Today went really well. I got the out of the house in time. I am really getting the hang of the morning schedule and the younglings are great as well.
I did think I saw a mouse run across the living room. Our home is right next to the wood so it is not unusual to see mice. I just need to make sure that I start plugging up holes so that they do not come through.
After I had dropped them off at nursery and school I ran up to the shops to get some food. It is the best time for me to get it done as it is too stressful. After a comment that my son made I went to the shop armed with a shopping list for two days worth of shopping. At least I will not need to get anything tomorrow. I also made it back home in good time, so I was able to get some nice peaceful time at home before I rushed out to get the twins from nursery.
The afternoon went well but I had to tell my daughter off for being a bit too noisy at times. The twins enjoy playing on the computer. I think I will have to set a limit on them so that they only spend an hour on the computer.
My step daughter came over today. I was not sure if she was going to bother coming over as my partner is still away but I am glad that she stil came over. She will also be coming over tomorrow as normal.
I decided to keep the meal the same even though my step daughter was over. The meal went really well and even though I forgot to put an onion into my cottage pie it still tasted really nice (I know that I am biased but I did think it was lovely. I was proud that I managed to make a meal from scratch. I have not done thins for a while. I combination of being lazy and my partner cooking the meals. I will be doing more of this from now on. The cottage pie was really easy to make as well. The younglings were not sure about it at first but I managed to persuade them to eat it and they did really well. My step daughter ate all of hers up. I was happily surprised about that as she is a very fussy eater. I had put a few different types of herbs in there as well.
The late afternoon went well as well. I got a little snippy with them when they were not settling down when I was trying to clean up but thankfully I managed to get Sponge Bob on and they say really nicely. They were once again great for their bath and I left the TV on and they sat nicely while I got them ready.
I spoke to my partner tonight, he tried to call while I was reading to the younglings. It was unfortunate that he was not able to phone earlier. He is really enjoying it up there and will be back tomorrow. He has said about us going up there for a holiday. I think that would be wonderful.
The one thing that is bugging me is how quickly time is flying. They are off to bed and before I know it, it is the end of the night. Off to bed ready to start the madness yet again. It really does seem like it is never ending.
