Monday looms...
Well, tomorrow Brendon goes back to work.
I think we are set - the first thing will be Playcentre tomorrow morning for Isabelle (and maybe Aidan). I have been offered some assistance in getting them from A to B, which is fantastic. Brendon is also hoping/planning to come home early in order to take Isabelle to fairy ballet.
We have three frozen meals in the freezer, and the promise of one more sometime this week.
My aims for the days ahead are both modest and challenging. I would like to:
1. Spend a bit of time with Isabelle and Aidan (separately) - this could be as short as a conversation or as long as a marathon book reading session. Quality of connection rather than quantity of time or specific activity matters the most in this case.
2. Achieve basic housework. This entails doing and putting the washing out, making food and doing the dishes, and sweeping the floor in the kitchen and dining area.
3. Achieve one extra piece of housework. This could be as simple as clearing away clutter from one area of the house, toilet cleaning, or a full house sweep.
4. Exercise. A quick walk, or maybe just one or two of the postnatal exercises I am supposed to be doing.
5. Some down time for me. Possibly internet time, lie down or getting to read all the newspaper.
If I don't blog for a week, you'll know I never made it to number five!
