Ten minutes

I have ten minutes left before insanity ensues and I release the kids from their mandated rest period.

Ten minutes where I was hoping I could conjure up a fantastic post and publish something wow worthy.

I originally had an hour, an hour long mandated rest period for all children.

In that hour I intended to hang out two loads of washing and do some more, so far the two loads made it to the basket and the basket made it as far as the middle of the kitchen floor. I was going to make and drink a Hot cup of coffee, I made it, but now I can’t remember where I put it. I was planning on changing my bed (due to everyone else’s being occupied and therefore a little awkward to change), that hasn’t even been considered. I planned to do some editing on an important document and to drink my coffee whilst catching up on a couple of blogs, but as I mentioned I’m not entirely sure where my coffee went but I did read the blogs, not the ones I intended to but I did read or maybe skim read.

I planned to tidy the kitchen, but thats not important as I won’t have time to cook dinner anyway. Due to another after school activity filled afternoon. But hey on the upside. I spent money today I spent almost $400 on a trailer for my bike which can allow me to haul two children, and helmets for said children and self coz mine has gone missing, oh and lights because you all know I don’t start things like this in summer when it would be intelligent, instead I decide to start using my bike when petrol gets to $1.80 and its heading into winter so we need lights to be able to see our way and be seen going to and from post school activities. So I may not be able to sit down for a couple of weeks whilst the callouses on my ass get tougher. If you get garbled posts its really because I couldn’t sit to type them and the keyboard looks different from three feet higher. I am not going to tell my Distraction about the not sitting thing coz he has stupidly suggested he bring his bike here so that we can go out riding together, and thats a suggestion which I shall be encouraging him to follow through with coz if my backside is going to be sore then I may as well make sure someone else suffers too!!!!!!

So whilst Storm is emptying the dishwasher and catwoman is protesting about the enforced rest period, flash gordon is refusing to sleep although he’s beside himself after a big day having a friend over, I have accomplished a moderate post of babble. Thanks again for reading and I shall now go and release the banshee’s. Much love Me

  • Hmmm...sounds like my Saturdays. I have a tendency when my daughter is with her dad to make a small pot of coffee, and take the first two sips before becoming engrossed in the computer or falling asleep with a book on the couch. I'll start the laundry, and promptly sleep through the dryer's buzzer.
