Posted in A Day in My Life
Little Jenny Wren has been running a Day in My life for a few months now. Basically you journal about an ordinary day - and over a course of a year there will be a snap shot of what our life was like in 2008.
5am - up computer time - did emails for cats & cat blog - I seem to be in a good routine for this now & it is a brilliant way to keep owners up to date.
6.30 am Brent up -I made his lunch ham, cheese & onion toasted sammies - well he toasts them at work. A bit of slice Abbey had made & fruit. - Made his breakfast of toast. Heated his boots by the fire & I pack all his bag with keys & phone - he has me well trained!
7.30 am I played on the kids Sims 2 computer game. I'm a big believer in knowing what the kids are reading & playing - so by playing their computer games I understand content, plus I can then listen to all they want to talk about their games & understand. Some of the Sims content I don't agree with & we have a few guidelines while playing. The kids finally got Brent to have a go last night - he made a man & a dog. He did have fun - but it's not really his thing. I do struggle playing x box - I find I get headaches & have no fine motor skills to play.
till 11am shower, dress, chores - feed & clean the cattery, answer some more emails & have a cuppa coffee while start today's a day in the life...
till 1pm I got out in the garden - oooh soo nice to get outside! Finished clearing vege patch, weeded front porch rose garden - One rose bush is still dead from when Molly the Goat pruned it - I've decided to turn it into a blueberry patch. Brent is going to ask a guy at work who has a trade account if we can get some bushed on his account - we did this for our olives. Had a good chat with Pam on the phone - you try pushing a wheelbarrow with a mobile phone in your ear - talk about laugh. I loved my time outside - felt very lucky to live where we do I love the open space - no neighbours can see me and all the animals to talk to - they seem to watch me weed looking hopeful for some titbits. The chooks love digging up my weedpile when I put in their run, Molly the goat & sheep wait by fence for their share of weeds. cats & kittens call to me from cattery. - We have a good life!
till 2pm lunch left over cauliflower cheese, James cooked himself bacon & peas interesting but he ate it. Check emails, applied to my tutor for an extra 2 weeks as I have done bad time management and no way have assignment done.(She gave me 1 week phew glad I didn't ask for 1 week I might only of got 3 days grin) - Study is hard when life gets in the way & all our winter ills seems to of taken up a lot of my time & energy. I'm also behind in my quilting SOB! Still I've made some bad choices - eg playing Sims with kids - but .......
Till 5.15pm A friend Annette & her girls came to visit one of the girls has been itching to play with the kittens. Abbey had made a yummy lemon slice - I'll con her to make it again so I can get a nice photo & share recipe - it's one of Brent's favourites.
Once Annette went it was all hands on deck to get animals feed, cleaned & tea prepared - the kids & I work a s a great team & we worked hard & got it all done - just a bit too late for the animals they like routine & wait for feeding time. Kitten packs arrived so James sat & put them together - BIG help! Tea had to be quick with me starting it at 5.45pm so we had chilli con carne
Evening was spent sitting at table entering in price book & planning sales from grocery shops this week - most thrilling we got them delivered this week! I am finding a lot of basics are not on sale - but lots of packaged food is, which we do not buy. We planned our day for tomorrow - a very busy day. Went through spam folder as my emails are ending up in there again grrrrrrrrrr. Got in contact with new kitten owners to confirm microchipping. Abbey did some knitting, Brent & James took the dog for a big walk. I hopped in bed at 9pm to read my book with my electric blanket on ahhhhhhh.
