Because weekends are for relaxing ...

Someone-who-shall-remain-nameless decided that it would be a good idea for the rugrats to have swimming lessons at 9.00am on a Saturday morning. The same someone-who-shall-remain-nameless has now started working Saturdays (whoops, did I just give it away ? my bad) so I have the pleasure of hanging out at a swimming pool early in the morning ... yay.

I set my alarm for 7.50 this morning, to give myself the luxury of one "Snooze" setting before I had to get up at 8.00 (am I the only person who does this ?). Unfortunately I pushed "Off" instead of "Snooze" ... and the MOTH's dad woke me up when he rang at 8.25 with his weekly "Hi-how-are-things-how-are-the-kids going ?" phone call.

So today went like this ...
- Swimming lessons
- Drive thru McDonalds breakfast for the rugrats (because bad mommy didn't get out of bed in time to make it for them before swimming)
- Butcher
- Visit to The Warehouse to switch the MOTH's thermals (why is it that men refuse to try stuff on and then get all pissy when they get it home and it doesn't actually fit ?)
- Grocery shopping with what seemed like the entire population of Dunedin (I always take a list, written in order of store layout so I can work my way through the store in the minimum amount of time ... it still took me two hours !!!)
- Home to throw the frozen food in the freezer while the rugrats changed into their BMX gear
- A two hour coaching clinic at the track
- Laundry
- Housework
- Friends over for dinner ...

In comparison, going back to work on Monday looks positively therapeutic :)
