Back to work

This will be the rough schedule:

7am - get up
7:30 get kids up and dress them
730-8am or whenever there is more toast on the floor than on their plates: breakfast
8:15 - block all escape routes from the hall and try to leave the house.
8:30 - 9am cajole kids into nursery, run like mad to the car, pretending to be anneka rice.
9 am - pick up fruit and vegetables from fruit shop
9:20 - 10 drive to work
10 - 4, work like mad and get full dose of adult conversation prior to leaving
4 - 4:30 drive to pick kids up
4:30 pick kids up and try to hurry nursery nurse along with her incredibly long discussion on the day. to be honest, if my kid is looking happy then it makes no odd to me what exact hue of plasticine they chose for their picture today. thanks, but I dont need to know that when I am in a hurry.
5pm, serve dinner
6pm, run bath
6:30, fish two kids out of the bath
7pm - remove work clothes, which are probably wet from bath and covered in dinner.
7:30 - lemonade and martini time.

8pm - cook dinner for the next day and prepare nurser bags (again).

Ofcourse, this all hinges on the fact that I dont need to make any adjustments to the above plan, like fill up with petrol, traffic jams etc, kids actually do as expected. As its two days a week, wont be too hard to bear should it all go horribly wrong!

ok skip the fruit / veg step is my suggestion and just get a veg box delivered. that will also make life interesting as you try and work out what to do with all the suede...

nah, dont want those veg / fruit box schemes again, they are bad value, plus I love our grocer, the lush spanish boy takes my shopping to my car! Wont do without my diet coke break!
