Re: The High-Five Corner

Hmmm…don’t feel particularly organised this week no_dopamine! I got through my busy week okay, but the house looks like a bomb has hit it now, and I am tired enough that my brain fog is hindering me worse than usual. Today I helped with a school rehearsal for a performance the kids are in later this week, and I was all over the place trying to find things I needed (which then turned up under my nose!!) and was rather impulsive with things I said in front of the kids. Ooops! Part of me is happy that my quiet week has begun to fill up, as I have THE appointment on Friday, and I am very nervous about it, so the busier I am, the less time I have to stress about it, but on the other hand, I would have liked some time to relax and recover from last week, as well as tidy up the house.

Quizzical, I love the idea of the sunrise clock. I wonder if it would help my son. He is shocking with alarms. He never wakes up in the morning when he has to. I am tempted to open his outside blind so that his room gets light in the morning as the sun rises. But then I would have to get curtains, as he has nothing but the outside blind to stop people looking in (and we have a double storey house looking into that part of our yard).

I love finding nice surprises when tidying up. But I rarely do! Typical. So a big high five for you Quizzical…what a great reward for your effort!!

Paperwork, Carrie, is a difficult thing. I have a pin up board where really important things go, but it gets taken over as things accumulate and then I lose sight of the most important stuff. Sometimes I write things on the calendar (like “hand in consent form for swimming”) to remind me, other times I put the forms through the straps of my backpack so I see them before I leave to go out, but I really struggle with paperwork in general. Hubby does a lot of it, which really helps, but I still haven’t found a way to deal with the school paperwork and other stuff that’s my responsibility. I know that the best plan of attack is to do any paperwork as soon as I get it, but it’s not always possible, and I also find it really hard to motivate myself to do so.

Yawn….I am so tired but I have so much I should be doing right now. I guess I had better move my butt and get dinner cooked, at the very least.
