Hi everyone,
Quiet on the forum today. I hope that means you are all getting a lot of rest and renewal.
Today has been a bit of a catch up day for me. A welcome home day after so much busyness. DH and I even cleaned out the fridge which was becoming more like a game of Tetris than an effective storage space for cold items!
~ Small rant warning ~
DS10's birthday with the in-laws became quite stressful for me after DH was a little insensitive then DBiL had a real go at me when I called DH on it. I don't think I was mean or over-reacted, I just wanted to be able to answer a question without DH talking over me. Anyway it blew up into much more than I wanted so I pretty well just did what needed to be done and put my pleasant little housewife demeanour on, which the feminist in me just hates. I'm still feeling a little hurt and really question the support I have in the family, but decided I'm aiming for peace now, because the world really needs it.
~ Small rant over ~
DS10 is thrilled to be double figures and is really growing into himself. It's been good to have a quiet day. DS10 has a geography test tomorrow and I helped him with his study notes. He knows the stuff, but doesn't find language easy so we practised the definitions and how he would answer different types of questions. DS5 has to read to the class tomorrow. Don't get me started on the curriculum demands placed on our very young - makes me so mad! So I am just trying to support him to do it confidently. DD13 has assignments due as well. Just saying, I'm sooooo looking forward to the Christmas holidays so the kids get a break.
Tomorrow I am working from work and need to get very focused. The big project has exploded and seems to take up all my work time including the time I should be giving to another report.
Home is back to basics. I thought a while ago that I should keep the upstairs entrance through the living areas to the kitchen, deck and upstairs bathroom company ready, so I'm refocusing on that. I have to room rescue the main bedroom soon as well. I think if I just get my bedside table clear today, that will be something nice to focus on and hopefully I will get more sorted from there.
I hope you all have a good day and appreciate all your support.
