Back in the Land of the Living

I’m back in the Land of the Living now after surviving the weekend with my nieces. Don’t get me wrong, they’re lovely little girls (when the 3 year old isn’t persistantly asking questions and the baby isn’t screaming) and I love them dearly.

It has taken me this long to feel normal again after the whole experience, which included 2 trips out in the car in my PJs, in the early hours of Sunday morning (12:30 and 4:30), to get the little one quietened down and back to sleep whilst my husband tried to calm the other 3 down back at home. Zzzzz. It was a major shock to the system!

I find that when I’m tired and in need of a boost, it’s really difficult to stick to my rules (chocolate plays a major part here), and the times when I’m fine and coping perfectly well, I find it really easy.
Hmm. Never mind.

When it comes to time management, I think I’m going to try to allow myself an extra ten minutes to do certain things, like getting ready for school. That way I should never be panicking at the last minute... Wishful thinking? :)
