We’ve just way too much stuff to fit into the week!
Over the past few months we have just been totally swamped with things that we never could have anticipated arising just a few months earlier and there seems to be no let up in the tasks in prospect either.
Oddly though it’s largely been down to a relatively small number of things that have eaten up an unbelievably large chunk of the day between them.
To begin with my Mum needed to go to the physiotherapist. Sounded easy except that it wasn’t one appointment but two or three a week over almost three months. All right in the middle of the morning too so in effect the entire morning was eaten up by each one of them and often part of the afternoon. Losing two or three days out of your week like that makes a big difference to what you can do over the course of a week.
Then Wendy got what seemed a nice little job as temporary dinner lady in the kids’ school. Only an hour a day so not much pay but boy was that an awkward job! For one thing, when added to Mum’s appointments it meant that quite frequently we’d to drive over town, drop Mum, back to drop Wendy, wait for Wendy, race to collect Mum and then race back to get the kids which meant getting on for two hours driving those days for no apparent benefit.
With just those two things taking up surprisingly large chunks of the day there was a knock-on effect on everything else with massive delays in getting things done. Thus our bathroom which should have been totally redone about two months ago is still sitting ready to be done and with the holidays coming up next week it may be sitting like that for another month or two.
