We are going on holiday with Mum & Dad tomorrow, this has been booked for many many months, long before I knew we would be moving again. The kids are bouncing of the walls with excitement and I'm almost on my knees with exhaustion. Because I started a new job last week (just after deciding I was going to work every hour to get my Etsy shop up and running by march!) I have had little time for packing ( House move packing not holiday!) I also have another job to start straight after half term, so I'll be split three ways with work, but at least the move will be behind me.
I spent Saturday finishing up the painting on the paper clay heads (to be brooches) I had ten painted and ready to varnish when I was called away to view the girls holiday packing (lots of soft toys and not many clothes) I returned to just nine brooches and a dog who had decided to risk his life by eating number ten!!! I can honestly say that was the first time I have had very bad, borderline murderous thoughts towards the 'darling' dog.
still nine have survived and I'll replace the cat as soon as I can. I felt these needed to be worked on this weekend as I won't have time after the holidays. Of course this made packing even more frantic, but I have achieved a lot, the majority is packed and the bathroom & kitchen have been scrubbed. I just need to pack a bag for the holiday and I'm done, or at least I've done all I can for now. I must try to relax as at the moment I just feel very anxious that I am faced with five days where I can't do anything!! also that I'm not earning any money whilst away. It's been so long since I've had a holiday I'm not really getting into the spirit of it am I ?
Well I'm hoping to watch a French thriller now that I'm downloading from i tunes, although if it doesn't hurry up I'll be asleep with my glass of French wine instead. Have a happy week and good holidays for those that are on half term like me, (the other thing I can't do is blog next week, no computers, no tv just fresh air and lots of sleep I hope). xx
