Waiting for a bus syndrome

You know what I mean. You wait nearly an hour for a bus and then 3 turn up all at the same time.

This is what my life is like at the moment. I've been bimbling along for ages now, not much on, which is good considering the weather we've been having (more on this later) and now last weekend and pretty much this week I have got soooo much on. It just isn't funny.

Last Saturday, for example, I had a very, very old friend visiting (Laura, who I've know since we worked together when I was 19). As I haven't seen her in nearly 4 years I was very excited. But before Laura was due to arrive I had to make the salad for the lunchtime BBQ (Taco Salad, yum, yum), go to the local village and buy some material to make Katarina's costume for the school play, then pop in to town and buy Harriet's costume, take Katarina to her Latin American and Ballroom dance classes, whilst Katarina is twirling around the floor go to The Little House Party store and finalise details, pay deposit etc. for Noah's birthday party, go back and pick up Katarina and then finally return home. All in time for Laura to arrive for lunch.

And that was just Saturday. Over the weekend I had to prepare a scrapbooking class double LO, complete with instructions and sketch and this morning I was up at 7am (not a time I usually see) sewing together Katarina's skirt. I have to admit to getting a 'little' stressed over the class I designed but it's done now and hopefully people will like it. In my mind I'm a simple scrapbooker and I worry people will be disappointed.

I have yet to complete my last circle journal (but it is in hand and I'm hoping to post it tomorrow), I have already received the next circle journal and I still need to do something about end of year gifts for the children's teachers. Oh, and I forgot I also need to write out Noah's invitations and I'm sure there are other things that have temporarily slipped my mind.

And the thing is, I don't want to do any of that. It is just too darned hot. When I got in the car at 9am this morning the thermometer was already at 24° and by the time I picked him back up, at 12pm it had risen to 31°. The BBC Weather site is predicting yet another hot week so I probably won't feel much like doing anything later in the week either. I predict lots of time spent in the pool.
