Housework and homework

Early morning we all looked at Cook menu and order meals for next chemo spell.

I ordered a pair of walking shoes from Blacks (Christmas present from Dave and girls).  If they don't fit, I can get tram to Deansgate and return them.  There are at least three outdoor shops near Blacks, so I think I would be able to replace them in same trip.

Homework has hung in the air around us.  Agreed start time was eleven in the morning.  Katy got on with it.  Martha argued against it for 45 minutes.  She could have started and finished one piece, in that time.  In the end, they have both completed their homework.  Katy continued with her literacy homework, this evening - she is really into Macbeth.  She has analysed the feelings of the key characters using internet and her own knowledge of the play.

I have spent all the rest of the day either cooking, or cleaning after cooking (and cleaning after Martha and Katy had an art project in the kitchen).  It sounds grim, but I only had a 30 minute "sleep", which was a light doze.  It was enjoying to be able to absorb myself in something.  I feel reasonably well.

Sorry, I have just been diverted into family phone calls to plan my Mum's 70th birthday.
Sleep time is overdue
loads of love

  1. Hi sarah,
    I read your blog yesterday morning and commented but my post was unsuccessful. I really enjoyed reading your account of our evening together on Friday, it made me laugh and recall moments in the game and with the girls. I also said I was pleased you were considering entering the London 10k. I think you should go for it! And get Helen and chris to enter too! You know what the atmosphere of these events is like, and passing all the sights of London will be brilliant and really whet the appetite for the London Marathon in 2015. There will be loads of other walkers, and if you watch the Manchester one in May you'll be inspired I'm sure. I think it will give you a confidence boost and be a milestone on your road to recovery.

    I wanted to share my thoughts.

    Glad you're feeling better. See you next Saturday.

    Love Louise xx

  2. Kasia is the same. She will spend more time arguing about having to do homework by which time she could have done it! Glad it is not just us! Once she settles down then she is not too bad.

    hope your week goes well - still avidly reading your blog!

    Love from us all
