My week that was

Monday was an early start to the day for a drive to Dublin to work on a new system implementation.  Spent the day in the office and then went back to the hotel where I got an executive suite!

Tuesday – still in Dublin and Buster had school photographs taken in nursery.  Stayed overnight in the hotel again.

Wednesday – another day in Dublin but left to drive home so MrR could work.  Got home just before my two fell asleep

Thursday – up early to get my two organised for school, met MrR in his work car park to hand over K for the school run and then left Buster to the child-minder before driving back to Dublin for the day.  Drove home again in the pouring rain!

Friday – a day in my office followed by chippy night at mum and dads although dad had to go to a work event so missed out!

Saturday- a day making monkeys.  K went to dancing and then we went shopping.

Sunday – more monkeys made today as well as my first dinosaur and a finished a doll too! We only ventured out to mum and dads for dinner.

Next week is a week in the office so not as much running or driving around!

Monday was the first day back into work after the office was closed for two days.  We were extremely busy and I was in awful form and so glad when it was done.  I came home and after my two went to bed packed my suitcase for another work trip.

Tuesday up bright and early and off to Dublin, no wrong turns this time! was in a training session all day and then had no hotel room as everywhere was fully booked.  Finally got one sorted and once at the hotel met up with colleagues for dinner and drinks- I had two glasses of water!! Got two recommendations for new books so will buy them when i get home.

Wednesday another full day of training and I left to drive home just after six.  Stopped at the motorway services and couldn’t take my eyes of a lady who had drawn her lip liner right under her nose and filled it in with a lighter colour- why? Her husband was behind me in the queue and really annoying me as he was an  expert in everything- was glad to get my tea and leave, in fact I left so quickly I forgot to put a lid on the cup!

Thursday back into work and another busy day.  Home to play with my two and read stories before bed.  Buster had a really bad nights sleep and K kept waking with sore feet!

Friday after a very restless night I was exhausted and just about dragged myself into work! Had a nightmare trying to order stuff online as posted here.  After work collected my two from their nannies and went to mum and dads for chips.

Saturday a nice bright warmish day and started it off with breakfast outside, followed by some TV time and then playing with chalk in the driveway.  Afterwards we got packed up for a picnic picked out a teddy each and then collected Nanny Pat and set off.  My two ate everything packed (it was a very simple picnic but they ate way more than normal) and had a great time playing hide and seek with their teddies.  We then went to the hairdressers and buster got his hair cut first and was great, then K got hers all cut with lots taken off the length and a new fringe- they both think they are gorgeous- as do I!  Mum then took them home via the park while I had my hair cut.

Sunday another warmish day but very cloudy and windy.  We took the bikes and went to the Castle grounds.  Buster was on a bigger bike and was able to go a lot faster than I could run.  K is great now and has no problems going up kerbs etc.  Buster did a lot of stunts as he calls them but thankfully no tears.  We played on the castle remains and walked up the cake- its a lot safer now than when I was a child!

Afterwards my two went to mum and dads while I went to a meeting with Sunflower fest for volunteers. I made it to the right road but couldn’t find the house and after 40 minutes gave up and came home.  Stayed at mums and dads for dinner and afterwards came home for stories and bed.

Another week over and soon it will be the countdown back to school!

K has slept in her own bed in her own room all week!

Monday I was in the office for all of 5 minutes before going to do my refresher security course for work.  I got back into the office at about 14:30 and found out I needed to be in Dublin for the next two days.  Got home and started packing again!

Tuesday yet another early start, was exhausted when I left the house at 06:15.  Went and got petrol and started to drive to Dublin.  Keep thinking it won’t be long until I can stop for tea to wake me up and then I noticed I was miles away from where I should have been- I wasn’t safe to be driving.  Got to the office a little late and sat in on another course.  Finished up at about 14:00 and decided not to stay over so after a quick lunch drove home again.

Wednesday groundhog day- went back to Dublin and did the remaining part of the course.  Got home about 16:30 and after a couple of work calls went outside to play with my two.

Thursday an even earlier start.  Left the house at 05:10 to catch a flight to Birmingham.  Got home at 20:30 just in time for MrR to go to work at 21:00!

Friday back into my own office to get sorted for month end. It was the last day of school and K picked a dress to wear in for her party.  We also had the teachers presents ready – well after a quick trip to buy something for the classroom assistant on the way to school. After work collected my two and went for chippy night to mum and dads

twopointfourchildrenSaturday I gave in and we showered and put on cleans pyjamas and stayed in all day. I taught K how to tie laces and my two played games and painted and we watched Toy Story 3 for the first time.

Sunday had planned to go on a walk but Buster was playing up so lost out on this trip.  We went out and bought some new craft supplies before going to mum and dads for dinner.  We had to fit in a food shop too as we had run out of dishwasher and washing powder.

I think I may be at home all of next week!
