Monday
Went to my friend's anyway even though class was cancelled. Walked up and bought some stuff at the scrapbooking shop and ended up with about $40 worth of stuff for $1.85! Was worth the trip, I think and I love the way the albumn is now -- looks much better than my scrappy cheap one.

Preschool was okay today -- walked up with the big pram/trailer. Was okay. Visited a friend's as well and bought new knitting needles. Needed them for Caitlyn's jumper.

Quiet day at home. Sold the fridge and kids weren't too bad. Got them bathed before picking up Daddy so they were ready for bed fairly early.

Ryan's first Wednesday at Pre-School. Seems to be going okay. Met up with Fiona R and Simone at the park. Was okay, but Caitlyn is so much more active than the other kids, so it was me running off all the time to play with her.

First week for Ryan back at Playgroup. Think he did okay. We did a nature-walk to the Reddy park and picked up autumn leaves along the way. Good day -- tiring but good.
Did scrapbooking tonight and got some good layouts done. Must remember to get more photos printed up in time for scrapping nights so I can actually get stuff done.

Out to Nanna & Papa's place today. Was nice to go out and was at Ryan's suggestion because he wanted to "see Nanna!"

Sorta okay today. Rushed around all day and felt like I was ferrying Darren hither and yon. Just needed an hour to have a lie down, I think. Didn't happen. Then "coffee" at 8 only one showed up. Big disappointment. One by one everyone called. I should have called her early and asked if we could postpone to next week. Regardless, it was a nice evening and I think we bonded.

Really good day. Only yelled at the kids when they were doing something dangerous, but nothing was really bothering me today. Just felt okay and managed a short sleep and felt de-stressed. Maybe the bath last night? Maybe the bonding with Simone? Dunno.

Don't remember much about Monday -- think I spent some of it with a friend.

The grind begins. Kids are sick of travelling, already, and kick up a stink getting in and out of the car. Don't remember much else. Evening was good at the cafe with the PND group girls. Swapped birth stories and Bronwyn suggested I do Maths tutoring! :) I think its a go-er!

Went to the park, I think, eventually. Not sure what else.

Busy day I recall, mostly because of the driving hither and yon.

Friday
Trying to get the photos printed today but haven't quite finished the pictures off. Class for tomorrow was cancelled, so went to the Friday night 'til you drop thing. I did the albumn and also did a little bit on a couple of pages. Felt like I got lots done although it was all little stuff.

Saturday
Everything went from bad to worse and I felt like the biggest idiot and all just because I wasn't going to the class, had planned a child-free morning and didn't get it. Then the photos wouldn't work at the kiosk at Paxton's and it just put me in a spin and I got really pissed off. Finally turned out right in the end and the girl at the shop was nice to me too.

Nanna really liked the albumn, I think. I hope so... Got a big squeezy hug and kiss at the end of the day and when I gave it to her. Alright Mother's day, but would have liked a bit of a break from washing children at the end of the day.

Was a good day -- Darren's first back at work and I got lots done at home. Felt pretty good about it, all in all. Even handled getting Darren and feeding time at the Zoo.

Wednesday
Rent is to go up another $15 per week on 1 July. Bit miffed and Darren says we'll have to move now. I don't want to... I talked about it before but wasn't really serious... I like it here. I've just gotten used to it.
Got upset trying to figure out what to do about this whole thing. Decided I'd write a letter directly to the landlord and ask him if we could have a bit of leniency until later in the year.
Also decided teaching is still my best option for the kids with school holidays etc.

Darren is so bloody inflexible! I can't imagine work is being difficult about his start and finish times. He's being a pain in the bloody bum and its pissing me off. I'm angry and hurt and upset: "why doesn't he get how hard it is for me to get the kids organised to go in the afternoon to get him?" Its bad enough we're doing this three days a week without upsetting the kids routines so much. They haven't had a decent dinner all week. Now I've got to figure out how to feed them something decent tonight and get to his work to pick him up. I think he'll just have to wait tonight. I can't be bothered busting a gut to keep everyone happy.
