Yesterday

LMS was a complete star yesterday and let me have a lie in :-) Little Prince had woken me up at stupid o'clock (way before 6am!!) and I was absolutely tired out! I woke the girls up when my alarm went off and asked LMS if I could have half an hour back in bed, and she managed to get her sister off to the bus in time and her brother fed, dressed and up to school and left me in bed till after 10am. Bliss :-)

Mr Messy was home in the afternoon, and we both walked up to school to get Little Prince. We were in the middle of sorting out why he had someone else's school jumper when he was 'kidnapped' by his girlfriend H, to go and play at her house! So we ended up walking home without him, just with all his bags lol. When we got back LMS made bolognaise for everyone while I got Little Prince's swimming stuff sorted out and then went and picked him up from H's house. He has changed his swimming lesson day so that he is in the same class as H, which he is much happier about. The lesson went slightly better than last weeks, but still seemed like organised chaos as the teacher isn't that experienced and has to deal with a wide range of ages and abilities. When we got back from swimming I handed Little Prince over to Mr Messy who was in charge of feeding and bathing him, as I was getting ready to go out for a meal with a couple of friends. Drama Teen had come back from her friends house and had her reheated bolognaise, and LMS had gone out for a motorway driving lesson.

I had a great time with my friends, we had a nice meal and a good natter :-) We are planning to do this again about once a month, which should be lovely :-) When I got home I asked LMS how the motorway driving had gone, and she HATED it! It was scary, there was too much going on and she never wants to do it again!! Trouble is she has another lesson tomorrow morning!!! Oh dear!! She needs to learn and to boost her confidence as she is taking her car to University tomorrow (well I'm driving it all the way there and coming home on the train!) and she will be very restricted if she won't/can't use motorways.
