...

Today started out ok. Then turned to bad. And then to worse. It has picked up to being ok now but the day is nearly over anyway.

It started by not enough sleep during the night due to a little boy who slept too much the previous day probably sleeping too much in the car yesterday when we were traveling to Edinburgh then Glasgow and then back home. Got up late as well 8am. And then all the fussing from Amelia started, she hasn't been feeling quite well lately so that is probably part of the problem. And of course if Amelia acts up who is next? Aaron...that probably was again due to needing a new diaper or hungry. So in the midst of two children fussing and one I needed to watch a whole lot due to potty issues lately (she is doing good, very good just poor thing has diarrhea) and then the mess had to happen with Asda...ugh. We got a phone call saying that we needed to call back to... I guess give them another credit card number or whatever but I didn't catch the phone number they gave that we were supposed to call back to, so I finally got the Asda customer number, called them and found out it was cancelled because I didn't call before 9am. That meant I needed to get groceries this morning as we were at the end of our barrel. So Aaron was napping nicely at around 10:30ish so I got out with Amelia and went to Morrisons as it was nearest. Now wouldn't you like to know what I passed on my way there? Yes, the Asda Truck...I didn't know exactly if they were going to my place so I kind of just put that out of my mind and carried on. I got to Morrisons and Jett called...yep, Asda came. :S Ok but they said it was cancelled?! So Jett had a wasteful morning trying to figure that out. I didn't go for no reason to Morrisons thankfully had to drop off some dry cleaning, but it felt like a wasted trip nonetheless. Got home to lots of groceries so I put them up fed Amy lunch and put her down for her nap. I then was in the process of making lunch for Jett and myself...(and I forgot to mention that I put up some sheets outside to dry I think before I left for Morrisons.) Right before we started to eat lunch I hung up some wet laundry (inside that is) and then...it started to rain...ho hum, I thought, it is raining...well maybe it will stop soon... a few seconds later it down pours....ugh...I thought, well maybe it will stop soon... I hope...and then of course it has to downpour even harder. Gone was my idea of it ever stopping but it did eventually. I have yet to find out if my wash is anything near dry on the line.

Well that was the worst of the day. I am hoping things will settle down again but I fear that is not likely to happen seeing we move next week! So yes, this afternoon I was busy with packing. And most of the packing is on my shoulders because Jett is taking the services here. At least he can pack up his books and room etc! It looks more likely that he will take the car loaded to the brim with stuff while I take the bus with the kids. At least with the bus I can take out Aaron from the car seat if and when I need to. But I have yet to see us ready to go and that is not yet!

So my week has looked very busy from monday and onwards already. Monday I had an appointment with the chiropractor and then we went to the bookroom and the Macleod's for dinner. Today was the above which seemed very unproductive however I can say that I nearly have all the children's clothes packed and most of Amelia's room is completed. Next is my stuff, then the bathroom stuff and hallway, and on to the kitchen/dining room. So much...maybe a bit too much that it seems overwhelming to me but I'm trying to stay optimistic and tackle one room at a time. So...we'll see what tomorrow brings, abw!

But for now I need to be thankful with what I have and I need to remind myself of what I take for granted (which is soo much isn't?). It was a good day yesterday, and I might add especially the evening service. They put a large speaker in the vestry so now I can hear crystal clear (so to speak) - very nice when you have children who tend to be far from quiet!

Oh and one more thing. Jett and I caught Amelia copying (as she is doing a lot of this lately!) . She had a play cup and play spoon and pretended to mix something. Off she went to get Dolly. Then she folded Dolly's hands and started to pray. And then came the meal. It was cute to see as you can imagine! She also is starting to keep Aaron occupied at times, I do hope they will be good friends/playmates when he gets a wee bit older.

Ok...dishes are beckoning me to wash'em, rinse'em and dry'em (well drip dry actually).
