hello everyone ....
yesterday was a so-so day, i slept a lot ... but wasn't feeling so good
(hoping not to come down with DH's cold, he's been caughing in my face for more than 24 hours by now)
so managed
- cleaning the toilet lid in the bathtub
- a load of laundry & folding and putting away the load from the day before (since i needed the dining room table to spread out contents of boxes to declutter)
- going to the market (not so many fruit and veg sellers since it was a muslim holiday, instead found a shoe seller with slip on shoes for 10 euros each, very comfortable too, so got myself a pair in .... RED .... have never had a pair of red shoes ...)
- spent too much time on the computer (to avoid tackling the boxes)
- finally got round to opening a few boxes and sorting out, this is REAL hard to do for me
(there's not much i want to discart for one thing & and then .... i don't know how and where to store what i know i want to keep !)
- made myself a very decent healthy lunch (left overs) and a salad later on in the afternoon
- prepared and served a decent dinner in a time frame that i thought would work best for us(
= finishing cleaning dishes and shining the sink before 8:00 pm
which gave us the time to play cards (the children and i) for 35 minutes
this is for fun .... but also to practice .... loosing without blowing a fit & handing out cards to siblings or mom without throwing them out to someone's face ;;;;
=> the social center had a families' meeting a while ago, asking members what type of activities we would like to take part in
i suggested a games evening
AND they have come up with an afternoon playing board games during the school holidays
this is great & we are going to attend (and polish our manners in the meantime !)
so far this am
- got up, got breakfast
- replied to a few e-mails
- ran a bath but not yet washed
- tood out roller blading kit for DS and I & we are leaving in 15min so i must STOP relaxing at the computer
have a nice week-end !
