Silly Season

I have been absent in my blog duties for a while. This is because I have too much stuff to do. This week is going to be mad.

Monday: I have to go to the Police Station and make a victim impact statement. See Friday for why I’m doing this. I also have to cook a strawberry cream pie for a BBQ we are going to tomorrow and about 6 jars of Lemon Honey as presents for various teachers.

Tuesday: I have a doctors appointment at 9.15. I would have made this for Monday but I had a ring from the Police after I talked to the doctor. I have to do the victim impact statement on Monday so they have enough time to get it to Upper Hutt by Friday. I have to bake some biscuits for Wednesday and maybe another batch of Alison Holst truffles. I did make a double batch last week so that I would have two ready to go plates, but I um, ate a ‘few’.

The best thing about Tuesday is the evening. We have three functions. The excitement will begin with a swimming carnival at the the girls swimming club. This will finish with a BBQ, I don’t have to cook dinner. Then the Hubster has a BOT meeting. When that is finished, hopefully around 8pm we will head out with the strawberry cream pie to another BBQ. Note I am taking children aged 7 and 9 out at 8pm.

Wednesday: Try and wake children to get them to school. At 10.30 go back to school. Our school has won an enviroschools award and the mayor is coming to present it. G1 is part of the group who will receive the award. I offered to make a nice morning tea for the mayor some weeks ago, before I know about Monday and Tuesday. That’s what the biscuits are for. After I’ve eaten morning tea I’m bring G1 home with me. She has to go to the hospital for a test for which she will be sedated. It will take about 2 hours. The test is horrible and she threatened to run away from home when she found out what would happen to her. The thought of this is making me a little tense.

Thursday: We have to get new car tyres for our warrant. I think I will have to do this on Thursday. We also have the school concert/break up. After we have watched a production of ‘Bad Jelly the Witch’, sat through the excitement of the recorder playing and mass singing, there will be a ‘bring a plate’ supper. Roll on truffles that I made on Tuesday which, in theory, I haven’t eaten yet.

Friday: I’m driving for about two hours to Upper Hutt for the court case for which I made the victim impact statement. The reason for this is my father was killed in a traffic accident in June. The young man who caused the accident is having his first court appearance. I’m planning to drive home in the afternoon. I am also feel more than a little tense about this.

After managing this week I’ve decided that I have the organisational skills to run Telcom. And I’d get a lunch break.
