So much to do so little time!!!

Yesterday was busy, but luckily not eventful!! I got a lot more de-cluttering and tidying and washing and putting away done!! Why do holidays always end like this?! I finally remembered to take Little Prince's friends their presents from our holidays up to school for him to give to them as they came out. We then came home for a while before setting off for his group swimming lesson. During the lesson I tried to get hold of Drama Teen to find out if she had arrived back from her school trip. She was due back at the same time Little Prince started his lesson, but the teachers had said they weren't sure of the arrival time as it depended on traffic. If she did get back during Little Prince's lesson we'd arranged that she would go home with a friend who was also on the trip, and that I'd pick her up after swimming. Trouble is she didn't answer her phone or reply to the text I sent her! Once Little Prince had finished splashing around in the pool (there's a new inexperienced teacher who can't really handle him or the rest of the class so they don't learn much, but he has fun so that's what matters) we got ready and set off to pick up Drama Teen, still not knowing if she was at her friends, still travelling or what! All the way to her friends I tried to ring her, but got no response, I left loads of messages on her voicemail and got crosser and crosser!! Poor Drama Teen!! When I arrived at her friend's house, she was already there, calmly eating an iced lolly!!! Once we were in the car I flipped!! I yelled, told her we might as well throw her phone away as it obviously didn't work and was generally obnoxious. Drama Teen kept apologising but I'd worked myself up too much and just carried on ranting. It was a horrible journey :-( I did eventually calm down and apologise and we are speaking to each other again now, and she still has her phone!!

We set straight off to the train station to pick up LMS who is visiting for the weekend, to celebrate Mr Messy's birthday last week. Little Prince fell fast asleep on the way to the station, and didn't wake up when we arrived. LMS's train was on time and she came over to the car, I think she was about to complain that we didn't go into the station to meet her, but when she saw her snoring brother she realised why lol. She put her bags in the boot and that woke Little Prince up, he was quite confused and not really with it, but obviously thrilled to see his biggest sister :-) We went to McDonald's on the way home and he got a Light Sabre toy, trouble is he seemed to decide that LMS was a bad guy (she was wearing black!!) and practiced his Jedi moves on her!! She quickly confiscated the Light Sabre!!

When we got home Little Prince insisted LMS take him to bed, although the nap earlier meant he wasn't quite ready for sleeping and he was up and down the stairs way too many times before finally falling asleep!!! Drama Teen got on with her homework and was supposed to tidy her room, she didn't do much of the latter!! Me and LMS chatted downstairs while she was on her computer. We stayed up far too late and were both like zombies this morning lol.
