I have been utterly shattered this week.
So much work to do and so much to organise.
It's been completely crazy and I've been falling asleep at six thirtyish whilst waiting for the children to finish their baths!
Sportacus is at school and as from next week he is full time. The half days have been awful to juggle around work, childcare and Budding Vet's full days. So a little better with organisation next week. But I've been completely 'meetinged' out. Meetings at 8 am then 3 till 4 then 4 till 430...
Therefore, it is with great relief that out au pair's arrival is imminent. However, what a huge organisational event that is!
Relocation of children's den.
Joiner to make storage.
Need to buy another bed.
Need to buy another car!
Decorating and mending and fixing things...

It's like preparing for a new baby!!!
However, this one appears to be at least 6 feet tall!
He's sent photos and messages to the children already; we've spoken on the phone a few times and I listened to him speaking to my daughter and just knew he was going to be alright. My son gravitates towards males more so than females so I'm hoping my theory is right.
The outlay seems expensive, yet in the long run this will ease the childcare/housework burden so much and for so much less money!

Well, off to do some more sorting out!
