Something to do....

Days like this leave me feeling really low and lethargic. We have no plans! Well, we kind of do but nothing that appeals to me. The girls are fighting and barking at each other and I'm frustrated and distracted by the internet. It's amazing how much drama there is the world of carrier makers! I'm not sure why I haven't taken them out for a walk or done some crafty stuff with them. I just don't really want to because everything seems to be a fight at the minute. Trying to dress them to go out is horrendous! Annabelle protests at EVERYTHING - she 'hates' her coat and 'hates' her shoes which is incredibly frustrating. She's three so I don't expect anything else but still - it's a bit of a chew!!! I need to plan but in order to plan I need time, soooooo.... Lou will be the joining the family for two to three hours a week as of Friday. She's a student at a French University studying English and she's here for her year abroad. She's lovely. She's going to speak to the children in French and do crafty stuff with them. When it's sunny she's going to take them to the part. This means I have a couple of hours so plan, to print and to buy supplies for the week ahead. I'm so looking forward to it. Sadly she's only here until June so when she goes home I'll have to find someone else!!! I'm so glad that she's coming but it's tinged with sadness as usual because my mum would have done it willingly!!!! I try not to 'go there' with thoughts of what it would be like if she was still here - dangerous emotional territory. It's much easier to live in the present instead of in a fantasy land.
