Gosh it's been a hot busy day. I've been running around after the kids all day since they finished school for the summer. Roger filled the pool today so the kids have been happily splashing about.  Today was a perfect day for sunbathing but I never got the chance to spend quality time out in it because I was running about like an headless chicken after the kids, they trashed the floors with wet footprints, got soaking wet towels and swimsuits lying all about ugh - I don't know where to start! It's going to be nice again tomorrow so I'll make sure i'm a little more organised.

My mum visited today, she's been cleaning out her wardrobe, she let me borrow tops for my holiday next week, honestly half of them still have the price tags still on, they look so pretty. I don't know why she doesn't wear them?I've been trying my best to get on the sunbed everyday, I want to have some sort of a tan before I go to Tenerife, the last thing I want is to turn up on the beach looking like a snowman lol.

I have a list of things I have to get done before I go away, the reason being I don't want to worry about loose ends while I away, or coming back to them for that matter! The length of that list is huge, It's daunting just looking at it; I need about 2 days just to cover the work end of it - let alone sorting things out for the kiddies.

While I'm away Joss will be off on a 2 week army course, so I have to make sure he's packed before I go. Sigh. Sooooo much packing. Sooo much cleaning. I have my Mum in Law staying here while I'm away, I want the place to be clean and all, you know what I mean! I want to make sure everything is accessible, easy to find etc.

Health-wise, I'm feeling tired I think my mum picked up on that today, we talked some more about my stresses, she warned me not to let things take over my mind so much. She's right, but it's easier said than done. With 8 other people living under 1 roof, you'd think they're concerns would be enough to cope with, but having to worry about work because things aren't getting done fast enough is mind blowing!

Anyway, if I get that list of things done, by the time I get back from my hols, i'll be totally re-charged and rearing to go again.

...Then maybe I may not want to come home lol...

I am Boston, Massachusetts in the good ole USA I visited Wales, England and Scotland when I was 16 (almost 30 years ago!) however I can't remember where my Aunt (the one I stayed with in Liverpool) took me to in Wales. Have you been to the states?

It would be easier for me to explain if you tell me where your from, right now the best I can do is tell you Im from Wales UK. If you know where wales is, i can explain where I'd be residing in more detail lol.
