Me on Monday - on Tuesday!

Yes, I know!

But it was a very busy weekend and then the normal busy Monday so I'm playing catch up with Sian and the others.

Saturday was spent chauffeuring M to a pizza party;

starting my Christmas shopping;

packing our shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child;

and trying to take it easy. Unsuccessfully.

Sunday morning saw us deliver the shoeboxes at Church;

celebrate my eldest nephew's 16th birthday;

and me reaffirm my faith at my confirmation in Guildford Cathedral

All exciting stuff, but it's left me feeling quite tired. R has rehearsal and Scouts on Mondays, but after school today, M and I agreed to give ballet a miss and instead snuggled down to watch Maleficent.

How can I be back at work again? I'm sure that Half Term week wasn't as long as a week at work!
Having said that, we did lots of fun stuff:
Monday- playdate with M's schoolfriends, whose Mum isn't lucky enough to have Half Term off. Baking and making all day long.

Tuesday - riding with my oldest friend (and M's Godmother)

Wednesday - pumpkin carving, a spooky (and wet) woodland walk

and homework - the long-dreaded Taj Mahal Project. What do you think?

Thursday - lunch with a friend and her kids, and swimming to disco music.

Friday - 'Light Party' at the Church and a bit of light, local Trick or Treating

 

Saturday - cinema trip to see 'Book of Life'. P came home on Saturday evening.

This week looks fairly routine - except for Wednesday when M will be getting enrolled as a Brownie. What about yours?
Waving to Sian here.

Me on Monday

Starting last night with 8 hours of Tech Rehearsal, this week I will mostly be watching Oliver!, either from the wings as a chaperone or from the audience as a very proud parent. R is playing Charlie Bates and, judging from what I saw yesterday, it's going to be an amazing show.

Me on Monday

Not another Monday already!
They are hard this year.
Both kids were at breakfast club by 7.45. I taught from 9 till 2,30 with only about 10 mins break . After school is homework overseeing,  tea making (currently without an oven) and housework doing. Then taking R to a rehearsal 7 to 9 pm.
This weekend was spent travelling to London, eating with old friends, visiting Tate Britain,

I don't like this at al

 

I like this a lot
 

 ordering a new oven, enjoying the best and worst of Autumn weather and marking lots of work.
this Is my first time linking up with Sian's Me on Monday.
