Today has been a bit all over the place.  I work (paid work, not the unpaid domestic work at home) on Monday and Wednesday, so find that Thursday can be a little disjointed and often a little hectic.  I tend to be trying to catch up on the things I haven’t done earlier in the week that by now are screaming for attention.  I write a very comprehensive list!  But today I haven’t really maintained focus.  I slept in rather than going to the gym – too dark, too cold!  Did the folding but not the ironing.  Had a cuppa after school drop-off with some of the other school mums.  Took Stella to Gymbaroo.  Wandered around the local shopping centre getting gifts for the myriad of birthdays that are occurring over the next few days.  Came home and looked at my creative space.

Well illuminated by the Ott-Lite that was a birthday gift from my Mum and Dad is a pile of stuff waiting to be sorted. Vintage buttons, recently purchased, needing to be added to the stash. New Look 6333 all cut out and partly assembled. Wrapping paper to be put away.  Patterns to be put away.  A copy of Women’s Day Complete Book of Handcrafts that my aunt recently donated to me.  Instead of doing any of the sorting and tidying I finished sewing Stella’s outfit, just in time to head back to school for pick-up.  Then an information session about school camp, home to read her report (terrific, of course!) and now getting ready to babysit for a friend tonight.

What has been ticked off my list?  Not very much!  Another day almost gone, but with the knowledge of an evening ahead on the couch in front of the telly, chocolate and crochet in hand.  My friend’s kids are good sleepers.  And the list will still be there tomorrow.
