Thursday, April 24, 2008 School Holidays Posted in Daily Life Week one is nearly over - it has gone fast & I have found I am busier than school time. This is mainly due to James' social life - he loves people & I 've been his personal taxi taking him to all his friends homes. Each home when I drop him off I stay & have a coffee with the mum - Which is nice - but I've spent a lot of my time this week playing ladies. We have been doing school each morning - Jame about 1 hour - Abbey about 2 - feels good as if over the winter we have BLAH days I know I will relax knowing we have kept schooling through the holidays. I did make the time to help Abbey begin her pillow she is making - she was a brick & cleaned the bathroom for me while I did it. She has sewed her blocks together & now has to trace her design and she is all set to begin embroidery. Some days - weeks we do need to remember the BIG picture - the kids aren't gonna remember if our house wasn't dusted - but they will remember the we have spent time with them.... So if you visit my home today - shut your eyes at the dust & clutter - I've been busy with the kids. My home tells the story! - It needs a real good pick me up - and I hope to get more done today. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend! Comments Thursday, April 24, 2008 - housekeeping Posted by jan m I have a much tidier house now that my three children have left home, but I don't regret for one minute that I spent more time with them, than I did cleaning, while they were growing up. The years go by too fast! • Permanent Link
