My day so far

I don't know about you but I've been finding it very hard to get motivated today.

You can hardly blame me though, I mean it's July

and this is what greeted me when I opened the curtains this morning.

A drab grey rainy horrible cold morning.

Dylan is going on a school trip to an orchard farm today.

I just hope it will stay dry when they are touring the grounds and

picking the fruits.

I think they might spend some time inside the farm house, Dylan

told me they are going to bake apple pies with the apples they pick.

He'd better save a piece for me.

Hmmm, apple pie.

Anyway, I packed his wellies and his raincoat, stuffed it all in a

backpack and sent him off to school wishing him a super fun day.

Can't wait to hear all about it when he gets back.

Emily couldn't quite find her motivation either this morning

For the first half hour of the day she wasn't "feeling very well".

I think she was hoping to pull of a sicky.

When I told her no going to school meant no Rainbows tonight she quickly

perked up and ten minutes later she came running up the stairs telling

me she was ready to get dressed.

After I dropped off the kiddies and got back home I quickly tidied

the house. You know the drill, putting away dishes, hoovering floors,

wiping counter tops and the table, picking up stuff that doesn't belong where it was

left, emptying the washing machine and folding the laundry and so on.

I find it so much easier to relax when everything is clean and in its place.

Only downside? As soon as the kids and husband walk through the door

items start reappearing EVERYWHERE!

At least for now the living room looks tidy.

So this is where I am sitting right now, laptop on the table and enjoying a cup

of hot chocolate and some freshly baked croissants.

It looks something like that

I must remember thank my kids later for leaving fingerprints all over the laptop!

So that's it, that's all I've been doing so far today.

Later on I will brave the weather, go to the shop and get something for

tonight's dinner. I'm thinking chicken casserole.

I will also get a BIG bar of chocolate and my afternoon will be

spend watching a good movie until the kids are back.

Yep

sounds good to me!

Linking up with these ladies

Have a great Tuesday lovelies!
