Busy day!
Today is one of those days that needs organising with military precision! I'm so glad of my Mum who is a crucial part of the arrangements today.
I'm going into school this morning to hear readers - I'm looking forward to it but feeling a bit nervous because due to circumstances recently I've been really unreliable and just not turned up on quite a few Thursdays. It's a real effort to make myself go in, and yet when I'm there I absolutely love it and am so glad I did. Today I am definitely making the effort.
I'm going to be at home in the afternoon tackling the laundry mountain. Yet again I am washing it and getting it dry perfectly well, but then just not doing the further step of sorting it into piles for everyone to put away. One of the chairs in my living room is completely out of action at the moment as it is piled full of dry washing!
Later on Mum is collecting the younger two from school while L1 goes to the Joseph choir practice. I will drive round to her house a bit later to get L3 changed into her new Rainbow Uniform (thank you very much mrsrevj!) and drive her round to her first ever Rainbows meeting! Very exciting! While I do that, L1 will be arriving at Mum's house from her choir practice. Thank goodness she is old enough to do this on her own!
Having dropped L3 off, I will drive round to school because it is a full governors meeting tonight. I don't really need the car at all for any of these journeys because they are all close together, but I do need to have it with me for when the governors meeting has finished and I have to head across town as fast as I can to cafechurch in Costa Coffee at Tesco!
While I am at the governor's meeting, Mum, L1 and L2 will walk round to collect L3 from Rainbows, then having fed them all at some point (bless her) she will then walk them all round to our house and put the younger two to bed! She will then stay here till I return later on.
It's absolutely typical that the first Rainbows meeting clashes with a full governors meeting, of which there are only three a year, and cafechurch, which is only once a month! But thanks in no small part to Mum, we can cope.
Right! School run time now, and I'm hoping the rain might hold off as L1 has got her cycling proficiency training and test today and it would be such a shame if it was cancelled. Also on a more selfish note, I don't want to get wet! ;-)
