Today is not one of those days, today is a happy chirpy post!
Thursday is a planned day. Our home-ed group day. Six hours of fun, socialising, a mix educational, crafty and physical activities. It's busy, noisy. sometimes chilly and an important part of our week. We all get a lot out of our time together there.
Today was no exception, only I was not there and Daddy was. I'm told all sorts of fun happened including the planting of 60 saplings donated to our group and donated on again to the village hall we use to be enjoyed not only by us but the whole community for many years to come. Art and craft, digging, new members and friends made.
I stayed home and ignored the mess.
I sewed, sung to myself with the radio up very loud and had some some much needed me time. I often find it very hard to be selfish when I have this sort of time and although normally I am VERY able to ignore the mess around our home, when left on my own for any length of time feel the need to tidy like a woman possessed. The last big chunk I had like this I spent the day completely re-arranging the lounge, clearing and sorting. It was useful, really it was, but not time best spent for me.
But today I did this...

 |
| ignore the mess, ignore the mess, ignore the mess |
 |
| Yay! It's done, it fits and she likes it! |
I managed to ignore the mess (I really am well practised!) and used the time doing something I really love.
