I don't normally spend Saturday evening writing schedules, doing meal plans and thinking about grocery shopping, but that's what I've been doing tonight. See, I had this sudden realisation that the week ahead of me is going to take some very careful scheduling if we are going to survive it, especially as I managed to completely fail to notice that Tom's drama school's local 3:30pm and 6:30pm shows will clash with Caitlin's school dance group's 45 minute drive away 5:00pm performance next Saturday. It's a good thing I'd also failed to buy tickets for the dance performance thus making decisions about which show to watch very easy. It would help if I hadn't volunteered to serve supper and kid-wrangle backstage at both the drama shows...
I've also blithely planned to take Caitlin to check out another choir a half hour drive away on Monday afternoon at the exact same time as Tom has his local drama class, Caitlin has a dance performance on Wednesday night and I'm expecting this to be a busy week on the paid work front for me. I need to clone myself.

I am so impressed that you plan your meals, the whole day, not just lunch and dinner! All the best with surviving this upcoming week.
ReplyDeleteA few thoughts. Clearly, there is not enough alcohol and chocolate in that meal plan to get you through a week like that one! ALso, I just got back from kid wrangling at the drama tonight. My advice, pack a hip flask. Seriously, it's been a while but I reckon I'd prefer to give birth again rather than do that again!
ReplyDeleteI don't have to plan alcohol and chocolate, they happen spontaneously ;-)
ReplyDeleteMim, what a week! The way you described it made me laugh, though. (I also like Sim's hip flask idea...)
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to read your menu for the week. I have to rush to do a Google search on several items:)
Oh my, you do need a clone.
