I’m kinda sad. The app I used to do Day in the Life/Week in the Life on my phone before no longer works. So today instead of getting lots of pretty pictures (like last year) you get a text rundown of my day. If you know a replacement to the Days app I will be forever grateful 😉

3am (rough guess didn’t look at my phone) – Miss A awake, kinda. Quick cuddle and back to sleep.
7:30 – awake to Miss K yelling out to me from her room. YouTube doesn’t work :/ go in tell her it’s broken so either go back to sleep or go watch kids TV. Go back to bed.
8:40 – decide we should probably get up. Miss A awake and babbling to the cat.
9:00 – finally crawl out of bed. Morning cuppa, couple of crumpets for breakfast and quick check of my email. Install preview of new Office.
9:30 – shower. Hubby lit fire.
10:30ish – take Miss A for her morning nap. Text mum.
11– help Miss K clean her room so she can go out to my Mum & Dad’s this afternoon.
12 – sit down and get some work done for a client
12:30 – lunch (just noticed – had the same lunch last time I did this LOL)
1 – chuck a load in the dishwasher and a load of clothes in the washer
1:30 – mum picked up Miss K for the afternoon. Miss A woke up.
2 – pottered round the house doing some housework
4:30 – sit down to do a bit more work
5:30 – tea (garlic pizza and stromboli)
6:30 – girls bathed and into bed
7:30 – hubby out for the evening playing D&D with his mates
8 – make a cuppa, grab a snack, sit down and check facebook & email
8:30 – scrapbooking time!
10 – still scrapbooking. Time for a cuppa and something to munch on (hot chocolate & a forest fruit muesli bar)
midnight – finally crawling into bed.

Night all!

So today’s prompt is Self care Sunday. :/ I’m the first to admit since having Miss A my self care time (aka scrapping time) is pretty non existent 🙁 ergo I won’t be blogging about self care but sharing some quotes that really struck a chord with me today.

Today’s #BEDM prompt is Adventure (Share a story, tell us what adventure means to you, interpret creatively). So I’m sharing a little creative writing with you today. My little adventure story 😉

Clumsy Virginia Hemingway
A Short Story by Jamie Misty Campbell

Doris Ramsbottom had always loved industrial San Francisco with its vain, vivacious volcanoes. It was a place where she felt calm.

She was a generous, generous, tea drinker with curvaceous fingers and ample moles. Her friends saw her as an ashamed, aggressive animal. Once, she had even rescued a striped puppy from a burning building. That’s the sort of woman he was.

Doris walked over to the window and reflected on her wild surroundings. The rain hammered like bopping puppies.

Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Virginia Hemingway. Virginia was a clumsy teacher with scrawny fingers and hairy moles.

Doris gulped. She was not prepared for Virginia.

As Doris stepped outside and Virginia came closer, she could see the bumpy glint in her eye.

Virginia gazed with the affection of 6901 grateful giant goldfish. She said, in hushed tones, “I love you and I want a pencil.”

Doris looked back, even more cross and still fingering the weathered record. “Virginia, yabba Dabba Doo,” she replied.

They looked at each other with lonely feelings, like two kaleidoscopic, knotty koalas hopping at a very hilarious birthday party, which had indie music playing in the background and two cute uncles jumping to the beat.

Doris studied Virginia’s scrawny fingers and hairy moles. Eventually, she took a deep breath. “I’m sorry,” began Doris in apologetic tones, “but I don’t feel the same way, and I never will. I just don’t love you Virginia.”

Virginia looked fuzzy, her emotions raw like a short, slobbering sandwich.

Doris could actually hear Virginia’s emotions shatter into 9915 pieces. Then the clumsy teacher hurried away into the distance.

Not even a cup of tea would calm Doris’s nerves tonight.

THE END

Hehe did that give you a giggle? I generated 3 or 4 before picking this one. Some of the results are hilarious.
