A year without my preschooler – Week #21

Last week I felt really busy so I planned to plan a bit less into this week in order to give me time to get what I need done, as I leave for Queensland on Sunday.

Monday – Today I tried out a new clothes folding method, thanks to the encouragement from an audio book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying” by Marie Kondo. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening and took copious notes so I can put her ideas into practise once I get back from holidays to Queensland.

Tuesday – Miss 9 is still having pain in her shoulder so today I took her to the physiotherapist. And while I was there I got my wonderful physiotherapist to check my neck too.

Wednesday – We watched the rest of War Room movie at Bible Study. It was so moving and really inspiring. Then I spent time financially getting ready for end of financial year. Gee that’s a mouthful.

Thursday – Canteen duty today was met with much excitement, especially when there was no tuna sandwiches to make. Not that I don’t like tuna, I just tend to not realise until later that I need to get tuna out of freezer to defrost and then I wait for ages for it to defrost. Then later I took Master 7 to the dentist.

Friday – Today was crazy hair day at school so part of the morning was spent doing all three kids hair – a first I think. I got into my veggie garden today. I saw a nice big rain cloud and hoped I could beat it, as my seedlings were desperate to be transplanted. Then I made a soup delivery to a pregnant friend and got to have a quick catch up. And the best part of my day was spending forty minutes colouring in with my baby princess.

Weekend – This weekend couldn’t have been more jam packed and requiring excellence in planning and execution. Miss 9 had a netball game which ended with an even score, a tie, even though she sat off half the game due to her shoulder. I spent the rest of the day packing for a flight to Queensland, and the kids packed for their trip to Perth next week, and also a day bag for Perth trip on Sunday to see Peter and the Wolf with WASO. We had friends over Saturday night for dinner and then midday Sunday I flew to Queensland. As I was dropped off at the airport I wondered why my scarf was wet, and realised that Miss 5 had cried into my shoulder as she hugged me tightly before saying goodbye.
