Just Another Manic Friday

Phew!
It is now 10pm.
Today I have:

• Got up (trust me, that wasn't a given after the week we've had)
• Made 3 breakfasts
• Got 2 children to school on time; one wearing uniform, one in mufti.
• Remembered to take to bottle of wine as a donation for the Summer Fair, in return for mufti.
• Gone to work:
• taught 2 hours of advanced level English;
•  collated my paperwork for 2 trips next week;
• sorted out exam entries
• remembered a present for my line manager's birthday tomorrow
• Come home and had leftover chilli for lunch
• Packed last minute things for R's Scout camp

• Blitzed the living room
• Culled M's bookshelf of books she never reads and taken them to school for the Summer Fair
• Thrown away a lot of rubbish from M's drawers and relocated her dressing up clothes....
• ....so I could finally find a home for all her birthday presents which have been cluttering the house for 3 weeks.
• Collected M from school
• Spoken to R's form teacher about arrangements for a school activity trip
• Attended a doctor's appointment for a repeat prescription (waste of my time, but necessary)
• Taken M to a play date. We arrived to find that the mum, who had requested this date, wasn't at home.
• phoned home to ask R to locate her mobile number on my email.
• felt proud of R as we have only just started this experiment of leaving him at home for short periods and keeping in phone contact
• Made R's dinner
• Collected more bounty from the garden

• Driven R to camp and helped him find his tent.
• Collected M from the play date.
• Popped into Sainsbury's Local for something quick for dinner
• Come home to P-first evening we've spent together since Monday (and we were both on our separate devices - not good)
• Poured myself this

• Typed this post
• Put a burger and some oven chips in the oven
• Watched some TV with M then tucked her into and kissed her goodnight
• Finally sat down with P to watch the celebrities on Masterchef cook far better food than we were eating.

Time for bed now. Night night.
