I've had a computer-less day with the children today and...

I loved it!!!
Recently I have found myself very stressed and I thought the children were becoming difficult but I think that was not the answer, I think it was me :(

 I have had to stay in the last two weeks, first week Annabelle had a virus and the second week we have had no car or no need to leave the village.  When we get up I grab a cup of tea, breakfast for the children and switch the laptop on and have a browse whilst the Children play.  If im concentrating on what Im doing I do get cross if the children start to argue and need my attention etc.  But I felt like I had loads to do.

 Last night I decided i needed to organise when I go on the laptop and what I do.  For One Cheshire Mum Blog website it is more more than a blog as im contacting companies, returning emails, networking on facebook and twitter, filling in pages, asking for guest posts and writing them myself.  Plus more.....  It is like a part time job!  All mums that work from home whilst there toddlers and babies are around are an inspiration!!!!

 This morning I gave the house a tidy as it really needed it and its still not to the starndard I want it! I don't mean sparkling clean it would just be nice to have clothes in our cupboards not piled in washing baskets.  Tomorrow is a new day :)  For a couple of hours this afternoon 'Nannie and Grandad', my dad and step mum, came round to drop of the Easter Eggs and play with Annabelle and Callum.  When they left all 4 of us were tired.  We had cuddles on the sofa, the children played with the toys and we were all happy, well exept Phil who has caught the horrible virus Annabelle had last week. 

 They went to bed lovely.  Callum went to bed at 6.55pm and happily chattered to himself and Annabelle went to bed at 7.15 pm and we read a few stories.  Usually I havn't got the energy or desire to read lots of stories.  I sat downstairs at 7.30pm and a happy feeling came over me.  Isn't it great when you feel that you have had a lovely day, a easy bedtime routine for the children and you can sit down at relax.
