I need to confess

I have no life,lol

well I do but Sarah made a comment that

made me think,

she asked how I managed to get so much sewing done

so I thought about it and worked it out

a typical day for me goes like this

* 7:30-8am I get up, and get the family

out the door for school/work by 8:45 at the latest

* I put the washing on as soon as I get up

* clean up the breakfast/school lunch mess

* shower & dress

* drink coffee and chat to henrycat

* hang out the washing and make sure something is thawing

for dinner

* collect the mail and the paper from in town

* more coffee while reading the paper

then by 10:30-11am

I get to do what I want which usually involves

sewing something fun

* 12:30-1pm dh come home for lunch

back into my sewing by 1:30-2pm

* I head out to collect the girlies from school, call into the

supermarket if needed

then home, get them afternoon tea, supervise homework

and finish off whatever is under the foot of my sewing machine

I don't do any machine work when dh is home, thats family time

collect the washing

start dinner

we eat 6-6:30pm, dishes done by 7pm

then we watch the biggest loser, kids have showers,

teeth and bed for them by 8:15pm

then I get to sit on the couch and do some hand sewing 

(currently stitching the centres on my Kaleidascope hexagons)

until I go to bed which is usually midnightish sometimes later

go to bed, sleep, and start it all over again

as a general rule

Monday is housework day

every 2nd Thursday is grocery shopping day

3rd Monday of eash month is my out of the house

sewing day with the local quilting group

what makes it easier for me to do so much is I am not big on clutter

it's a case of use it or lose in this house, and I have big clean outs

frequently and I cannot stand piles of 'stuff' anywhere,

except for my sewing room

I WILL NOT clean the kids rooms, they are responsible for

making their beds, putting out their washing and 

keeping their rooms clean. If they don't do it they don't 

get any pocket money.

I like to be organised

and as I am getting older

I CAN"T STAND ANY MESS

as we are renting here, this house has NO GARDEN 

we only have to mow and dh does that

so my weekdays are my own to do what I want

weekends dh plays golf and Sundays are family day

we head to the beach, go for drives or just hang out at home.

Its a good life, its my life and I love it :)
