refreshed for the week ahead.
Being out of the house by 7.45am, round to the childminders then on to work arriving 5 minutes after when I am supposed to start with the teacher tutting. But it has been nice having a place of work and my own wee area. By the time 11.30am arrived on Wednesday, I couldn't wait to get going home and relax for 3 hours until I picked up child number 2 and hung about for child number 1.
This could be my last week there and I have to say that I am sad. I like the other Nursery Nurses and I am changing my mind about the teacher. I think it's just the way she is and that she doesn't hate me. I've enjoyed my time there and in one way want my Monday's back but in the other am enjoying the fun of being part of a team and doing the job I want to do.
As soon as I finish on Wednesday this week, I have to get cracking with my baking. Eilidh will be 8 on Friday and what started as a birthday lunch for 2 is now 13! Why the heck didn't I just arrange to meet them all at McDonald's? HAHA. So proper birthday lunch of Sandwiches, Sausage rolls, Sausages, Jelly and ice cream will be happening. I have got make your own party bags and instead of cake we are decorating biscuits to take home instead.
Happy Birthday to Chris, Eilidh's Godfather. It's a birthday celebration tinged with sadness as the baby who would be their godson, passed into the arms of the angels a year ago today. Thinking of his mum and dad on the 1st anniversary. They had 9 wonderful days with him and hoping that he is waving down at them from Heaven.

Back to Normality
Things went back to normal this week. Eilidh and Murray went back to school on Monday. Both seemed quite pleased to be back at school. Eilidh's project this year is the Eygptian's. She seems quite keen about it all. Murray... well we're never quite sure what he's doing as he "can't remember!"
Anyway I had a lazy day on Monday. Did nothing and felt lazy the whole day lol. Tuesday, I dropped the children at the childminder and came home. Was debating whether or not I should work when my work phoned. I got the option of 3 schools so took the closest school as it was all day and then half day on Wednesday. Turns out I'll be there Monday/Tuesday all day and until 11.30am on a Wednesday until the end of January. Quite good as it means I know I have a full pay plus extra for January's pay. Makes life so much easier when I know where I am working and how long for. It could be longer too.
It snowed on Monday early morning but the snow had melted here. But in other parts it was very deep. When I went to work on Tuesday there was snow which had turned to ice and was slippy but the children had a great time digging it up and putting it in to buckets. Led on to us doing ice in the water tray too.
Thursday turned into another lazy day with me lounging about. It rained the majority of the day and I decided we would walk to school and got soaked. Took ages for the wet stuff to dry.
Last Saturday Eilidh went to a party at Build a Bear in town for 2 of her friends. They were sharing their party. My mum had gone to the sales and got her a gorgeous dress from Monsoon. So I got some shoes and a top and she wore it to the party. They seemed to have a ball and then they went to McDonald's for tea. Met them on the bus on the way home and they sang all the way home on the bus. We took Murray to the new Hamley's toy shop inside Jenners. Could have spent a long long time there.
We're organising Eilidh's birthday. She's getting a bike, Barbie MP3 player and a webkinz.
We were having lunch for a couple of people but it seems to have ended up with 13 children and possibly 2 babies coming. Have got lunch to serve, then have make your own party bags and planes and butterflies for them. Need to do a major clean up for it all.
Anyway am off to Carlisle tomorrow for a girlie lunch. It's one friend's birthday and one friend has announced she is getting married by May so we're having an early hen do for her. Looking forward to buffet chinese. Not the best for my diet but on the diet trial so far I've lost 2lb.s Typically, I had to weigh in this morning and my constipation was dreadful and this afternoon things have sorted themselves. Lets hope I have a better loss next week lol.

It's been a mix match week
It's been a strange week. I've just been sat here reflecting on the the past week. It's been one full of emotions.
Last Wednesday, we had the recall to Murray's bloods. He's still showing at dehydrated. Sadly because of the distressed state he was in at the surgery we couldn't get any more blood out of him.
Thursday seemed to be a day of rushing. Murray had 2 parties back to back. Was exhausting but managed well to get everything done and even managed to take Eilidh shopping for the holiday clothes lol.
Friday was a quiet morning followed by a hopsital visit. Someone was leaving so we got held up. But great news that Murray's squint is really improving. So we are down to 1 hour on the patch. Also got a phone call for work.
Saturday was stressful. D's mum decided to book a family photograph but erm.....don't book it for 45 minutes after Eilidh's blinking dance class. It was one big rush to get from Stockbridge to Loanhead and there were roadworks EVERYWHERE Every turn we took saw more roadworks. Then I felt it was a completely tense atmosphere. Couldn't wait to get out of there. My poor kids were starving too. So we hit sainsbury's for lunch. We then chilled out for the afternoon before a trip to Luca's for ice cream....mmmmmm. It was fab.
Sunday was an over wrought day in this house. Probably best to forget it ever happened.
So after 2 days off school, we are back to normal tonight and I am back to work tomorrow in a nice wee nursery to ease me back in gently. My acupuncture really worked and relieved a lot of the pain and my back is improving. Have had manipulation done too to really help.
So here's to being on the up at long last
